Young Jewish Man Dies in Plane Accident
A young Jewish man from Brookfield, Wisconsin, tragically died following a plane crash on Thursday, May 26.
Daniel Andrew Perelman was 18, and a student at Northwestern University. He got his pilot license last fall.
Perelman took off in a Cessna 152 Thursday afternoon, did a pass at Timmerman Airport and then a touch-and-go-landing where he experienced engine problems, local news reported.
He was the only one aboard the two-seater when it crashed in the backyard of a home just south of Timmerman. Perelman went to the hospital with multiple injuries and died on Shabbos, reports said.
Daniel was a member of the Chabad Jewish Center of Waukesha County, directed by Shluchim Rabbi Levi and Fraidy Brook. A beloved young man, Daniel leaves behind his parents, sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, classmates, friends and all those who knew him and loved him.
Daniel was full of energy and curiosity, a gentle soul, and beloved by all who knew him, Rabbi Levi Brook told COLlive.com.
Rabbi Brook notes that in the Jewish tradition, remembering a loved one or friend is not a passive endeavor.
To truly remember is to incorporate a behavior, a positive trait or action into our lives, thereby memorializing the life and contributions of the one we loved, he said.
