Abraham Yonathan Scarcelli, a cherished member of the Jewish community in Brussels, passed away on Thursday, October 17th, coinciding with the first day of Sukkot. His passing has deeply affected those who knew him, especially the many lives he touched during his years of dedicated service at the Ganenou school.

Abraham Yonathan Scarcelli was known for his unwavering commitment to the well-being of the community, where he worked tirelessly with love and devotion. His final wish was to be buried in Israel, the land he held sacred. However, his family, some of whom reside in Antwerp, is struggling with the substantial financial burden of fulfilling this wish, which includes repatriation and burial costs, as well as expenses related to the shiva.

A fundraiser has been organized by Chana Areces Palencia on behalf of Abraham’s wife, Hanna Abergel, to assist the family during this difficult time. The outpouring of support from the community has already begun, with donations ranging from €25 to €300 being made by generous individuals, including members of the Palencia family, Simona Levinski, and others.

The community is asked to come together to help ensure Abraham Yonathan Scarcelli receives the honor of being laid to rest in Eretz Israel, as he desired. Any contribution, large or small, will greatly aid the family in fulfilling his final wish and honoring his memory.

We extend our heartfelt prayers to the family of Abraham Yonathan Scarcelli during this time of grief. May his soul find peace, and may the community continue to support the Scarcelli family in their time of need.
