Levi Lewin, a 16-year-old Lubavitcher bochur who was studying in Yeshivas Tzeirei Hatmimim of Tzfas, passed away on Monday, 3 Tishrei, Tzom Gedalya, 5784.
He was 16 years old.
Levi was the son of Rabbi Dovid and Devorah Leah, shluchim to Quebec City, Canada.
He was studying in Yeshivas Tzeirei Hatmimim of Tzfas, and had just recently begun his third year there.
“He was a talented and beloved student,” Rabbi Chaim Kaplan, the Yeshiva’s director and Head Shliach to Tzfas, told Anash.org. “He was a studious bochur, who would sit for hours and learn without breaks.”
Levi was known for his love of learning and gaining knowledge in all areas of Torah. He always looked out to help bochurim who needed assistance in their studies, and always had a smile on his face.
He had a special chayus in Ahavas Yisroel, and a good relationship with all types of bochurim. He managed the yeshiva’s library and always endeavored to acquire more seforim to enrich the library.
“Levi had a plan this year to study the entire Keser Shem Tov and to review Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, plans which will now never be completed,” Rabbi Kaplan said.
Levi suffered from a medical issue since childhood. Sunday night, Motzei Rosh Hashanah, there was a medical complication at night and tragically, he passed away.

Dévora et David nous avons su la mauvaise nouvelle qui repose en paix au gan éden qui vous protège et que hachem vous aide à surmonté cette douloureuse épreuve courage 🙏
We are very sad every time to lose young people but when we read how good and clever was Levy z”l, all the kehila is crying for the loss of the rich future in studying and teaching he would have be able to give for yaadout.
Be that loved soul received in Gan Eden.
