    The name of the niftar is Arye Diamond from the Los Angeles area. Arye o”h was a regular visitor to the Chabad House at Rutgers University and attended services and the Kosher Meal program regularly. The Chabad House staff of Rabbis have ben busy attending to the necessary Halachic requirements and family issues. Presently, the Chabad rabbis are engaged in obtaining the release of the Niftar, and have ben hosting the family members as well.
    Last night, a counselling session was held at Chabad House for Rutgers students and friends.
    A great deal of community leaders have been involved in this sad episode, and a Yasher Koach to all involved in this Mitzvah.

    Chesed Shel Emes at their best!
    Chesed shel emes was notified yesterday at noon time that the niftar from the amtrak tragedy is still at the ME’s office, and is not being claimed. So CSE contacted the ME’s office, they said that nothing can be done till thursday, because there was no positive identification done yet, because he is beond recognition, and they didn’t get a hold of the dental records.
    Chesed shel emes started working the phones to find the niftars dentist, finally after an hour worth of phone calls CSE found his dentist, they sent a volunteer to pick up the records and take it to the ME. then CSE had to get the ME’s dentist to go down to the ME’s office and do the identification. She said that she is now in her private practice and she has patients waiting and it will have to wait for the next day, CSE paid her to cancel her patients for the rest of the day and they paid her overtime to drive down, she did.
    the niftar was identified, but the ME didnt want to release till the next day. The noted askan Rabbi Edgar Gluck got involved, and he got the NJ chief medical examiner to release the niftar yesterday, Chesed Shel Emes picked up the niftar brought it over to shomrei hadas, CSE did the tahara last night. the niftar was flown to Los Angeles CA to his family, this morning at 7:00 am.
