    I am in total shock. bonnie was always so full of life, I remember her hiskashrus when she insisted on being called braina after the rebbe spoke about the importance of Hebrew names, she also signed me up for the tehillim club while waiting on line for the rebbes dollars. she didn’t waste time or opportunity and was always real. I am sure she will tell the aibeshter that the time for the geulah is past due. moshiach now…….chana l

  • oh Moshiach Now please

    I never met her but owe so much to those early years of Nshei Chabad Newsletter. A source of inspiration,
    information and support carried me from one issue to the next. May the family be comforted.

    Our family is deeply saddened by this shocking and totally unexpected loss. The Deitsch family, including Mrs. Brana Shaina Deitsch, OBM, have provided a shining beacon of light and enlightenment in communities across the globe. Among Mrs. Deitsch’s most important contributions and legacies has been the wonderful family that she raised and has shared so generously. In Fairfax, VA we are blessed to be so well served by her son Rabbi Sholom Deitsch and the entire Deitsch family.
