It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of R’ Refoel Dovid Shonek z”l. He was 30 years old.
R’ Dovid was a walking miracle, having undergone a double lung transplant and endured numerous medical nisyonos that were beyond comprehension. R’ Dovid battled with remarkable emunah and bitachon, being mechazeik all those who wished to strengthen him.
R’ Dovid, who lived in Lakewood and served as a rosh chaburah at Bais Medrash Govoah, was a choshuve ben Torah and ben aliyah, and a devoted son, father and husband. As one adam choshuv said, R’ Dovid was purified by the tribulations he underwent.
R’ Dovid is survived by his wife, his children, his parents, Rabbi and Mrs. Chaim Shonek, and numerous friends and admirers who will miss him dearly.

Approximately 2,000 bochurim took part in a heartwarming bein hazemanim kumzitz event last night at Lake Terrace Hall in Lakewood, NJ.
Admission was free for this event, which was the brainchild of Yosef Travis, who sought to present a musical evening for bochurim during their Pesach break.
For several hours yesterday, crews of workers and volunteers set up a full stage, with comprehensive lighting and a high-class sound system, while some 2,000 chairs were placed across the cavernous hall.
The program featured singers Beri Weber and Uri Davidi, child soloist Moshe Holtzman, and the Zemiros Choir, with music by Yossi Shtendig Productions and a six piece band.

A robocall stating that a kol korei applies to tonight’s kumzitz event at Lake Terrace Hall in Lakewood, NJ is categorically false.
“Unfortunately, it is a fabrication of some misguided individuals with an agenda,” an organizer told Matzav.com.
The event has not been subject to a kol korei of any kind.
The event will be featuring singers Beri Weber and Uri Davidi, music by Yossi Shtendig Productions, and Zemiros Choir.
The fake robo call can be heard here:
