Rabbi Chaim Aharon Turchin, the dean of the Ohr Yitzhak yeshiva in Bnei Brak, passed away early Tuesday morning after becoming infected with the coronavirus, becoming the 180th coronavirus-related fatality in Israel.

After becoming infected with the virus, Rabbi Turchin’s condition deteriorated last week, and he was placed on assisted breathing. He had no known preexisting medical conditions.

Hospital officials at Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv said doctors were unable to stabilize Rabbi Turchin’s condition, and early Tuesday morning he passed away as a result of the infection.

The 48-year-old rabbi is survived by his 14 children, five of whom are married. He is expected to be laid to rest in Bnei Brak Tuesday afternoon.

Mishpacha announced this morning that they're working on something too:

THE BEST IMPERFECT OPTION

By Shoshana Friedman | APRIL 22, 2020

How can we possibly mark, in a respectful and personal way, the passing of so many corona victims?
 
Where do you even begin? When faced with tragedy of such immense dimensions — infinitely larger and weightier than a print magazine — how do you respond?

If you’re like me your first response would be: You don’t. Just give up. You will never be able to scale such staggering tragedy.

How can we possibly mark, in a respectful and personal way, the passing of so many corona victims? How can we capture the humanity, the individual contributions, of so many people?

Print media is finite. There are only so many words that fit on a page. Only so many pages in a magazine. Only so many writers, so many hours. (And only so much dark news that our readers can digest over a single Shabbos.)

But the names of the victims — each one a world — just keep coming.

During an ordinary time, so many of those names would make their way onto a magazine cover. We’d devote full-length features to these people who marked our world with their talents, their efforts, their smiles or kindness or prayers. But this isn’t an ordinary time. As much as we wish and want and aim to pay proper tribute to the victims, there’s no feasible way to give them adequate respect within this limited media form.

What to do? How to proceed? We dare not ignore so many tragedies. And we don’t want to make the macabre selection of who does or doesn’t “deserve” a tribute.

When we first raised these questions, we also raised the tantalizing option that this Yom Tov we’d finally see the true liberation, erasing all sorrow and all wretched editorial dilemmas. So we shut off our computers and closed our screens for those first few blessed days of Yom Tov, locking the world of newsflashes and updates and warnings out of our locked-down homes.

Then, over Chol Hamoed, with the redemption still not arrived but another horrific list of losses pouring in, our editorial and management departments started a conversation. We began listing, then debating, all the imperfect options — and weighing the logistics that came along with each one.

Here’s the imperfection option we embraced: We’ve built a channel on our website, “Every Soul a World,” where we will be posting individual tributes to each victim, written by our staff in collaboration with the bereaved families. We hope to build a collection of pieces that captures the humanity, the individuality, and the contributions of each precious soul snatched away by this terrible virus — a collection highlighting what we as a nation have lost.

Pdfs of each piece will be made available for those who wish to download and print them. Families, friends, or relatives who can help provide information and memories are invited to e-mail tributes@mishpacha.com; we will then get in touch with you to prepare a piece to be included in this project.

We know it’s not enough, but in this surreal era where all our givens and must-haves and it-isn’t-the-real-thing-unless have suddenly been ripped to shreds, we hope this approach can pave a path forward. A path paved with humility and acceptance that we’re not plotting the scenes, writing the script, or building the set — but doing our best to play the roles we’ve been given and to see the beauty and greatness of all those who’ve ascended to a Higher view.

Submit stories and tributes to tributes@mishpacha.com

מיכאל סעדיה ב״ר משה ז״ל😢

I just heard today that he might have passed away from something else. Though his care (or lack thereof) might have been affected by COVID-19.

How many others died indirectly from COVID-19?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I heard from friends in hhc and those who own / manage nursing homes that it's very hard to get workers.

Also many in hhc don't want healthcare providers coming in.

unfortunately we have a situation where you have a real risk of people getting infected and in real risk of people who are not getting the proper health that they need maybe also causing themselves issues.

But we have some chacham here on DDF tell us it's just like the flu..🤮🙄

If you're willing to pay the agencies special 'Covid pricing' of 3x, you can get staffing without issue...

they are already doing that RNs were offered $125/hr in certain places + OT. There is still a shortage.
However this isn't the thread for this let's try to keep this on topic.

The founder and chairman of the Gift of Life (Matnat Chaim) NGO, Rabbi Yeshayahu Heber, passed away on Thursday evening at the age of 55 after contracting the coronavirus.

He is survived by his parents, wife, two children and grandchildren.

Rabbi Heber was admitted to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem early last week with difficulty breathing on his own and constantly being in need of oxygen support. After his condition deteriorated and he experienced further difficulty in breathing, he was connected to a ventilator.

"The ICU and nephrology specialists who monitored his condition as a person who underwent a kidney transplant, treated him day and night," the Hadassah Hospital said in a statement on Thursday evening. "The hospital's management was in contact with his family and was constantly updating it as the disease progressed. Unfortunately, the condition of the rabbi was serious and the coronavirus disease and its complications overwhelmed him. The ICU's doctors had to pronounce him dead after prolonged CPR efforts.”

Matnat Chaim is an organization dedicated to encouraging healthy volunteers donate kidneys to patients who require a transplant.

Some 800 kidney donations were made thanks to the activities of Rabbi Heber, who himself underwent a kidney transplant.

Rabbi Heber was born in Tel Aviv and studied at the Ponivez Yeshiva. In 2009 he founded the Gift of Life Association after he had to undergo a kidney transplant. In 2014, Rabbi Heber was awarded the "Volunteering Award of the President of Israel" for his activities promoting and actively seeking living kidney donors. In March of 2016 he received an award from the Minister of Health over his volunteering activities.

Not COVID related but terrible loss. An Askan of the first rate.
