Our hearts are still bleeding from the tragic loss of our dear friend, Rena Baron a”h, founder of Mom2Mom and the “Mommy and Me” classes
that have become so synonymous with AIM.
Rena was, “kishma kein hi”, pure joy, to all those who were so fortunate to know her. She touched us, uplifted us, and inspired us in all areas of our lives. We saw the love and excitement she felt towards being a mother, and that love was felt not only by her immediate family, but by her broader Baltimore family as well.
When she reached out to bring her organization, Mom2Mom, under the umbrella of AIM, it was a win - win for everyone.
Rena embodied the mission of AIM - her passion for new mothers knew no bounds, and the dedication she exhibited to mothers in all stages was an inspiration to behold.
The weekly “Mommy and Me” classes continued to grow in popularity, reaching over 50 women in attendance, and becoming the highlight of many women’s weeks.
Rena, your painful loss has left a gaping void within us. But you would not want us to wallow in our sadness.
You would challenge us, “Hazor'im bdim'ah b’RENA yiktzoru”, to take our sadness and channel it towards growth.
So, Rena, even though you are no longer here by our side, we still commit ourselves, stronger than ever, to your mission of helping every mother in Baltimore. We do this for you.
Your spirit will live on, through every song, every smile, every relationship built during those invaluable classes. Your AIM family will be there to perpetuate your incredible legacy, and bring more joy, more RENA, to every mother who welcomes a new neshama into this world.
May it be a zechus for the neshama of Rena Esther bas Rav Daniel Efraim.
