Refoel Ya'ir Lupoliansky, z"l

By Betzalel Kahn

Tragedy in Jerusalem: Refoel Ya'ir Lupoliansky z"l, passed away on his second birthday as a result of anesthetics administered during dental treatment.

The toddler, the son of Rabbi Yaakov Lupoliansky and the grandson of Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky, was taken by his mother to a dental clinic in Ramot for treatment. The dentist administered a sedative and began routine treatment. When the treatment ended the dentist noticed that the child was not responding.

Hatzoloh Yisroel volunteers arrived within minutes to take the child to Hadassah-Mt. Scopus Hospital. When his condition deteriorated the child was transferred to Hadassah Ein-Karem where he underwent preventative treatment. Throughout these procedures the family members remained at his bedside, arousing rachamei Shomayim for the child's recovery.

To the great sorrow of the family members and their friends, on Thursday morning the child returned his soul to his Maker. Refoel Ya'ir Lupoliansky z"l is survived by his parents, his little sister and his extended family, all shattered by the grim tragedy.

Many participants were on hand for the levaya that set out from Har Hamenuchos, including HaRav Shmuel Auerbach, rabbonim and public figures, relatives and friends. The child's father, Rabbi Yaakov Lupoliansky, said Tziduk Hadin as the large crowd shed bitter tears. The child's grandfather, Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky, recited Kaddish and then the child was brought to his place of eternal rest.
