R’ Eli Baitelman, 40, OBM

R’ Eli Baitelman, a young husband and father from Los Angeles, CA, passed away on Motzei Shabbos, 15 Iyar, 5783.

He was 40 and suffered a sudden heart attack.

Eli served for many years as a dedicated Shliach of the Rebbe in Pacific Palisades, California, and had a tremendous impact on the lives of hundreds of students, youth, campers, and their families.

Using his talents in his recent endeavors as a businessman, he proudly and joyously focused his interactions to further his Shlichus life, as he helped, inspectors, tradesmen and associates connect with their true heritage, especially through Mivtza Tefilin.

He was a loving husband and father, dedicated son, and a “go to” man for his family, friends, fellow Shluchim and Balei Battim. He will be remembered for his big heart and his unassuming acts of kindness.
