Tragedy between the ages: The important young man Shimon Meir Darshan, late of Bnei Brak, a student of the ‘Knesset Yitzchak’ yeshiva in Modi’in Illit, who drowned two weeks ago at the ultra-Orthodox beach in Netanya, has passed away. He was only 19 years old.

The MDA and Rescue Union teams performed advanced resuscitation operations on him and in the end he was taken in a critical condition to Laniado Hospital in Kiryat Sanz in the city. Many prayed and tore open the gates of heaven for the healing of Shimon Meir ben Adina Hadova, for two weeks he was sedated and ventilated in a very difficult condition and tonight he returned his soul to its creator.
