JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Journalist Nir Dvori published on his Twitter page a picture taken by a policeman patrolling the streets of Jerusalem on Seder night at a time when there was a total curfew and no people were permitted to walk on the streets.

The picture, which touched many people due to its poetic effect, portrays an old couple conducting their Seder night in isolation on Strauss Street in Meah Shearim. However the unfortunate corollary of the story occurred Monday, when the old man in the picture suffered a stroke and passed away suddenly -on his eightieth birthday. He was buried later in the Sanhedria cemetery.

The man, whose name is Menashe Gil, was originally a resident of Florida who immigrated to Israel and settled in Meah Shearim. A nephew wrote about the old man and his final Seder and said that his widow was happy that her children, some of whom live in America, would now have a last picture of their father.

May his memory be blessed
