Davening here in Lakewood. Our hearts are with you and we are crying. May Hashem return him to his family safe in body and spirit very, very soon!
Very strange story.
Daven!
He could be missing or runaway but no foul play? I understand if he ran away that there is no foul play, but what about “missing”?! What is the definition of “missing”?
They should check nearby stores with cameras, bus station with cameras. Pray for successful end.
The family should know and be forthcoming if he did in fact run away, it makes a big difference on where to concentrate the searches.
Update per Brookline, MA police: Multiple sightings in Providence as of last evening. Please be on the look-out; if seen, do not approach, but call police immediately.
hope they find him Sharon why do not approach?
Calev Avraham Ben Elisheva
#8  211; presumably so he doesn 217;t flee when approached. That 217;s just my hunch though.
Our tefilos are with him and his family for a safe and speedy reunion.
To Sharon MA #7 is there a link where you can direct us to verify this information? I’m a little reluctant to post based on an anonymous post here but I have friends in Providence. Thank you.
Very inspiring. I read about Calebs disappearance and opened tehilim to random kapital to say tehilim. The kapital i said ended with the words “moishivi akeres habayis aim habonim samaycho”.(kapitel 113)
He was Baruch Hashem found I read, IN NYC.
