  In Memory of Raizel

  I’m so grateful for the message you gave tonite, Rabbi YY, that there is no way to wrap ourselves around what many of the things that happen in this world, deaths, sickness, suffering. Thank you for not trying to explain that there is an obvious  explanation.  I guess it comes down to G-d doesn’t make mistakes. HE knows what HE’s doing. The story of the Klausenberger Rebbe and the lesson from Aharon about silence were amazing. Thank you! Thank you also to Raizel’s family and friends for having us all share in this experience. May G-d console all of you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Ha’makom yenahem etkhem betokh she’ar avelei Tziyonvi’Yerushalayim/

  Yasher koach for this idea. BDE

  I watched this brave woman struggle with her illness the past year. Always a (weak) smile. Hashem should give Berl, who himself with his sibs, was orphaned of a mother at a young age, the strength to carry on and raise these kids. Yasher koach  to Cheskie and Rochel Litzman who opened their house to this family this past year, or longer, packing in some 25+ people. 

     Raizel should be a melitz yosher for her family, for us all and demand that  Moshiach come down already so all can be swiftly rejoined.
