With great sadness, shock and pain we inform you of the sudden and untimely passing of Shua Polonsky, ob”m, יהושע רפאל בן הרשל לייב הלוי, a 31 year old beloved husband and father to two young girls, after a sudden brief illness, during which Klal Yisrael of all stripes came together to pray for his recovery.

Shua was the husband of Simi Polonsky, father of Emanuella and Sophia, son of Leonardo and Yocheved Polonsky, grandson of Mel and Marcia Waxman, nephew and cousin of the Larry Waxman family, and friend of all.

Over the past several weeks since he fell ill, Shua fought bravely while his doctors struggled to save his life. Unfortunately, their tireless efforts did not bear fruit, and Shua returned his soul to his maker this afternoon, Thursday, the 20th of Cheshvan.

Levaya information will be posted when available.

From a Hebrew Academy communication:

With a profound sense of loss we are saddened to inform our faculty, alumni and friends of the passing of veteran Academy Rosh Mesivta, Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Baron zt”l in Yerushalayim this morning. A talmid chacham of note, Rabbi Baron had the unique ability to connect with his talmidim and make a profound impact upon their lives. Rabbi Baron was a beloved Rebbi to scores of alumni who will forever remember him.

The levaya will take place today at 6:30 p.m at Beit HaLevayot Shamgar and the kevura will be on Har HaMenuchot. We have been told that there is a call in number after 11:30 a.m. Cleveland time: 513-386-00000. Access code is 2171. Shiva will be observed at the Baron home at Rechov Menachem Meishiv 3 in Yerushalayim.

Our heartfelt condolences to Rabbi Baron’s sons, Rabbi Moshe Baron and Rabbi Shmuel Baron and their families. May we share only  simchos in the future.
