Watch: ZAKA Covid-19 Victim R' Refael Sheinfeld's 12 Children Part From Him In Song

R’ Refael Sheinfeld, a 59-year-old ZAKA volunteer in Tel Aviv and member of Chevra Kadisha Bnei Brak, passed away on Shabbat after contracting the coronavirus a month ago. Sheinfeld had been in serious condition in Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv and had been placed on a special Ecmo machine which replaces the activity of the heart and lungs, but he passed away from the virus despite having no previous conditions.


Sheinfeld was well-known in Bnei Brak as a paragon of loving kindness and helping his fellow men. He ran a Gmach (free loan organization) called Achim Letzarah for all people who had to sit Shiva and provided them with all of the necessary requirements including chairs and Aron Kodesh, Siddurim and other items, and would bring the items for free and take them back after the Shiva.
