“Eshes Chayil – Mi Yimtza”

With broken and anguished hearts, we announce the passing, B’sayva Tova, of our beloved mother and grandmother, who established generations of upright and blessed descendants.

For more than sixty years, until an advanced age, she taught Jewish children and educated them in Torah and fear of Heaven at the Talmudical Academy of Baltimore, with devotion and great love—for her family and for her students.

She devoted herself to the Torah of her husband, our father of blessed memory, and to his students, particularly during the years he served as a Rebbe at Yeshivas Ner Yisrael in Baltimore, in the early period of Torah’s flourishing in America.

Her fine character traits were renowned and praiseworthy. She greeted everyone warmly and accepted all events of her life with faith and joy, cleaving to Hashem through her heartfelt prayers.
