Baruch Dayan, the truth teller: At the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, the late Rabbi Shmuel Bacharach, passed away today (Saturday), at the age of 68, after a serious illness.

The deceased, z"l, was born to his father, Rabbi Avraham Bachrach, z"l, and his mother, Mrs. Hanna, of Petach Tikva. When he reached his end, he married his wife, the daughter of Rabbi Aharon Goldman, z"l, in Bnei Brak.

The late, z"l, was one of the first volunteers in the ZAKA organization over thirty years ago, and worked in faith for public needs.

He left behind a large family, sons and daughters, sons-in-law and descendants who continue in his footsteps.

His brother is the gaon Rabbi Aharon Bachrach, head of the yeshiva for young people 'Giv'at Rokach' in Bnei Brak.

The mourning message published by the ZAKA organization reads: "Alas, a unique person has done for you - with great sadness we announce the passing of one and only one of the group's members, a true charity in his body, who was devoted in heart and soul to the mission of 'True Charity', one of the first volunteers and the living spirit of the organization, Rabbi Shmuel Bacharach, the late Rabbi, who was purified in suffering and passed away today, a holy Sabbath, at the age of only 68 years.

""We send our sincere condolences to the members of the Shivlahta family. The organization's management and volunteers embrace and accompany the family during their difficult time.".

""The volunteer public is called to pay their last respects.".

The funeral procession will leave tomorrow from his home at 11 Hebron Street, Bnei Brak, to Beit HaChaim Yarkon, Gate of Petah Tikva.
