Description

Recorded and Posted by http://www.TorahAnytime.com Rabbi Winiarz of Willowbrook was killed Sunday morning (1-18-2015) when the driver of the Honda CR-V he was a passenger in lost control of the vehicle on an icy road on Route 23 in Harford, MD. The Honda crossed the center line, striking a Honda Pilot traveling the opposite direction. He was on his way to the Jewish Outreach Professionals convention in Baltimore. The levaya, or Jewish funeral, drew upward of 400 people on Monday. Much of the service was conducted in Hebrew. So many were in attendance that officials lined up speakers outside the funeral home and people congregated to the sidewalk. "For our community this has been a thunderbolt," said his son, Siah, one of several speakers. "He had such a presence. He came into a room and filled it with his infectious smile."
