A moment before Yom Kippur begins, parents bless their children with birchas habonim. But the one-year-old son of shliach Rabbi Shimmy Hershkovitz won’t be able to receive a bracha from his father…
Just under two weeks ago, Shimmy passed away after a valiant battle with cancer, leaving behind a young wife and a one-year-old toddler.
This year, Shimmy won’t be giving his son birchas habonim under his tallis, but he will surely be blessing him from on high…

Please remember Shimi. Don’t leave them alone!
They need us to be their support!
