YWN regrets to inform you of the sudden tragic Petira of Chaim Elefant Z”L. He was 32. Chaim was on an Alaska Air flight from Los Angeles to Ft Lauderdale with two of his business partners when he suddenly suffered a massive heart attack. The plane immediately began making an emergency landing in New Orleans. The flight crew did CPR on him until the plane landed, and Paramedics rushed him to a hospital, where he was unfortunately Niftar. There happened to be a Flatbush Hatzolah Paramedic in the area at the time who made his way to the hospital to assist his shocked partners and to ensure Kavod Hames. With tremendous Siyata Dishmaya, the local coroner released the Niftar after intervention by Chesed Shel Emes and various Askanim. A generous individual flew a private jet to pick up the Niftar to fly him back to Los Angeles for the Levaya and Kevurah. The Niftar leaves behind his wife Malka (Nee Citronenbaum) and four children, the oldest under age 7, and the youngest who is just a few months old. He is the son of Yehuda and Lisa Elefant of Flatbush. Family and friends have started a fund on the Chesed Fund to assist this shattered family. Please click here to donate. Boruch Dayan HaEmmes…
