With great sadness and deep pain, we inform you of the tragic and untimely passing of R’ Eliyahu Matisyahu (Elias) Friedman, OB”M, a young father who passed away suddenly last night from a heart attack. He was 48 years old.
Elias was a beloved figure in the Jewish paramedic circles of Manhattan, where he served as Critical Care EMT with SeniorCare, and volunteered with Hatzalah of the Upper West Side (UWS).
His sudden passing comes as an utter shock to his friends and family, who celebrated his wedding less than a year ago, and the birth of his daughter a mere few days ago.
He is survived by his wife Rivka (daughter of Gershon and Nina Orenstein of Crown Heights), and their newborn daughter Malya Leah Friedman who was born Erev Shabbos. He is also survived by his siblings.
A fund was set up to ensure the needs of the wife and daughter are taken care of, please donate generously: https://www.youcaring.com/rivkafriedman-1169240.
The Levaya will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, leaving from Shomrei Hadas at 12:00pm.
