Tragic Petira of 16-Year-Old Eliyahu Goldworm Z”L

UPDATE 3:00AM EST: YWN regrets to inform you of the tragic Petira just moments ago (2:02AM EST) of 16-year-old Eliyahu Goldworm Z"L of Boro Park, who was R"L hit by a vehicle on Sunday night in Lakewood NJ.

Lakewood Hatzolah Paramedics had found Eliyahu to be in traumatic arrest upon their arrival at the scene of the accident, and managed to get his heart beating again. Hatzolah then transported him to Jersey Shore Trauma Center, where doctors attempted to save his life. He was placed on life support as family members from Brooklyn were rushed on moments notice by Misaskim Units of Lakewood and NYC to his bedside. Klal Yisroel recited Tehillim on his behalf, but unfortunately there was nothing doctors were able to do, and he was Niftar just after 2:00AM.

Eliyahu was a Talmid (student) in Lakewood Mesivta on Kennedy Boulevard, and is the son of Reb Yisroel Goldworm Shlita, a former Rosh Yeshiva at Meor Hatalmud in Boro Park.

As of this update (3:00AM), Volunteers from Misaskim of Lakewood and NYC are working to ensure that the Levaya takes place on the following schedule: In Boro Park at 9:30AM in Yeshiva Meor Hatalmud 1369 39th Street, and in the Lakewood Mesivta (on Kennedy Boulevard, Lakewood NJ) at 1:00PM. [Any changes in the schedule will be posted as they become available.]
