Menachem Mendel Krafchik, son of Shluchim in Leeds, UK, passed away on Motzei Shabbos, 5 Adar, 5780.
He was 23.
Mendel was in a car accident in Pennsylvania and tragically passed away from his injuries.
He sadly lost his father as a young child.
Mendel learned in the JETS school in Los Angeles and the “RAP” Yeshiva in Jerusalem, following which he served in the Givati Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Most recently, he lived in New York.
Mendel was a very kind-hearted boy who was admired and loved by his friends, family and community. He will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his mother, Sorah, and siblings.
The levaya will take place in London.
A fund has been set up to help the family during this difficult time. Click here to help now.
