In an unimaginable continuation of tragedy for the Goldstein family, five-year-old Yisrael Ben Tzion Goldstein z”l was tragically killed this evening in a horrific accident on Rechov Petach Tikvah in the Romema neighborhood of Yerushalayim.
The levayah was held at the Shamgar funeral home, with kevurah on Har HaMenuchos.
This latest heartbreak comes on the heels of a devastating series of losses for the Goldstein family. In Elul of last year, the mother, Shoshana Goldstein a”h, passed away at the age of 34 following the birth of her twin daughters, Rivkah a”h and Bracha a”h, both of whom also tragically died.
As previously reported, Shoshana collapsed during what was expected to be a routine labor and was rushed to the hospital after being without oxygen for several minutes. Though doctors managed to restart her breathing, the prolonged lack of oxygen caused irreversible brain damage.
A rushed emergency C-section brought the twins into the world, but Rivkah passed away less than two days later. Shoshana succumbed two weeks later, and Bracha passed away five months after birth.
Now, the family is again plunged into mourning with the loss of young Yisrael Ben Tzion, described by those who knew him as a pure, gentle soul.
The bereaved father, Rav Moshe Goldstein, a distinguished talmid chacham, is one of the prominent talmidim of Rav Moshe Sternbuch.
Following the mother’s passing, the family relocated from Beit Shemesh to Yerushalayim, where they moved in with the maternal grandfather, Rav Dovid Neuwirth, a dedicated gabbai at the Chanechei HaYeshivos shul in Yerushalayim and a talmid chacham who learns in the Mir Yeshiva.
Yehi zichro baruch.
