A 20-year-old Jewish man is scheduled to be executed by Iranian authorities on Saturday, according to Iranian media reports.
The young man has been sentenced to death following his involvement in a fatal altercation with a local non-Jewish Iranian.
According to the reports, the man was arrested by local police after the fight, during which the non-Jewish Iranian was killed.
Despite attempts by the man’s family to resolve the situation under Iranian law—which allows the family of the victim to accept compensation and spare the accused from execution—the family of the deceased has refused to accept any payment and is insisting on the death penalty.
Efforts by lawyers and officials within the Iranian-Jewish community in the United States to persuade the victim’s family to accept the compensation have so far been unsuccessful.

The Jewish man’s family has appealed to the public for prayers, asking for support and intervention to save the man’s life.

Messages on social media have been circulating asking for prayers for the man to be spared:
A young boy in Iran needs our tefilot for salvation and yeshua.
His execution is scheduled for Shabbat morning. Please include him in your prayers, hoping he may be forgiven.

Good that it is posted here so more can pray for him.
Iranian Jews have one of the most cultured Jewish communities in existence. My heart goes out to those who still toil under that monstrous regime. The Iranian Jews I know here, are among the kindest and most wonderful human beings I have ever met, and I only assume that the same extends to our Jewish brothers and sisters in that country. Nathaniel Ben Tziona, you are not alone.
As I know this picture is not his Picture, and I think the right name is
Ervin Nethanel ben Sonia
I believe , The correct name of the mother is Sonia.
Is Aleph possibly able to help?
Can the Mossad arrange an operation to rescue this young Jewish boy?
Can’t the chief rabbi and head of the Jewish community in Iran,
rabbi Yehuda gerami,
do something about it ???
He was spotted in 770 on this past Monday night,
ה’ אייר,
may 13th,
davening mariv.
The rabbi himself lives in pure mesiras nefesh. His hands are tied ! Even more so from political climate now .
Did it occur to you that he might be here trying to help?
In general a Rabbi can’t just override a court sentence, never mind in an antisemitic regime
I’m sure he tried..
This is a VERIFIED STORY! please have this man and his family in mind when lighting candles. The community is suffering!
ARVIN NETANEL BEN SONIA.
So I’ve seen it in another post and so it looks like in the sign of the above picture in this article.
Maybe to be safe, have in mind both name versions when Davening.
May Hashem save him and may he protect every single Jew from harm!
There is a young Jewish man in Iran that is r”l sentenced to death this Shabbos.

Sounds like he killed someone, what’s anyone supposed to do about that?
It was self defense and this is not the usual punishment
The boy’s name is Arvin (pronounced Arveen) Netanel ben Sonia—this is confirmed by his mother
I am prayin and wishing the best
I heard that the court delayed it till Monday
This is horrible. Davening!
The name for Tehillim is
Arvin Netanel ben Siona
A post has been circulating to recite chapter 13 in Tehillim, 13 Times.
Please daven and keep this young man in mind, give Tzedaka and do acts of kindness in his Zechus to be spared and set free.
Only Israel can, with H-shed’s help, do this.
Hashem can send his salvation through anyone or anything he wishes
ALL of this is due to the current administration’s showing the world that they are against Israel. That they are sending trillions to her enemies, including this one, while withholding from Israel to punish her for defending herself. That they have let this country be overrun by an ideology that wants to destroy Israel.
It’s:
Arveen Netanel ben Siona
I read it was postponed until Monday
To say kapittel 13, 13 times for this man. May he have a big yeshua on (or before) נצח שבנצח.
Update! I was told the correct name is
Arvin Netanel ben Sonia
Arvin is his Iranian name and the name he is called so they want to pray with both names.
And the Mom’s name is Sonia. I am trying to confirm with s/o that knows them first hand. I was told Sonia not Tziona.
Please let’s storm the Heavens
. . . before reciting Tehillim for Arvin Netanel ben Tziona, as soon as possible. By the time we light on the West Coast, it already will be morning in Iran.
Are the Jews trapped in Iran or are they free to leave?
. . .is 1.5 hours ahead of Eretz Yisroel.
What is his mother’s name?
Tziona or Sonia?
Important to pray with the correct name!
Thanks!
Please only respond with the correct name if you are sure of it!
Arvin Netanel ben Sonia Tziyona.
Please verify precise name and mother’s name.
According to picture & some WhatsApp posts 2 first names…?
Also, mother’s name: Tsiyona OR Sonia?
Please save him
He was just trying to defend himself, save his life please we beg
Arvin Netanel ben Sonia
I understand he killed someone. We have to find out why. Maybe he was defending his family or himself. How is that we do not know why? He should be in trial. And go to jail in the meantime. Why you are giving it to the news, sooo late? There are many Jews in Iran?
He was in prison for 2 years. He was defending himself, but just remember that there is antisemitism. He was scheduled to die tomorrow, but I believe that it was postponed until Monday.
Please say Tehillim 13 thirteen times.
Yeah there are many Jews in Iran. There once were many many more, before the Islamic revolution, and they have long been severely persecuted. It is one of the oldest Jewish communities anywhere in the world. As for the specifics of the case, others have mentioned it but the individual facing execution was engaged in self-defense. An additional fact if I am not mistaken: it a Muslim in Iran murders a non-Muslim, he is automatically ineligible for execution. Jews and others, are automatically second-class citizens. But there is the provision that the family of a victim may spare the condemned… Read more »
He was attacked by 7 people. One who owed him money and he fought back
Please whoever can, try to save him. Until we know exactly why did he do this. Save his soul. Please Gd do not let him die.
Hashem will rescue this boy he will not be killed he will be saved and return to his family בעזרת השם
AEB
In this case?
