Boruch Dayan Hoemes – Mrs. Sara Junik OBM

With sadness we inform you of the passing of Mrs. Sara Junik OBM (82) of Montreal, wife of Meir Yechezkel Junik OBM.

She was the daughter of R’ Shmuel Notik, of whom the Rebbe Rashab said, “He is one of my true chassidim”. She was imprisoned at the age of 17 years for several years together with her parents, because of her father’s Rabbinical position. She married R’ Meir Junik, who passed away 6 months ago, who was also imprisoned for 9 long years due to his Yiddishkeit. She remained behind the Iron Curtain where she married and raised her children to the highest levels of Chasidishkeit.

While there, the Rebbe gave her brother in law, Rabbi Berel Junik many blessings and Havtochos to ensure that Reb Meir & Sara with their family would be released from Russia.

They then moved to Montreal, Canada, to live near her father in law, the prominent chossid, Rabbi Naftoli Junik.

She is survived by her children Chaya Tzirel Druk (Detroit, MI), Berel (Crown Heights), Shmuel (Brooklyn, NY), and Aaron (Crown Heights), along with grandchildren, and great-grand children of which many are Shluchim.

The Levaya will take place today and will be leaving from the Shomrei Hadaas Chapels at 2:15pm, and passing by 770 at around 3:00pm
