The Kol Torah Yeshiva in Jerusalem has announced that one of its employees, Levi Yitzhak Pash, was killed in this morning's terror attack. The yeshiva said it was mourning the death of Pash, who was fatally shot at the scene.
Pash, a resident of Tel Zion, was a devoted father of three and a maintenance worker at Kol Torah Yeshiva in Jerusalem’s Beit Vagan neighborhood. Known for his kindness, charitable acts, and generosity, he spent every spare moment studying Torah.
Only last night, he attended a wedding in Beitar and participated in the Sheva Brachot. This morning, while on his way to the yeshiva in a carpool with another teacher, he selflessly gave up his seat to someone who needed it for a hospital appointment. Moments after exiting the vehicle, he was tragically killed.
A fund has been set up in memory of Rabbi Pash, to honor his memory and support his family.
According to the report, a number of other victims were also identified, including the head of a different yeshiva, whose name has not yet been released. A pregnant woman in her eighth month was also among those wounded.
Dr. Alon Schwartz, head of the trauma unit at Shaare Zedek Hospital, provided an update on the condition of the victims brought to the hospital. "One of the victims arrived with no signs of life, and we had to declare her death," Dr. Schwartz said. He added that two other victims are in critical but stable condition after undergoing surgery, while four are in moderate condition and will also require operations.
The hospital had prepared for a mass casualty event, clearing operating rooms and adding beds in the intensive care unit. Medical staff, social workers, and psychologists were all made available to support the victims and their families.
