BDE: Reb Yoel Dana, z"l

YS GOLD 

We regret to inform you of the passing of Reb Yoel Dana, a resident of Williamsburg known for his yiras shomayim and ehrlichkeit. He was 39 years of age, and suffered terribly with a dreaded disease. 

The niftar was a sofer stam who wrote tefillin and other stam products. He was greatly admired for his deep yiras Shomayim. 

For the last six years, he struggled mightily against a dreaded disease, ultimately succumbing to its ravages. 

His eldest child became engaged just a week ago at his bedside in the hospital, and he leaves behind a wife and five children. 

A true talmid chochom, he recently published an incredible sefer on inyanei tefillin. 

The levaya will take place 3:30 this afternoon at Beis HaMedrash Buenos Aires, 74 Heyward Street, and kevurah will be in Kiryas Yoel. 

Yehi zichro baruch.
