Melamed who forgot child in vehicle will call his son by his name? • Grandfather: a mistake

Exactly 12 months after the child Chaim Hanoch Henich Boimel z"l was forgotten in Nachman Stitzer's car and died – he had a son • Grandfather Yisroel Lichter was Sandak • why does he have reservations about giving the newborn the name of his late grandson?

Finally, a simcha at family Stitzer: A new son joined the family last Friday night.

The father, Nachman Stitzer from Modiin Illit, made headlines just a year ago, when he drove the four year old child Chaim Hanoch Henich Boimel z"l - and forgot him in his car by mistake. The hild died as a result of the intense heat in the car, and R' Nachman himself found him, to his horror, only a few hours later, when he returned from work as a Melamed - lifeless.

Just twelve months after the disaster that occurred, the Melamed had a son. About the warm embrace which Stitzer received from the toddler's grandfather, Rabbi Yisrael Lichter, much has been written. Now it's time to reciprocate: R' Nachman phoned Rabbi Lichter immediately after the birth of his son , informing him that he honors him with Sandeka'ut at his son's Bris.

Rabbi Lichter tells Behadrey Haredim that after learning about the kibud, all channels approached him to get his reaction. "I'm glad with the simcha of R' Nachman. It's important that his life will go on smoothly and the birth of a new baby certainly will contribute to this with G-d's help."

The grandfather also heard of the intentions of the father, R' Nachman, to give the newborn the name of Chaim Chanoch Henich, named after his grandson - but he disapproves: "First, the child does not have a tikun neshama. He was tender and did not sin. Besides that, it is well known, it is customary not to name after one who died in his youth."

• But you can add a name, as is customary.

"I'm not a rabbi or Posek. One needs to consult one of these on the matter. I'll talk to him and I will clarify that I think it's wrong. He can choose any name he wants. The feeling is that it will atone for what happened – is unnecessary. I want him to have nachas and return to normal, with no hard feelings".
