This Was His Last Social Media Post: Chabad Man Falls to Death at Jerusalem Rally

A 20-year-old man, Menachem Mendel (Mendy) Litzman, tragically died during the “Million Man” rally in Jerusalem. Emergency services report that Litzman fell to his death from approximately the ninth floor of a construction site on Shazar Boulevard.

Authorities have confirmed that this was not an accident, as Litzman left a farewell note on his Instagram account addressed to friends, writing: “To all my dear and true friends, I love you, I ask forgiveness, I can no longer cope, I say goodbye with tears in my eyes and we will meet together with the Mashiach.”

The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with rescue teams responding immediately, but sadly, Litzman was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was the son of the Chabad Shaliach in South Korea.

Haredi commentator Nati Miller called for introspection following the death of Menachem Mendel Litzman at the Jerusalem rally, urging the community not to remain silent.

“In the Haredi public, people may avoid saying someone ‘took his own life,’ but we must not stay quiet,” Miller said. “His friends wrote that he died because of social ostracism. There’s a reason he chose to do it during the rally, he wanted everyone to know what he went through. It was his way of awakening us, to notice others, to teach our children to always treat people with respect, even when opinions differ.”
