Jewish Community’s Tragic Loss

The Jewish Press joins Klal Yisrael in mourning the tragic passing of Yisroel Levin, a”h, 21 years old, and Elisheva Kaplan, a”h, 20 years old. They were recently engaged to be married, but, tragically, they both were killed when their car caught fire during a horrific five-car crash on April 4 just outside Kennedy Airport in New York.

In the accident, five people were injured with two of the injured now under arrest as police are reportedly investigating whether they were driving while intoxicated.

Photos of the couple exude a sunny, almost storybook Jewish sweetness; the pair seemed an ideal match, destined to build a true Jewish home together. May their memory be a blessing.
