Rabbi Elazar Salem, an avreich in Modiin Illit, has died after years of illness at age 50, leaving a widow and eight children, the fundraising appeal reports. Local rabbi Yisrael Zikerman called on the public to support the family with basic living expenses.
Rabbi Elazar Salem, a Torah scholar and avreich in the Haredi community of Modiin Illit, died on Sunday after a prolonged illness at the age of 50. The fundraising appeal, published via a verified charity platform (Kupat Ha'Ir), states he leaves behind a widow and eight children who are reportedly left without means. Neighborhood rabbi Yisrael Zikerman has called on the public to assist with basic living expenses. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar fundraising campaigns for families left destitute after a parent's death — most recently for Rabbi Adiel Kinarti and Rabbi Netanel Vizel — each of which left a widow and eight or more children. As with those cases, this appeal is being distributed through community channels and charity platforms; the outcome of the campaign is not yet known.
