It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of Rafael Shmuel ben Fraydel Miriam, the young boy whose health struggles caught the attention and tugged at the heart of the entire Klal Yisrael.
Rafael Shmuel was born with his intestines outside of his body and required surgeries immediately after birth. Miraculously, Rafael Shmuel survived and spent several year being cherished by his family.
Unfortunately, Rafael Shmuel’s condition required correction through more surgeries and he returned to surgery last week accompanied by the tefillos of Klal Yisrael.
