Norfolk Update: Search Continues

Thursday afternoon update: Search continues with helicopter, boats, and people walking and riding on beach. Rabbi Slone continues to coordinate. We are always hopeful, but al pi derech hateva this is a ‘recovery’ mission. We will be coordinating volunteer search units over shabbos. Contrary to previous reports the family will not be beginning shiva today. The hope is to find R’ Bauman soon. Please respect the family’s privacy and do not linger. Refreshments for visitors can be found in the Shul social hall. There will be a meeting at Shul for community members at 6:30 pm. It will follow the format of previous meetings with representation from the various organizations. Please continue to daven for everyone involved.

Update as of Thursday morning from the Norfolk Jewish community:
The search continues to find the body of R' Reuvein Tzvi ben esther Baila Bauman
 The search is continuing with many volunteers on land at sea and by drone. They will resume at 4:30 Thursday morning and continue throughout Thursday and Friday, possibly longer if necessary.

 No official announcements have been made regarding shiva. Please continue to daven.

A fund was set up to help the mishpacha during this difficult time.
