She asked her if she liked her cake and the daughter said “yes” Ok said the Mother, Here is flour tast it, the daughter said that doesn’t taste good and she went on about… Read more »

Beautiful , inspiring and it is the children who will bring Chanchy’s memory to life. It is all of us who continue to write our words of love for her that will continue to touch the hearts and souls of Chanchy’s family. G-d bless them all..

I was scrolling down COL, and paused when I came across a picture of a little girl with the most adorable smile. I thought to myself, that girl looks alot like Shaina (P) Wolf…

You’ve written an inspiring piece, may her memory live on, and may those she impacted learn to take advantage of every moment in life, to care for others as she did for you.

I am beyond impressed. Clearly this morah had a deep and lasting impact on you and it was one that has been internalized and is a big piece to the puzzle of who you are…. Great article and thanks for the inspiration.

The “little, little kinderlach” will bring Moshiach…

That’s very well said, because “little, little kinderlach” are pure in heart.

…Until then, good anashim, keep working at it!:)
