With great sadness we inform you of the passing of Shmuel Hershel Weinberger, a nine year old boy struck by a car in Chicago late yesterday afternoon.
He was the son of R' Shamai and Sara Leah Weinberger, members of the Anash community in West Rogers Park in Chicago.
Shmuel was a student in Chicago's Lubavitcher Cheder, much beloved by fellow students and teachers.
Hatzalah rushed to the scene at N. Sacramento Ave. and W. Chase Ave. around 8:00 PM yesterday after the victim was hit while riding his bike. They sped towards the hospital, but were not able to save him.
The incident is currently under investigation.
The levaya will be today at 3:30 PM (Central Time) at Waldheim Cemetery (1400 Des Plaines Ave, Forest Park, IL 60130, Gate 5).
He is survived by his twin brother Mendel, as well as brothers Dovid Moshe and Avremel, parents and grandparents.
"Hershel was a zeeskeit and had a tremendous simchas hachaim. He was very musical and loved singing. He was extremely beloved by his classmates," his teacher, Rabbi Mendel Moscowitz said. "Just the sparkle in his eyes when he would come to Cheder in the morning will always remain etched in my memory."
"The Weinberger home is always open for shiurim and chessed," Rabbi Boruch Hertz, Rov of the Chicago Chabad community, told Anash.org. "It's an enormous tragedy, beyond words."
