Memorial Gathering for Yaakov Yisroel Citron z"l

By Betzalel Kahn

A his'orerus gathering was held for yeshiva and kollel students on Erev Rosh Chodesh Nisan in Jerusalem's Ramat Polin neighborhood to give chizuk for the summer zman and in memory of yeshiva student Yaakov Yisroel Citron z"l, who lost his life tragically just two days after Pesach ended.

Speakers included HaRav Zevulun Shub, rosh yeshiva of the yeshiva gedoloh in Ramat Shlomo, and HaRav Zeev Cohen, a ram at Yeshivas Meor HaTalmud.

Yaakov Yisroel Citron was the 15-year-old son of HaRav Michoel Citron, a ram at Yeshivas Chochmas Shlomo in Jerusalem's Bayit Began neighborhood and at yeshivas Chazon Boruch in France. The deceased's mother is the daughter of HaRav Avrohom Altman, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Ateres Tzvi in Ashdod.

During a trip to the Golan Heights organized by his yeshiva he slipped on a rock and drowned in a stream.
