An elderly Jewish man was critically injured in a car accident on Sunday night in Crown Heights. He was identified as Yosef Silverstein, age 91.
Silverstein was hit on the corner of Schenectady and Empire Boulevard and was taken in critical condition to Kings County Hospital Center.
Silverstein has been a resident of the neighborhood for many years and has family living in Manhattan.
The hospital’s chaplain Rabbi Avrohom Leider asked the public to pray on his behalf for a speedy and full recovery. The name to have in mind is Yosef ben Sarah Gitta.
MOSHIACH NOW!
I don’t know what happened in this case, but it’s getting ridiculous. There has to be stricter oversight and stiffer penalties for drivers who turn corners without regard for pedestrians. Enough!
BS”D
Amen to # 1
Complete immediate recovery!
