The levaya (funeral) for Leibby Kletzky will be taking place tonight at 7:00pm (later tweets say 8:30 pm) in front of Rabbi Eisenberger’s shul (synagogue) at 1650- 56th Street between 16th and 17th Avenues.
It’s part of Jewish ritual to bury the body right away. The family began sitting shivah for Leibby at their apartment on Wednesday afternoon 57th Street and 15th Avenue in Brooklyn. Shiva will last for seven days. It is suspended on Friday at 1:00 and will resume on Saturday evening when Shabbat is over.

Leibby’s father, Nachman Kletzky said, ““Here lies my child. Purity of heart. Very quiet and very respectful. Satisfied and never demanding. My child is gone. I’m in very deep sorrow.”
