Any life lost at such an early age is a tragedy but to have left 4 children without a mother. Our hearts go out to you. May Hashem comfort you in this painful time

Avrohom is a very special person. I am very close friends with him and he is a special, sensitive, and strong soul. He and Chaya Mushka, both very special.

May Hashem be with you Avrohom and your 4 precious children.

May you be comforted and strengthened to go through your pain and mourning and to your’s and your children’s futures.

We must. Take to heart. The life we have. Husbands, don’t take your wife for granted. Wives. Don’t take your husband for granted. Parents. Don’t take your children for granted. Childern. Don’t take your parents for granted. Friends. Don’t take your friends for granted. Healthy people. Don’t take your health for granted. We must use our time and g-d given gifts, to increase in acts of goodness and kindness, to bring redemption one second sooner. To the husband and family, My heart is with you, my g-d comfort you and give you the strength to get through this most difficult… Read more »

Words cannot express your family’s tremendous heartache at this time. As Rav Berkes said so eloquently (in Portuguese), Hashem goes down to His garden (Am Yisroel) and gathers the roses (the Tzaddikim) for Himself. It is not easy for us to understand Hashem’s ways B.D.E. May she be a guteh beteren for the whole family and may you be comforted in knowing what a diamond you had for a daughter. May Moshiach come NOW and may you be reunited with her, together with the whole family.

E aqui a linda mensagem do Rabino Berkes: דודי ירד לגנו לערוגת הבושם אמר רבי יוסי ב”ר חנינא: הפסוק הזה לא ראשו סופו ולא סופו ראשו, לא היה צריך קרא למימר, אלא דודי ירד לרעות בגנו ואת אמר לרעות בגנים?! אלא דודי, זה הקב”ה. לגנו זה העולם. לערוגת הבושם אלו ישראל. לרעות בגנים אלו בתי כנסיות ובתי מדרשות. וללקוט שושנים לסלק את הצדיקים שבישראל. “Meu amado desceu ao seu jardim…para colher rosas” – shir hashirim – cantico dos canticos. Midrash: ” meu amado” – D-us. Seu jardim – Seu povo. Colher rosas – recolher as almas dos justos (precocemente ).… Read more »
