Last Monday, 23 Elul — the 14th anniversary of 9/11/01 on the Jewish calendar — a family of six returning from the Catskills was involved in a horrific car accident on Rt. 17, leaving the parents and future son-in-law dead

Among the fatalities was Morris Faitelewicz, z”l, a longtime Hatzalah member from the Lower East Side who was an EMS commanding officer at the WTC on 9/11. His wife Beth, a”h, and Yehuda Bayme, z”l, of Riverdale, also perished.
