Mrs. Yehudit Rothschild of Kiryat Chabad of Tzfas, Israel, passed away on 8 Av, 5780.
She was 65.
Yehudit graduated with honors and had a BS in Chemistry and taught science in Beit Rivka seminary and Beit Chana high school.
For close to 40 years, she was an activist who ran a volunteer effort with the ladies of Tzfat to visit with women who were planning on terminating their pregnancies. Her work inspired the birth of hundreds of babies.
She was honored at the national convention of Efrat, an organization that works to encourage women to continue their pregnancies, providing financial and emotional assistance.
Hundreds of children were born due to the hard work of the volunteer efforts that she led.
The Rebbe was often consulted with medical questions and other issues during the course of her work, and the secretariat would return calls to Israel within seconds or minutes with the Rebbe’s answers.
For the past three years, she battled a dreaded illness.
She is survived by her husband David Rothschild and children, Sarah Kupchik – Delhi, India; Leah – Tzfas, Miriam Rivkin – Tzfas, Menachem – Rehovot, Israel, and Binyamin – Brooklyn, NY.
The Levaya took place in Tzfas, Israel.
