Woman Whose Infant Son Was Killed In Car Accident Passes Away, Leaving 5 Orphans

May 23, 2026·2 min read

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — BDE: Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center announced the passing, on the holiday of Shavuot, of Mrs. Ayala Davidson of blessed memory from Bnei Brak, a young woman injured in a horrific car accident on Israel’s Highway 1 a week before Shavuot. She was 33 years old.

As previously reported, Mrs. Davidson was severely injured together with her husband in the car accident. Their infant son, Avinoam Meir Davidson of blessed memory, who was only one month old, was killed in the crash and was buried in Elad.

The levaya is scheduled for tonight, Saturday night following Shavuot, at 11:30 p.m., departing from her parents’ home, the Seller family residence on Harav Kook Street 22 in Bnei Brak, and proceeding to the cemetery in Elad, where she will be laid to rest.

Ayala was born in Bnei Brak in Tevet 5793 to her father Rabbi Aharon Seller, head of a kollel at the Midrash Eliyahu Torah center in Elad, and her mother Shulamit Rosa. She was also the granddaughter of Rabbi Yitzhak Halberstadt of blessed memory, rabbi of the Ahavat Chesed Beis Midrash near the Ponevezh Yeshiva campus.

In her youth she studied at the Rabbi Wolf Seminary in Bnei Brak. She married Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Davidson, an esteemed Torah scholar, student of Tifrach Yeshiva, and a respected member of the Ohel Avraham community in Bnei Brak, where the couple lived nearby.

She devoted herself to supporting her husband so he could continue immersing himself in Torah study. Tragically, while traveling to Jerusalem after the birth of their sixth child, their infant son Avinoam Meir died in the accident, and a week later his mother also passed away.

She is survived by her five living children.

Meanwhile, there has reportedly been improvement in the condition of the father, Shlomo Zalman ben Galia Iga, who remains hospitalized in stable condition and has now been informed of the passing of his infant son and wife.

“May her soul be bound in the bond of eternal life.”
