Mr. Serge (Shlomo) Anidjar, 40, was a resident of Boulogne-Billancourt, France. He was on his way back home after spending three days in Brazil on a business trip.
Mr. Anidjar, an active member in the Jewish community, has a wife and 3 children, the oldest only 12. They attend local Jewish schools.
“The family is devastated,” Rabbi Michael Sojcher told VIN News, adding that “Shlomo was a good man, and I know him very well. This is a very hard time for us.”
VIN News confirmed that Mr. Anidjar is Director of Finance and Administration of Keyrus a Global French software company.
VIN News has also learned that another French Jewish individual is said to have been on the flight and appears to be missing, and that the Paris Jewish community is tracking down his family.
Hashem yerachem please keep us uptodate and lets all be mispallel that they find him !
What do you mean he’s Missing???? He’s dead Rchm”l!!! Stop with the stupid false hope!! All we can do now is be Mispallel that the body should be found #1 so it can come to Kever Yisruel #2 That his Almuneh should be able to remarry! ……………
This year chabad got such a klap… please not again.
May h’ have rachmuses.
There are over 200 dead PEOPLE on this plane and we are debating halacha concerning the remarriage of the widow of the one yiddeshe neshama. How much more parochial can we get….hashem yerachem on all the familieis of ALL the victims, whether or not they were yidden. Also, hashem should open the eyes and hearts of the readers here on VIN to be empathic to the suffering of all his creations.
i heard the two american on board names where michael and ann harris. sounds jewish WHERE THEY CAN YOU CONFORM?
Wake up people.
There are people in mourning and pain for all the 228 people on board.
please! people have some rachmanus!!
who knows what his last minutes were like- the terror, the fear. thoughts of his wife and 3 children,….
3 yesomim, an almanah, his parents and siblings….
how can someone say something so mean? (about sharks)
we should never know of such tzaros or any tzaros!!
this story is just so sad, and many comments here are sad too.
To #10 Mr. Anonymous:
Shalom aleichem . . . I mean . . . How do you do?
It’s been a while since I’ve read a statement from you admonishing the Yidden for caring too much about themselves.
How’s your shiksa?
Hashem yirachaym
Is this even an agunah shayla? Atlantic is a yam she’ein lo sof…
aguna problems can arise in such cases as there is a remote chance that he did not board the plane and then could use this story as cover to disappear .. Halacha needs concrete proof.
But the airport in brazil should have records of all the boarding passes scanned at boarding time. This may help.
Why is everyone arguing, this is the exact cause of all our tzaros-Machlokes. We should all work on ourselves and daven that Hashem should have rachmonous on the family of all the victims and let our rabbonim be the one to poskin shaylos.
Boruch Dayan Emes.
May his family and ALL the families of this horrible tragedy be comforted.
