Dorit Simcha Giro, a devoted mother of 7 children and resident of Crown Heights, passed away Shabbos morning, 30 Menachem Av 5772.
She was 45.
On Friday afternoon, an urgent Tehillim notice was posted on COLlive.com asking the public to pray after she was admitted in critical condition to the Intensive Care Unit for a severe infection.
“I can’t believe she is not here,” a devastated friend of hers said Motzoei Shabbos. “She was an amazing friend. Kind, generous and simply one of a kind.”
For many years her apartment was an open door to guests coming to New York to spend the month of Tishrei with the Rebbe, and year-round.
The Israeli-born Dorit moved to Crown Heights some 26 years ago and has been active and known in the Hebrew speaking community, along with her parents Asher and Alice Benabo and siblings Iris Sherman, Shimon Benabo, Itzik Benabo and Smadi Benabo. Another sister Ayala Maman lives in Yavne, Israel.
She is survived by her husband Ronen Giro, their children (ages 21 to 8) Mendy, Chani, Mushki, Srulik, Esti, Yitzchaki and Rivki; her parents and siblings.
The levaya will take place Sunday from Shomrei Hadas chapel at 10:30 AM, passing 770 Eastern Parkway at 12 noon to the Old Montiforie cemetery in Queens where she will be buried.
The family will be sitting Shiva at the Giro residence, 1365 Carroll Street Apt 3CC (corner Kingston Avenue).

ברוך דיין האמת
I am in shock, and I am still hoping that Moshiach finally does show up, so this can all be a galus dream. Special Women hosting Shabbos meals for dozens of Bochorim that otherwise would mamash have no place to eat.
Evrybody do more mitzvos bhidur
Ad Mosai?? Ad Mosai?? Ad Mosai??
Boruch dayan hoemes.
Moshiach Now.
So sad, she was so nice and kind
This is truly heartbreaking. May Hashem comfort her family and may Moshiach come immediately to obliterate this golus!
may hashem give u the strenth to get thru this tragedy
and bring dorit back with moshiach now
Dear Dorit!..i cant believe …please be meliz yosher on all of us!
she was the first one to come to America from her family. got very close to Rabbi and Mrs Kotlarsky. like a ^ben bayis^ at their house…. then brought her family over.
her kids are great children and may they only find the right comfort with the coming of moshiach now!
she was like my second mom, i only wish the best for the family !!! chani i will always be here for you and your family.
may your family have no more pain..
Baruch Dayan Emes, so sad! I remember Dorit when she first came to Crown Heights, she was an amazing person and will be missed by all
Speechless! May the family know no more tza’ar.
May Hashem confort the family
baruch dayan emes, this is so sad, may hashem give them comfort
Unbelievable………..in total shock! Ad Mosai??
We are thinking of the family constantly
