BDE: Yeshiva Bochur Moshe Ludmir Z”L Swept Away In Stream In Modi’in Illit

Jan 16, 2026·1 min read

After days of searching, tefillos, and hope for a neis, the body of the yeshiva bochur, Moshe Ludmir, z’l, 16, was found on Friday, three days after he was swept into a stream during a storm on Tuesday near his yeshivah in Modiin Illit.

The niftar, z’l, was born to his father, Reb Tzvi Hirsch Ludmir, a chashuve member of the Boyaner community in Beitar Illit.

His friends describe him as a masmid with much yiras Shamayim. He had a close relationship with the Boyaner Rebbe.

His father, who was with a family member abroad for medical care, rushed back to Israel when his son disappeared. Meanwhile, the chasunah of his daughter (the niftar’s sister) is in another week.
