Amir Ohana, z”l, to Be Flown From Uman to Israel for Burial
Hundreds of people attended the levayah on Sunday of Amir Ohana, z”l, the Israeli who was missing in Uman during Rosh Hashanah and was found on Shabbos drowned in a nearby lake. The levayah took place outside the kever of Harav Nachman of Breslov.
He was a “regular” in Uman, traveling for several years on Rosh Hashanah and on other occasions.
Ohana’s body was found by ZAKA volunteers.
“Ohana, z”l, was found wearing his Shabbos clothes, without shoes or socks. It would appear that he had fallen into the river, after sitting on the river banks,” read a ZAKA statement. Officials said that Ohana apparently experienced an epileptic seizure while sitting by the water, as a result of which he fell in and drowned.
Ohana’s body was to be flown to Israel late Sunday, for burial in his hometown of Bat Yam on Monday.
Ohana leaves behind, ybl”c, a wife and three young daughters.
