Une profonde tristesse d’apprendre cette nouvelle. Mme Kalmenson était une femme extrêmement généreuse. Je me souviendrais toujours d’elle. Je pense à sa fille Slava, ma copine d’école, et toute la famille, ainsi que toutes les élèves de Sinai.
On le répète encore et encore, Hashem, Ad Matai ?

Baruch Dayan HaEmes. So sad to hear this news about Rebbetzin Kalmanson A”H.
May Hashem give the family strength and comfort and Moshiach NOW!
