by COLlive Editor · COLliveThe Hakamas Matzeiva – placing of the headstone – of Rabbi Eli Schlanger HYD, the Chabad Shliach in Bondi, Sydney, Australia, who was murdered in the Bondi terror attack on Chanukah will take place this evening.
Rabbi Schlanger was a beloved and energetic Shliach who took pride in his work with the 5,000-member-strong Russian-speaking Jewish community in the Sydney area, who fled from the former Soviet Union.
The beloved Shliach and assistant Rabbi to his father-in-law Rabbi Yehoram Ulman was buried in Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney after a gut-wrenching levaya last week, which took place in the new Chabad of Bondi building, a facility Rabbi Schlanger had dedicated his final year to helping establish.
He is survived by his wife Chayale (nee Ulman) and children, including a 2-month-old baby.
A fund has been set up in support of his family. Please donate to support his wife who is now left to raise 5 children alone.
