With profound sorrow, the tragic passing of young Betzalel David Giller, OBM, has been announced. He was the son of Rabbi Menashe Giller, a prominent Chabad Chassid in the Chabad neighborhood of Lod.
The five-year-old was rushed to the Assaf Harofeh Medical Center in critical condition while CPR was being performed, after being left in a vehicle and later found in critical condition. Unfortunately, just minutes later, the hospital was forced to declare his passing.
Lod Mayor Yair Revivo said: “I received with profound sorrow and great pain the devastating news of the tragic death of a five-year-old child from the city’s Chabad community, after he was left in a vehicle. There are no words that can describe the magnitude of this tragedy, and there are no words that can truly comfort a family that has lost its most precious possession. On behalf of myself and the city administration, I send my heartfelt condolences to the family and embrace them during this difficult and unimaginable time.
“Alongside the profound mourning, this terrible tragedy compels us all to stop and remember: During these hot days, in the scorching month of August, a closed vehicle can become a life-threatening trap within minutes. Never leave a child in a vehicle—not even for a moment. Protect our children. Protect those dear to you. Our hearts are with the family. May his memory be a blessing.”
The levayah took take place today (Sunday) at 6:00 p.m. at the children’s section of the Lod cemetery.
May it be G-d’s will that the prophecy, “Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust,” be fulfilled immediately, and that he be among those who arise.
