| Yisaschar Reinitz |

| Yisaschar Reinitz 9.5 years old.
The Reinitz family were spending their holiday
at Mordechai's family in Jerusalem when
Mordechai and his 9-and-a-half-year-old son
Yisachar were killed in Tuesday night's terror
attack
Mordechai had taken two of his children,
Yisachar and Mendel, 11, to pray at the Western
Wall when the bus they were traveling home in
exploded. Mendel is still in a serious
condition.
Mordechai, 49, came to Israel with his parents
from the United States some 39 years ago.
Shalom Satmar, a spokesman for the Sanz Hasidim
community, said that the Reinitz family were
one of the oldest families in the Sanz
neighborhood in Netanya.
Mordechai was an excellent student from a young
age and when he was 14, he received a special
certificate from the then-admor for learning
300 pages of Gamara by heart. Five years ago,
the current admor appointed him spiritual
headmaster of the Talmud Torah school where he
himself learned. The admor had much respect for
him and had asked for his help in editing his
book.
Like his father, Yisachar was a great student
who had a great ''love of life'' and was always
very friendly, according to Satmar.
Students at Talmud Torah and residents of the
Sanz neighborhood of the coastal town have been
stunned by the deaths and rabbis and
psychologists were on-hand at the school
yesterday to help the students cope with their
grief.
Isaachar Reinitz was buried in Netanya. He is survived by his mother and 11 siblings.
