BDE I am so terribly sad to hear this 😥 Morah Chaya Aidel AH was such a devoted morah and even years later had the same care for him. It was always a pleasure bumping into her, and I felt her genuine kindness towards both him and my family. I’m so so sad. We need moshiach 😭
Boruch Dayan Haemes. I’m so so so so sad to read this. May her family be confirmed and Moshiach come NOW!!

I had the privilege of working with Chaya Aydel in Oheli Torah preschool for many years. She was a hard worker and always cared for the children to learn what is right and wrong. She was a woman of truth and she always cared to do what she can to help. I remember her always taking about what she learnt in her Tanya class. She was also very into health and taking care of oneself in order to serve Hashem. I’m still in shock with this news! May her Neshama have the greatest Aliyah and may she storm the heavens… Read more »
So so so sad. I will miss you so much. Such shocking news. You were so excited for aryeh leib and you just told me you are trying to make it to his kabolas panim cause Tuesday is your mivtzoim day also.

Just 2 weeks ago I asked you to make a gym for my shaina, but you told… Read more »
I have fond memories as a young child in the basement gym with my friends taking gymnastics or karate. And Morah Chaya Aydel was always so warm and kind.
May her neshama have an Aliya.
Chaya Adel freeman EXCELLED in Ben Adam l’chaveiro. She always made a person feel good with her words.
That’s for sure. What a special, beautiful Neshama 🙁 So shocked and saddened to hear this news 🙁
I only knew her minimally and I’m so so sad to hear. She was full of life and always so kind and warm to me whenever I saw her. May her family have comfort in this most challenging time.
Everytime I think of this awesome lady, I cry. She was so genuine and always had a smile and a kind word.
Lets not take people for granted while they are here. Unfortunately tomorrow is not promised
Condolences to the family and her (sister) friends family as well
Tremendous loss of a genuinely kind, loving and sincere woman. To young and vibrant to go 🙁 this golus is too much to bear!

Your mom was a special lady. I worked with her in oholei torah, and all I can say is that despite our age difference, she was fun to talk to, down to earth and a beautiful soul. She will be missed!
Was shocked and so saddened to see this terrible news! I worked with her briefly in OT and have very fond memories of her. Her kindness, youthfulness, yiras Shamayim all stand out exceptionally. We need Moshiach now!!
Chaya Aydel truly embodied her name—radiating life, vitality, and unparalleled refinement. She was a beacon of grace and warmth, touching the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her presence was a living testament to elegance, kindness, and an unwavering zest for life. Her memory will forever inspire us to live with the same dignity, passion, and purpose that she so beautifully exemplified.
