BDHE When will this terrible virus finish and everyone has a Refuach Shalama . We Pray that Hashem will bring Mashiach now then there will be an end to the virus.
Esther was the first woman that I met when I came to Crown Heights in December 1972. I stayed in her basement for the weekend. Yossi and Shmueli were very cute little boys and I’m sure Esther was very busy with them, yet she gave such wonderful hospitality. That weekend in Crown Heights changed my life. Thank you to Esther. May her family be comforted among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim. Moshiach now!!!!
