Just a few weeks ago he was standing smiling under his son’s Chupah… But in the midst of the Sheva Brachot a horrific accident interrupted the joy..
Two weeks ago.. they still fought for his life, did everything possible.. paid everything that was needed to treat him in Germany.. to fly to Israel in the hope of saving him..
Last week our hearts were broken.. Rabbi Sholi Lapidus passed away.
The great joy turned into mourning.. and the Lapidus family lost not only their beloved father but the breadwinner at home.
A widow and 9 children were left without a source of income.. the apartment they live in is not even theirs and it’s rented.. the food, the clothing, the school fees of the children.. all these the beloved father is no longer here to give and finance..
We must help them exist and survive despite the difficulty!!!
We call on you from the bottom of our hearts to open your hearts and pockets and save the Lapidus family, and those who can take a regular donation for the next 3 years so they can stand on their feet.
A tragedy beyond words. I knew him for close to 35 years, a heart of gold, always had the right words to tell you. I can write on and on, BUT NOW WHATS MORE IMPORTANT IS TO HELP THE FAMILY.OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND DIG DEEP INTO YOUR POCKETS SOTHE FAMILY CAN GO ON IN A HONORABLE WAY.
We once stayed at their home in Israel. Sholi and Rivky welcomed us so warmly with a smile and made us feel so welcome. Their Hachnasos orchim is an inspiration for us to this very day. We try to treat our guests the same way they treated us.
Please help the family during this difficult time!
Ever since I knew him, I’ve always seen him with a sincere, warm smile ready to go out of his way to do you a favor. His home was an open home where everyone felt loved and welcomed. I can’t believe this tragedy happened. We will miss him deeply. Let’s go out of our way and donate generously to his wife and kids for whom life will never be the same…
