The Monsey community mourns the passing of Mr. David Lapidot, a beloved Holocaust survivor who resided here for many years. He was 91 years of age.

Despite everything he had endured in his life, Mr. Lapidot was always smiling and was known as a generous person.

Since the niftar left behind no family, the community was asked to attend his levaya, which took place graveside at the Brick Church Cemetery at 10:30 this morning. This was a true case of "meis mitzvah," and attending the levaya was surely a great zechus for everyone who came.

With the passing of Reb Dovid, we have lost another link to a world gone by. He will be fondly remembered by all those who knew and admired him.
