About Eliyahu

Eliyahu Moscowitz Hy”d was a 24-year-old bochur from Chicago. Full of life, talented, connected, and possessing a smile that never left his face. In recent years, he worked as Mashgiach Kashrus (Kosher Supervisor) at a local supermarket, where he was well known for his kind smile and willingness to help everyone.

During Simchas Torah, he was shot and killed in a public park.

We will miss him dearly — we already do — and we turn to you, our friends and family, people who knew Eliyahu and those who never met him — to keep his memory alive. Help us honor him with this Mitzvah campaign.

Eliyahu loved Torah and Mitzvos to his very core, and nothing can possibly give his Neshama a greater purpose and elevation than our doing many Mitzvos in his memory.

Your good deeds have brought so much light into the world already — and at this dark hour, a little more light is exactly what we need. Please, do a Mitzvah for Eliyahu.

May we only share simchos!

You can also help support Eliyahu’s family financially during this devastating time.

Eliyahu‘s Chapter of Tehillim

פֶּרֶק כ”ה

א. לְדָוִד אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה נַפְשִׁי אֶשָׂא: ב. אֱלֹהַי בְּךָ בָטַחְתִּי אַל-אֵבוֹשָׁה; אַל-יַעַלְצוּ אוֹיְבַי לִי: ג. גַם כָּל-קֹוֶיךָ לֹא יֵבשׁוּ; יֵבשׁוּ הַבּוֹגְדִים רֵיקָם: ד. דְרָכֶיךָ יְהוָה הוֹדִיעֵנִי; אֹרְחוֹתֶיךָ לַמְדֵנִי: ה. הַדְרִיכֵנִי בַאֲמִתֶּךָ, וְלַמְדֵנִי כִּי-אַתָּה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעִי; אוֹתְךָ קִוִיתִי כָּל-הַיוֹם: ו. זְכֹר רַחֲמֶיךָ יְהוָה וַחֲסָדֶיךָ כִּי מֵעוֹלָם הֵמָה: ז. חַטֹאוֹת נְעוּרַי, וּפְשָׁעַי אַל-תִּזְכֹּר כְּחַסְדְךָ זְכָר-לִי-אַתָּה לְמַעַן טוּבְךָ יְהוָה: ח. טוֹב וְיָשָׁר יְהוָה עַל-כֵּן יוֹרֶה חַטָאִים בַּדָרֶךְ: ט. יַדְרֵךְ עֲנָוִים בַּמִשְׁפָּט; וִילַמֵד עֲנָוִים דַרְכּוֹ: י. כָּל-אָרְחוֹת יְהוָה חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת; לְנֹצְרֵי בְרִיתוֹ וְעֵדֹתָיו: י”א. לְמַעַן-שִׁמְךָ יְהוָה; וְסָלַחְתָּ לַעֲוֺנִי כִּי רַב-הוּא: י”ב. מִי זֶה הָאִישׁ יְרֵא יְהוָה; יוֹרֶנוּ בְּדֶרֶךְ יִבְחָר: י”ג. נַפְשׁוֹ בְּטוֹב תָּלִין; וְזַרְעוֹ יִירַשׁ אָרֶץ: י”ד. סוֹד יְהוָה לִירֵאָיו; וּבְרִיתוֹ לְהוֹדִיעָם: ט”ו. עֵינַי תָּמִיד אֶל-יְהוָה; כִּי הוּא יוֹצִיא מֵרֶשֶׁת רַגְלָי: ט”ז. פְּנֵה-אֵלַי וְחָנֵנִי; כִּי-יָחִיד וְעָנִי אָנִי: י”ז. צָרוֹת לְבָבִי הִרְחִיבוּ; מִמְצוּקוֹתַי הוֹצִיאֵנִי: י”ח. רְאֵה עָנְיִי וַעֲמָלִי; וְשָׂא, לְכָל-חַטֹאותָי: י”ט. רְאֵה אֹיְבַי כִּי-רָבּוּ; וְשִׂנְאַת חָמָס שְׂנֵאוּנִי: כ. שָׁמְרָה נַפְשִׁי וְהַצִילֵנִי; אַל-אֵבוֹשׁ כִּי-חָסִיתִי בָךְ: כ”א. תֹּם-וָישֶׁר יִצְרוּנִי; כִּי קִוִיתִיךָ: כ”ב. פְּדֵה-אֱלֹהִים אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל; מִכֹּל צָרוֹתָיו:

Chapter 25

1. By David. To You, Lord, I lift my soul.
2. My God, I have put my trust in You. May I not be put to shame; may my enemies not gloat over me.
3. Indeed, may all who hope in You not be put to shame; let those who act treacherously without reason be shamed.
4. O Lord, make Your ways known to me; teach me Your paths.
5. Train me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I yearn for You all day.
6. O Lord, remember Your mercies and Your kindnesses, for they have existed for all time.
7. Do not recall the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; remember me in accordance with Your kindness, because of Your goodness, O Lord.
8. Good and upright is the Lord, therefore He directs sinners along the way.
9. He guides the humble with justice, and teaches the humble His way.
10. All the paths of the Lord are kindness and truth for those who observe His covenant and testimonies.
11. For the sake of Your Name, O Lord, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12. Whoever is a God-fearing man, him will He teach the path that he should choose.
13. His soul will abide in well-being, and his descendants will inherit the earth.
14. The secret of the Lord is to those who fear Him; He makes His covenant known to them.
15. My eyes are always turned to the Lord, for He releases my feet from the snare.
16. Turn to me and be compassionate to me, for I am alone and afflicted.
17. The sufferings of my heart have increased; deliver me from my hardships.
18. Behold my affliction and suffering, and forgive all my sins.
19. See how numerous my enemies have become; they hate me with a violent hatred.
20. Guard my soul and deliver me; may I not be put to shame, for I place my trust in You.
21. Let integrity and uprightness guard me, for my hope is in You.
22. Redeem Israel, O God, from all its afflictions.

    This is a beautiful way to keep Eliyahu love for doing mitzvos alive! When I think of Eliyahu z”l I think of his warm and calm demeanor. I too want to emulate that special touch he had for others and my pledge of speaking calmly when frustrated is something I want to work on. May his neshama have a huge Aliya and help bring Mashiach in his parents and loved ones days!
