The son of Pizza Uri: said the beracha 'shehakol' at a wedding and collapsed

Baruch Dayan truth: Yesterday (Tuesday), the avrech Rabbi Yisrael Leib Uri z"l passed away at the age of 36, , after suffering a cardiac arrest while at a wedding of his neice at the Armonot Wolf hall in Jerusalem - and collapsed in front of his children.


Rescue forces that arrived at the hall performed resuscitation, and continued while evacuating to Shaarei Tzedek Hospital, where he returned his soul to its creator.


The deceased was born in Jerusalem on 5th Av תשל"ו to his father Rabbi Yaakov Uri Shiblht"a from Pizza Uri, the famous Jerusalem pizza store, and his mother, Mrs. Malka. He was named after the Premishlan Rebbe zt"l from London.


As a child he grew up in the home of his uncle Rabbi Yisrael Mordechai of Rachmastrivke, who brought him up like his own child.

He married his wife Ruchama, daughter of Rabbi Moshe Uri Blau z"l.


He suffered anguish and bitter agony all his life, and every few months had to fly to the U.S. for treatment.


His children said that even in the middle of the wedding feast, he made the blessing of 'shehakol' on water - and suddenly collapsed.


He is survived by his wife, sons: Yochanan, Chaim Meir David, and Reuven, who are not yet married.

The funeral left the Shamgar Funeral Home in Jerusalem last night after midnight, where his father eulogized him. The funeral procession passed through the Rachmastrivke Beit Midrash in Gush 80, where the Rachmastrivke Rebbe eulogized him - and from there to Har Hamenuchos, where he was laid to rest.
