We are devastated and heartbroken by the sudden passing of Yonim Schweig ‘17. Yonim was a true tzadik who brought so much light, learning and laughter to our community. May his memory be a blessing and inspire us to encounter each other with the kindness, joy, and delight in learning and living that Yonim brought with him
My hands tremble as I write this, reeling from the news that the World has lost the brilliant light of Yonim Schweig, a young man whose wisdom, sweetness, talent, and potential impressed all who met him and exceeded every expectation. His life and my life were interwoven in magical ways. My first date with Leah Safran, now my wife of 20 years, was at Yonim’s bris. In our first years of marriage, Yonim scampered through our legs on Shabbat and in the park. He was a mentor and awe-inspiring big kid to my girls in school and a wildly talented actor on the theater stage. In 2013, when we made a short film about my own childhood, he so perfectly captured young me in front of the camera that I felt like I was watching my own memories. I coached him through reenactments of the darkest memories of my childhood and his profound skill and depth of emotion helped me heal in ways I hadn’t expected or thought possible. I had the highest privilege, pleasure, and gift of working with him night and day on that grueling multi-week production where his talent and preternatural professionalism, as well as his unflappable kindness, left a profound impression on the entire crew, cast, and production team. The news that this unstoppable kid with an infinitely huge future is suddenly no more of this World cannot be reconciled in my mind. For now, we can do nothing but crumple into a heap of tears.
Yonim Schweig, I can trace our conversations back to when we were 7, you taught me about the Torah, while me and my family were still finding our place in Judaism.
I’d like to describe you quoting Pirkei Avot (chapters of the fathers).
הֱוֵי מִתַּלְמִידָיו שֶׁל אַהֲרֹן, אוֹהֵב שָׁלוֹם וְרוֹדֵף שָׁלוֹם, אוֹהֵב אֶת הַבְּרִיּוֹת וּמְקָרְבָן לַתּוֹרָה:
Your personality was all about seeking peace and giving anyone the benefit of the doubt.
You’ll always be in my heart, thank you for being such a great friend, staying in touch over the years despite the distance between us.
May your memory be a blessing, Rest In Peace, brother.
תהא נשמתך צרורה בצרור החיים.
We are still working on getting more details about the death, as family statement on the death is yet to be released.
