The city of Ramat Beit Shemesh is still reeling from the gruesome death of Rabbi Avraham Anshin, 33. Anshin was run over by a truck at a construction site, on his way to Mincha prayers. Emergency responders recall the horrific scene:
"We saw a 40-year-old man lying unconscious with multiple systemic injuries on a dirt path near a construction site. He was breathless and pulseless. We performed medical tests and in a short time we had to determine his death."
Those who knew Rabbi Anshin have continued to gush about what a special person he was: Relatives say that he was kind to everyone, and that he would stop his bus to give rides to those in need. Others recall that he worked previously as a volunteer firefighter. The children who rode with him each morning to school are reportedly “traumatized” by his sudden death.
No one is more affected, however, than the children and widow he left behind. Anshin was responsible for supporting his family, and lived extremely simply. Now that he has passed, wife Faiga has no way to take care of her children. The family is also of course reeling from shock & grief.
Donations are being urgently collected to help cover the Anshin children’s basic needs, after this unthinkable tragedy.
