UPDATE 11/10/2026
Thank you to everyone who has given and shared. We ask two things of you today.
Yitzchak ז"ל has still not been brought home to be buried. Nearly four weeks after his petira in Uman on Rosh Hashanah, his family is still waiting. Part of what we are raising is to bring him back to his family so he can be laid to rest.
And the need has not gone away. Seven children have lost their father and their provider. They will need support for years to come - everyday needs, education, everything he worked to give them.
So please:
1. Donate whatever you can.
2. Share this campaign with 5 people today.
3. Daven - for the family, and that Yitzchak should be brought to kevura swiftly.Seven children have suddenly lost their father. We cannot take away their pain - but together, we can help secure their future.
Original Post
Yitzchak, beloved by all in the kehilla, went to Uman for yom tov as he did every year, but was tragically and unexpectedly niftar, leaving his family broken. What should have been a time of tefillah, hope and renewal has become a devastating tragedy.
No amount of money can replace a father. But as a community, we can make sure that alongside their grief, these children do not also face overwhelming financial uncertainty.
Our urgent goal is to raise £500,000 to give the children stability, security and support in the years ahead - everyday needs, education, and all their father would have worked to provide.
Please open your heart, give generously, and share this campaign with family, friends and community.
May our collective tzedakah be an ilui neshama for Yitzchak zatzal, and may his family know no more sorrow.
This Keren will be run and overseen by Rabbi Alan Wilkinson and Rabbi Schneebalg, with the support of Edgware Rabbonim, Rabbi Yaakov Hamer & Rabbi Dovid Tugendhaft.
