A terrible tragedy struck the frum kehila of Manchester on Monday evening, when a community member collapsed and was niftar while at Ben Gurion Airport, reported Arutz Sheva.

Moshe Litke, z”l, a man in his 50’s, was with his family, heading back to the U.K. after a week-long trip to Israel. As they were walking onto the passenger boarding bridge, or gangway, of a plane at Terminal 3 of Ben Gurion Airport,  he suddenly collapsed, apparently of a heart attack.
