Avreich and Three Yeshiva Students Killed in Jeep Accident
in Judean Desert
By S. Bruchi
Stunned and shattered, thousands took part in the
levayos for an avreich and three yeshiva
students from Yeshivas Meor HaTorah in Telz-Stone who were
killed late Monday 22 Av in a jeep accident in Nachal Pares
in the Aravah. The victims were Sinai Sharazi and his brother
Amir of Netanya, Gilad Dahari of Elyachin, and avreich
Avrohom Rosenfeld z"l of Telz-Stone.
Monday morning the four yeshiva students from Meor HaTorah, a
yeshiva for high school graduates, set out on a trip in the
Judean Desert, along with R' Avrohom Rosenfeld. The group had
plans to return to Jerusalem that evening to take part in the
wedding of another student at the yeshiva.
When they failed to arrive, friends tried to contact them by
cell phone, but could not get an answer. The police were
notified and a search got underway. ZAKA volunteers also
joined the search. After two hours the searchers agreed to
turn off all their motors to see if they could hear anything,
and one of the search units heard cries for help coming from
the lone survivor of the accident, who had sustained serious
injuries.
Two helicopters from the IDF's 669 rescue unit arrived to
evacuate him to Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva. When
the search-and-rescue workers descended deep in to the wadi,
they came upon a horrifying scene. Three of the
bochurim and the avreichim were found lifeless
after the jeep had tumbled down a steep embankment.
