Interesting. What’s the background?

Questionable.

The last photo presumingly of the Rebbetzin Ch.M. It doesn’t look like her compared to other photos when she was younger. The look the face the shape (respectfully of course). It’s thrown off by so much.
Not sure why it was even considered.

It looks like maybe AI decided it was her. From my untrained eye, compared to the other pictures, I also think that it doesn’t look like her.

Can you give more context?

A childhood friend who kept the friendship throughout the years.
(I don’t know off hand the exact chronological history).
Known and documented she would keep in touch through writting sharing photos and meeting up.
As noticeable from the photos together.
It was a very close friendship that was very unique.

Wife of reb Berel Rivkin

She was a childhood friend of the rebitzin since the days of Lubavitch up until their passings a half a year apart in 1988. She is a Heber from home.

Nacha Heber Rivkin was raised alongside the Frierdiker Rebbe’s 3 daughters in Lubavitch and then Rostov. She was Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson’s best friend until she passed away when they were both in their 80s. She was my great aunt and these photos are from our family albums. (Her father and brother – my zaidy Leibish Heber – were actually at the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s wedding in Poland. And then with the Rebbe and Rebbetzin in Paris in the late 1930s where they were Kvateren at my father R’ Asher Heber’s bris.) – Brocha Chana Heber Metzger

Nacha Rivkin - Shulamis

She was amongst the founders of Shulamis, the first school for girls in the US. She also composed many songs, and wrote textbooks. She used many Montessori methods in her work. Her daughter was among the initial Bais Yaakov students, under Vichna Kaplan. Mrs. Rivkin is definitely deserving of further research!

Doesn’t look like the Rebbetzin at all in the group photo.
