"Pray for me and my bride" - wrote the late Nachman Glauber

A letter from Nachman Glauber z"l, which he wrote to his parents on his wedding day a year ago – became the last souvenir of his family and friends his week with the death along with his wife Raizy z"l.

B'Chadrei Chareidm received contents of the letter, loosely translated from Yiddish to Hebrew:
To my dear parents:

In these imminent joyous and highly spiritual moments of my life, when I’m heading to my chupa to begin my own family, I feel a sting in my heart that I’m already leaving your warm home.

I feel an obligation to thank you for everything you did for me since I was a small child. You did not spare time, energy and money, whether it was when I needed a private tutor to learn or an eye doctor or general encouragement.

Also, later on, you helped me to succeed in my Torah studies, you sent me to yeshiva to learn your values, religious and worldly, until I reached to this current lucky moment.

Even though I’m leaving your home (actually I’m not leaving, I’m bringing in an additional family member) I want to tell you that all the education and values you taught me I’ll — with God’s help — take along with me in my new home, and continue to plant the same education in my home and kids that God will grant me.

But since kids do not grasp what parents are, and how much they do for them, and only when he matures and — with God’s help — have their own kids, they could realize it. And unfortunately I may have caused you a lot of pain; I am asking you to please forgive me.

I’m asking you, I’m dependent on your prayers, pray for me and my bride, and I will pray for you.

I pray to God that Daddy and Mommy should see lots of pride and delight from me and my special bride, until the final redemption of Mashiach.

From your son who admires and thanks you and will always love you. Nachman.

Hit and run in Williamsburg

The accidents occurred last Motzei Shabbos, around midnight (IST New - York), while the couple took a cab in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on their way to the hospital – to give birth to their first son. On the corner of Wilson the taxi driver who apparently did not stop at the stop sign, hit a BMW car.

As a result of the hit the car flew and crashed into a truck parked on the street.

Raizy, was killed on the spot. Nachman was taken to a hospital in Manhattan, where he died of his wounds a few minutes later. The infant delivered after his mother died survived 24 hours - and died of his wounds.

Yesterday (Wednesday), Julio Acevedo, 44, of Brooklyn, who was the offending driver, was arrested.
