Yaakov Meir Eisenbach, 24, AH

Yaakov Meir Eisenbach, a young Lubavitcher bochur from Yerushalayim, passed away following a tragic accident on Shabbos, 8 Tishrei.

He was 24 years old.

He was the son of R’ Tzvi Akiva and Mrs. Leah Eisenbach of the Chabad community in Ramot, Yerushalayim.

While preparing to leave his home for Mincha, after completing his regular shiurim, Yaakov Meir fell on the stairs and suffered a serious head injury. Emergency responders attempted to revive him, but he was niftar.

Yaakov Meir was known among his friends for his yiras Shamayim, refined midos and chassidishe conduct. They noted the particular care he took not to speak while wearing tefillin.

Following his year of kevutza, he went on shlichus to the Chabad yeshiva in Istra, near Moscow, where he was especially beloved by the temimim. More recently, he served as a mashgiach at the Chabad yeshiva in Tzfas.

The levaya took place on Motzei Shabbos, followed by kevura at Har Hamenuchos in Yerushalayim.
