teacher at BR
we lost a special person the last from those times from the friediker rebbe and the early years of the rebbe
i was surprised why so little people came to the levaya
i guess with all that is going on people lost respect for kovod hatorah for rabbonim rabbis and rebbetzins
for all those that did not know besides for giving years and kochos into Beis Rivkah and she donated her house worth of $800,000 to Beis Rivkah which is used as their new dorm
for all those that would want to say thanks and show some respect should go be menachem avel even if you dont know her children
hamokos yenachem eschem bsoch shaar aveili tzion veyerusholayim
Hallo
Honey, The Levaya Passed by the BRHS graduation, so that gives you about 1000 people who did the mitva of halvyas hames…
Do not be so quick to speak.
..............
you know maybe people were bussy and had more important things, i agree it is crazy that not so many people showed up that they were excepting to show up, in the future it would be nice for people to take a little of there time and come to a leviyah, evan if you dont know them, do it for them not for yourself, once in a while you can do a nice mitzvah
