We are deeply saddened to report on the tragic passing of Hatomim Mendel Bluming, the son of Rabbi Gedaliah and Nechama Dina Bluming. He passed away this morning after he was struck by a speeding car while walking near the Suffield Yeshivah.
He was 15.
On Yud Beis Tammuz, Mendel, the son of 770 mashgiach Rabbi Gedaliah and Nechama Dina Bluming, was walking safely on a street near Suffield Yeshiva. Despite heeding all safety precautions, including wearing a reflective vest, tragedy struck when a speeding driver struck Mendel head-on, catapulting him into the air.
The impact shattered his legs, broke his nose, and caused severe brain trauma and other critical injuries.
Emergency responders fought desperately to keep him alive. Against all odds, Mendel clung to life, and his vitals stabilized. But Mendel remained unconscious, his severe injuries requiring more than the care available at the local hospital.
After being stabilized, Mendel was transferred to a New York City Hospital where he was eventually discharged and went into Rehab.
Sadly, he tragically passed away this morning, 15 Elul 5784.
The Levaya will take place on Thursday, 16 Elul, and will pass 770 at 1:00 pm. Burial will follow at Montefiore cemetery in Queens.
Levaya and Shiva information to be announced.
