6th Yartzeit of Mrs. Gansburg to Be Marked

An evening marking the Sixth yartzeit of Mrs. Gitta Gansburg will take place this Sunday, Vov Kislev/December 4. The event, beginning at 8:30 p.m. will be held at Mrs. Gansburg’s home for 38 years, the dormitory at 1367 President Street and on Zoom.

During one of the Rebbe’s visits to the dormitory on the first night of Pesach, the Rebbe told Mrs. Gansburg, “Thank you for raising my daughters.”

Mrs. Gansburg devoted nearly four decades of her life to “raising the Rebbe’s daughters.” In this capacity she worked together with her husband, famed chasid Rabbi Yitzchok (“Itchke”) Gansburg. Mrs. Gansburg is the daughter of the renown chasid Reb Refoel Nachman Kahn.

The event, “Five Minutes with Mrs. Gansburg” will feature ten people who knew Mrs. Gansburg in different ways and at different times of her life. They will each share a teaching, memory or life-lesson from Mrs. Gansburg for five minutes.

Featured speakers are: Rabbi Shloma Majeski, dean of Machon L’Yahadus; Rabbis Menachem and Levi Gansburg – Mrs. Gansburg’s grandsons and shluchim in Toronto; Chana Finman– shlucha in Ferndale, Michigan; Shira Gold and Dina Horvitz, both currently living in Miami; Nicole Luba Kornhauser, founder of Merkos Women in Melbourne, Australia; Muncha Leah Rodriguez in Massachusetts; Esther Stein, shlucha at Chabad of SUNY Stony brook; and Rivka Zamora in Costa Rica.

This year’s Machon L’Yahadus students hail from all over the United States as well as from Canada, Israel, Australia, Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Panama, Dominican Republic, France and Ukraine.
