Chaya was and is my very good friend I think of her all day. Chana is my classmate, and she is the strongest person i know. May her and her brothers be blessed with long life. Rafi was a big enough tragedy. May her family and the rest of the Lubavitcher toronto community never have to deal wth this grief.
chayas family is the leading family of the JRCC.
this is a loss to us, as a family.
chaya please come back
BDE! She was such a wonderful, beautiful lady! we will miss her terribly.
MOSHIACH NOWWWWWWWWW
i remember her in shul on rosh hashono and yom kippor,
she seemed very friendly and modest.
like a step up in maturity from the rest of her friends, while playing and interacting on the same level and respect.
rafi and chaya you both thought and continue to teach me that IF HASHEM GIVES YOU ANOTHER MOMENT USE IT, YOUR TIRED, DON’T FEEL UP TO IT, DO IT ANYWAYS – AND WITH A SMILE. – BECAUSE MOSHIACH IS ON THE WAY.
school is not the same without you chaya!
We miss you so much!!
Moshiach now
They’re the Rebbe’s words for such a situation R”L, and all of our feelings and heartfelt wishes. May Hashem protect the family.
We are shocked to heart, hamakim yenachem eschem besoch share avlei tzion veyerushalayim
May Chaya help bring moshiach NOW!!!!
BDE
what shocking and heartbreaking news.
I was privlaged to have Chaya as my camper two years ago. she is truly a special girl.
My co and I are working on organizing a Mitzvah/learning in honor of Chaya together with our bunk
may we only hear good news!!!
Moshiach now!!!!!!
i am missing chaya already, you always made me happy and we had great times together
Baruch Dayan Haemes. Moshiach Now.
i would like to thank the writer of comment 53 ` i haverecently suffered a heartbreaking loss ` i am so sick of hearing everyone shouting at Hashem or kvetching about Moshiach `Hashem runs this would with purpose and intention ` How refreshing to hear someone clear thinking with concrete thoughts and a strengthening encouraging message ` If we would live with thought and intelligence , Moshiach would surely come `
Hamakom Yenachem Eschem… there are no words, so painful
Chaya, we miss you. You were such a sweet, happy girl who shined from the inside.
Moshiach now!
Although I didn’t know chaya personally, she was a friend of my friends and I had heard such nice things about her. Scary to think of how young she was, the same age as me.
To the family; I offer my greatest condolences.
Missing you. Missing your passion for transforming everything you heard and saw into action. Missing your sincerity, kindness and ‘chassidishe bren’. Missing the way you stood up for what’s right and how you showed us by example how to DO what’s right. I don’t want you in the past, but in the present. V’hachai yiten el libo- and so I will try to take at least some of what I learned from you to live with. To the Kaushansky family sheyichyu המקום ינחם אתכם- May Hashem give you the strength to get through each day. There is no doubt that… Read more »
This takes me by complete and utter shock… bdE. We can only say that Moshiach has to come NOW!!!!
Enough is enough.
chaya mushka will daven for moshiach now that she is so close to Hashem
bde
There are truly, truly no words. Tzaras Rabim Chatzi Nechomo. Please know that all of us, Jews throughout the world, mourn with you. The commentator that said that this is a knife through our hearts speaks for all of us. I hope that these true words of the Rebbe can serve as a comfort and guidance to you: Rabbi Nachum Rabinovitz, an elder chassid who lives in Jerusalem, was once waiting for yechidut (a private audience with the Rebbe). Among those waiting was a young man, obviously wealthy, but wearing a morose and despondent expression. A short while later, the… Read more »
May there only be joy in koshanskys family
Very tragical news ….may her good deeds comfort her family and friends
Such terrible news. May Hashem give the family the Koach they will need to get through this trying time. Alibishter have rachmonos on your children bring us moshiach!!
I don’t know what to say… She was always so kind, and such an inspirational person. Even then i would look at her for strength. U will be missed! I just pray hashem gives the family extra strength to get through this especially challenging time.
– a friend
Chaya is the most optimistic kindest person in the world. Even though she was so sick she always made everyone else feel as though she was helping them and loved them just for being people. She was a truly exceptional person!
BDE. Tragic and painful for the family and the whole kehilla. How to help or comfort a family suffering such a grievous loss?
Rafi and Chaya Mushka, two beautiful neshamos. We will never forget you.No words.
Bde:i cant stop crying, such an innocent child , why?!?may her family be comforted andm ay we be united with moshiach tzidkainu!!
chaya mushkas nishama should have an aliya
Moshiach should come now!!!!
I’m taking on a hachlata leilui nishmas chaya mushka bas arye leib. May her neshama have an aliya. Ad mosai
May Hashem comfort you! No words… :(((
oyy
chaya was in the same school as me!
she was the nicest girl!!
she will be missed!!
may her neshama have an aliah!
baruch dayan haemes!!!
moshiach now!!!!!
may you be comforted with moshiach now
just…terrible. no words
poor poor family, friends, and everybody. We lost a gem, and heaven gained an angel.
She will be missed by all.
Chaya was a girl who could never be angry at anybody, always smiling and optimistic.
Even though we can’t see and don’t understand Hashem’s plan because we’re in Golus and it is very dark, we still have to believe that this is the truth. For us physical beings it seems very heartbreaking and tragic, but Hashem knows that this soul has finished their tachlis (purpose) on this earth and it was time for them to return to shamayim. When Moshiach comes we will see the truth and understand Hashem’s plan………..may it be soon!!
I dont even know were to start!
Chaya was the most sweetest girl ever!
She always went out of her way to say hi to some one
She was always kind and giving and anything a friend could
Have asked for!!!!! Im sure missing her alot!!!!!
Bde! Moshiach now!!!
The school will never be the same again without her. May her neshama have an aliya.
Moshiach now!
So sad
May the family only have simchas from now on! Umocha hashem dim’ah me’alkol ponim!

Bais Chomesh high school is bringing in professionals to help staff and students and especially close friends cope with this grief. But how can we help the family! This is pain beyond the human threshold. Chaya was the kindest girl!!
Love bunk ח

Baruch Dayan Emet
This Is Insane! Its Enough Already…We Need Moshiach!
bd”e
I happen to know chaya very well and the one thing I will always remember her by was her true kindness to everyone. she was a very sweet person to be around. Boruch dayan haemes
May Hashem give you the energy to cope with the tragedy!
This Galus is getting too dark, it better mean that Moshiach is around the corner!
so sad, Hashem should give the parents and siblings lots of koiches.
Ths is too too much, oy What do we do????
No words period
I don’t know these people, but seeing this, is like a knife right through my heart.
There are no clever words to say. I’m so so sorry.
Chana simcha
My heart is breaking for the faimily. I cannot even fathom how they have now lost TWO children at the teenage age. Oy Hashem. May her Neshama have an Aliya. She and her brother must have been very holy to have passed away at such a young age. ZT”L. And how did she die? This is so sad, oy. 🙁
May the family never know of any more sadness!!!
Chaya, you will be missed by many.
BDE!!!!!!!!
how?
Such a nice family!! Why would hashem do this??!!
Parents should not lose two teenagers in one year! May Hashem give them super human strength to cope.
I hope this is the last time we have to make this brocha. Moshiach should come immediately today and wipe away our tears. May Hashem comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Yirushalaim.
Dovid Chaim.
Chaya was always happy even through the hardest times. Everything she learnt she wanted to internalize and unserstand. She is an inspiration to all. Her family and friends should be comforted.
Why does it say BDE next to a 14 year old child???
The whole Bais Chomesh High School is going crazy! She was in school on Friday!!!!!
