It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the petirah of habochur Moshe Gafni z”l, son of Rabbi and Mrs. Meir Gafni, the head of the Heichal Yitzchak Beis Midrash in Modi’in Illit. He was 21 years old.
On Erev Shabbos, Moshe went to the sea with his friends and he sadly drowned.
Rescue forces evacuated him to the hospital, where they were forced to pronounce his death.
Moshe was born in Modi’in Illit in 2003 to his father, Rabbi Meir Gafni, and his mother, Shifra Efrat, daughter of Rav Asher Sofer of Bnei Brak.
His petirah has shocked his many acquaintances and friends, and the mispallelim at the Heichal Yitzchak Beis Midrash in Kiryat Sefer.
He is survived by his parents and 10 siblings.
The levayah and kevurah were held on Motzoei Shabbos at the Rechovot Bais Hachaim.
Umacha Hashem dimah me’al kol ponim.
