Do you remember your Rebbe from 1st grade?

Harav Naftoli Berenstein zl was the beloved Kitta Alef Rebbe of Talmud Torah Beis Eliyohu in Ramat Bet Shemesh Alef for the past 11 years.

Last Friday, at the young age of 47, he succumbed to covid-19, bereaving a widow and 10 orphans. Rebbe Naftoli zl was ill for only 3 weeks before his holy neshama went up to shamayim.

Always smiling and constantly encouraging, Rebbe Naftoli zl devoted his life to teaching our boys loveand appreciation forTorah and mitzvos.

R Naftolis demise was sudden and shocking. On the first school-day after his infection, he exerted himself to deliver one last lesson remotely. He managed a mere seven minutes before his energy was expended. Less than three weeks later, he was niftar. His family couldnt even go in to see him. Mrs Berenstein stood weeping outside the hospital with her 10 children.

With six children still unmarried,how will R Naftolis widow support her family? The financial burden is too great to bear.
