(Courtesy of Bris Avrohom) In honor of כב שׁבט, women gathered at the Bris Avrohom Center to mark the yahrzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, ob” m, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The women joined to learn about Rebbetzin’s life and to internalize what they can gain from her wisdom and actions. This follows the words of King Solomon,” והחי יתן אל לבו,” the living should take to heart and learn from the departed.
The event began with Rebbetzin Shterney Kanelsky reciting Chapters 123 and 124 in Tehillim in honor of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin. The special prayers were said for our brothers and sisters in Israel, particularly for the safe return of the remaining hostages.
The guest speaker, Mushky Zaltzman of Monsey, shared touching stories of the Rebbetzin. She also encouraged the women to display unity, strengthen in the chinuch of the children and learn from the good deeds of the Rebbetzin and how to make the lessons a part of our daily lives.
The evening was organized by the N’shei Chabad committee: Chaya Bennish, Chaya Kanelsky, Mushky Wisnefsky and Mussie Zakheim. Refreshments were served, prepared by the committee.
