Eliyahu was born in the Ukraine and became close to the Karlin chasidim who had established institutions for Jewish youths in the Ukraine under the auspices of their Letzion Berinah organization. As a young boy, Eliyahu immigrated to Israel from Lvov in the Ukraine and became a Karlin chasid. He lived in Beitar Illit where he studied Torah and worked as a real estate agent.

Eliyahu was married for a short period in his life and did not leave any children. The public is asked to pray for the soul of Eliyahu ben Maria. May his soul rest in peace.

One of the people injured in the collapse, Dovid Zvi Ben Liba, is still in serious condition and the public is asked to pray for his speedy recovery.
