8 months after the Meron disaster: The widow of the late Rabbi Elazar Mordechai Goldberg gave birth to a son

December 27, 2021   

Mrs. Racheli Goldberg, widow of Rabbi Elazar Mordechai Goldberg, who perished in the disaster in Meron on Lag BaOmer, gave birth at a good and successful time, about eight months after the disaster that shocked the Jewish world - in which 45 Jews perished. Rabbi Elazar Mordechai Goldberg, 37, was a follower of the Rebbe of Shidlovtsa. He served as an educator at the Talmud Torah 'Ateret Eliyahu' in Beitar and as a sofer sat'm in the city of Beitar Illit and was a respected figure in the city. He was born to his father, Rabbi Shmuel Goldberg-Ydler. He received his Torah training at the 'Nazar HaTorah' yeshiva in Jerusalem. When he reached his peak, he married the daughter of Rabbi Shmuel Yehoshua Lemberger, an Ashlag Hasidic. The son who was born joins his four older brothers - who were privileged to know their father. A few days after the disaster, a display prepared by his son Ari shook many, when, using a 'Playmobil' game, he created a bed with a figure wrapped in a tallit on it, and said: 'Father is lying on the bed.'.
