Dear family Swerdlov, I heard about this in Montreal when Mrs Miriam Swerdlov spoke to the Montreal community. I came home and started sobbing.. Mi Kaamche Yisroel. Where do you take the strength to overcome such challenge . You surely make a kiddush shem shomayim by showing others suffering losses how to grow from it. May hashem bentch you not to know from more tzar. I thank you Mrs Miriam Swerdlov for sharing the story with us and for inspiring the Montreal Community.

A Montrealer.

I am amazed at the strength you were able to portray at a time like this. I don’t know how you had the strength to go through a period like this. I almost couldn’t get out of bed the morning afterwards. I’m really impresed. May you be zocheh to many more children who will give you much nachas. May moshiach come real soon.
I will try to take something upon myself in shula’s memory.
May you not know of any more tzar.

How we all morn your tragic loss. We are crying for this beautiful little girl Shula obm. We feel as though one of our own has been taken away so prematurly. Lubavitch is one big family and this unbelivable tragedy affects everyone of us.
May Hashem comfort you and may you continue your dedicated work of bringing people closer to the Rebbes inyanim. Please Hashem BRING MOSHIACH NOW!!!!!!!!! Please wipe the tears of your speacial nation.

Until Moshiach comes , we’ll never come close to trying to underrstand how with Chasdei Hashem 2 year old Moishele was so miraculously saved and how R”L 3 year old Shula was so tragicly taken . Hashem created the world , Hashem runs the world ! It’s our job to continue making this world a DIRA LO YISBORECH and to be Mentchen to one another . May Shula along with Devori , Levi , all the Mumbai Kedoshim , and all those Hailigeh Nishomos up there , finally go before the Kisai Hakovod and bring Moshiach Now !!!! AD MOSAI… Read more »

That was beautifully said.
To # 10 – Its breaks my heart too , to see Hindel with such an empty expression- she is usually such a vibrant, happy person. My heart aches and tears fill my eyes!

I’m amazed that she can even sit at a table like that and hold herself together…..her strength is obvious.
They really are special people, my one encounter with them was very memorable and inspiring.

Dear Eibishter, I dont question Your exsistence or that everything that You do is somehow for the good. Aber vifil iz der shiur? How much pain have You caused? How many families all over the world have shed so many tears, so many broken hearts. You should know that every one of Your children is feeling this and every one of Your children wants You to heal the hearts of this beautiful mishpocha in the most complete way. And You know its only through one thing. With every type of bakasha, bring Moshiach and we will be healed. Vehikitzu veranenue… Read more »
