How beautiful it will be that every Kallah entering the Chana Wolvovsky Bridal Suite will feel Chana’s special touch of elegance and grace on her wedding day. It’s just so Chana. A committee has already met with the staff of the CH Mikvah to draw the plans, and the total cost for this complete renovation and addition, together with supplying an elegant bridal kit to every Kallah who arrives, will be $54,000.

  • tearful Mom

    just looking at the pictures of this and seeing Chanas parents and grandparents sitting there bring tears to my eyes. I am sure not nearly as many as bring tears to their eyes. May Chana be a gutta beter for all.

    I can only remember chana as the most beautiful radiant bride ever.

    building a bridal suite in the mikveh dedicated to her memory is the most appropriate and joyous tribute to her. I hope my family and my granchildren will Iy”h use that bridal suite. it will be my privilege and honor to participate in this fabulous effort. may her memory be blessed forever.

    and raya, may you find comfort in knowing that every kallah will go to their chuppah with chana’s blessings.

  • Help Out

    I heard there was mention there last night regarding renovating the Women’s Mikvah in Crown Heights. If they do it for the men, the Women deserve it too!

    What happened to this girl?I was friend with Zeldy (Raskin)when I was in Beth Rivka 20 years ago I from Brazil and I saw the slides and I saw the picture of ChanaZ“L and she was with her mother and for me she looks like Zeldy’s mother so if ChanaZ”L was her sister I reaaly feel sorry for the family I used to go many shabbs and Pessach by their house such harnassat orchim.That Mashiah comes soon and we all have good news.Miriam(VEXLER)Savoia.

  • 24 year old girl

    i cant wait to use this bridal suite. i am a 24 year old girl. Currently living in crown heights working (my parents are on shlichas) waiting to find my life partner may it happen very soon with Hashem’s help. Chana was a amazing person. i remember she was always smiling and in a good mood!!!When i heard she was no longer was with us i cried like never before how can Hashem take such a precious diamond away from us. Maybe a good idea is to make an organization to help older girls find there bashert.

  • some one never met Chana- unfortunately

    I have never met Chana- but in the pictures her face looks so radiant, so beautiful, truly special. Making a kalla suite in the Mikveh just seems so appropriate from the pics.

    My heart pains so much for her family and husband.
    may they and all of us know only simchas adn revealed good – esp moshiach now!!

  • just a memory

    just a memory
    leving to work on an early morning -running late i might add-and worrying about the principals distaste is not pleasent
    finding out you ran out of the house with the wrong purse can just make things well l not better- what to do?
    well chana wolvosky turned up right behind me….i know you here you seem to be in a rush dont go back use my metro card

    please not i hadnt remembered chana but she remembered walking with her older sister and that her sister said hello to me thus the i know you……
    she reslly did have a special touch my day was definetely looking better already

  • Inspiring Evening!

    Thank you for sharing the audio clip with those that unfortunately could not attend – an inspiring evening. Kol hakovod to all those that put it together. I looking forward to contributing to ChanasTouch, a beautiful and special mitzvah to enhance in her memory. May those that already had the zechus to be a bride, use the opportunity to strength in the mitzvah of taharas hamishpacha. The coming of Moshiach is definitely in the power of us women, lets make it happen NOW!

  • Just another Jew

    What a heartbreak of a story. May Hashem comfort the Raskin and Wolovsky families and bless them with only the best from now on. Ad Mosai
