Life Insurance is a most for every father and mother. Its not a luxury.

Go buy life Insurance today don't wait even not one day, do it for your children.

Term Insurance is not expensive and you need to have a minimum of at least a $1,000,000.00

The Levaya will probably be in kiryas yoel like 4 pm. Since the niftars body is there, its not allowed to be taken back to Boro Park.
I personally knew Chesky since he was young kid..he always was extremely sensitive to other peoples feelings he always protected the weak and underdogs.
He had courage and commitment to do the right things.
We'll all miss you
forever.

BD"H If we would all live every day as though it were our last day, this world would be a different place. No one knows when their last day will be.
We should be filling our days with good deeds and behaving in a proper manner at all times. Every single father should provide his family with term life insurance, it's a few hundred dollars a year, that is less than one dollar a day! Failing to provide this is an extreme lack of responsibility, no family should be without this!
Every young couple should consider this a necessity, from day one! Parents need to do this for their children to start with, and teach them that this is not optional. It is more important than any other expense. Term insurance is cheap, and you do not need an agent or broker. You can buy it yourself. Many brokers don't push it because commissions are high when selling regular (whole) life insurance. Everyone has to do their research and buy what they can afford. Term is the affordable solution for everyone. And NO, I am not a broker, just a responsible parent that has bought this for all my married couples. It is the most important of all the gifts you give your children.

Although its not the place here to talk about life insurance, because you have to remember , money is secondery, his family and friends are not crying now about money, there's a much bigger void then money here, but in general you are still right.

Whatever insurance he did have, was probably bought after being begged a few times, and maybe even just to get lose from the agent, but I do believe that the agent who ever it is, is being appreciated now
