Baruch Dayan, the truth teller: This evening (Thursday), the late Rabbi Reuven Nathan Neta Belei, the trustee of the house of the Rebbe of Kretshnif Kiryat Gat, passed away at the age of 51 at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem - after a serious illness and severe suffering.

38 years ago, he came to study at the Rebbe's yeshiva in Kiryat Gat, and since then he has gained a special closeness with his rabbi, whom he served devotedly for 30 years.

His acquaintances say that he always opened his door to guests, both during his time living in the US as a businessman, and during the years when he was confined to a wheelchair and speaking was difficult for him.

In recent days, he suffered from pneumonia that became complicated and was hospitalized, where doctors fought for his life, but to the dismay of his family and acquaintances, he passed away.

He left behind four children, one of whom did not get to see the wedding.
