    What a tragedy! Leaving a new-born motherles–I can’t think of anything worse for that helpless infant. May Hashem see them through these dark days.

    WHY, Hashem?

    So sad: A newborn baby looses its mother, as well as our entire family of shluchim and shluchos are loosing a sister.

    Ad Mosai!

  • Devastated

    I’ve been saying tehillim and davenning for Esther Aidel bas Shaindel Rochel, since that day that we first heard the terrifying news. . . so so many of us were. . . when the news came through today we were devastated for you all. . . shocked beyond words. . . there just are’nt any words that one can say . . . the world is with you at this time of your most tragic loss. . . . Now , all we can pray for is that Moshiach comes NOW. . . because everytime we think it just cannot get any worse. . . it gets worse;
    I don’t know any of the family. . . but my heart goes out to you totally;
    Hamokom Yeracheim . . . .

    This is so terrible, rebbe please help and bring moshiach now!
    The cohens are such a nice family, and their kids are such amzaing kids, and there is a chohen wedding this week.
    Hashem how could you do this to them???
    Please bring moshiach now!

  • Dovid

    The tears don’t stop flowing. It’s hard to find enough words to describe this wonderful family. No one deserves to experience such a terrible tragedy. If you want to see Emes Avodas Hashem, Chassidishkiet and pure warmth, the Cohens are your one stop shop.

    Hashem should bless the entire family with only Simchas in the future.

  • Hashem, AD MOSAI???????????????????

    AD MOSAI????????????????????????????????
    AD MOSAI????????????????????????????????
    AD MOSAI????????????????????????????????
    ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why?

    Why must Hashem do this to a family who’s only mission is to spread Yiddishkeit and bring Jews back from the depths of assimilation?
    Why must Hashem do this to a child who will now never know his mother?
    Why must Hashem do this to a husband who has lost his partner, his soul mate, his other half?
    Why must Hashem do this to a parent, who now has the tragedy of burying a child?

    Ad Mosai Hashem!
    Ad Mosai!

    Baruch Dayan HaEmes.
    Only good things.
    Moshiach Now!

    the picture is exactly as I remember her always with a smile

    In the zechus that her neshama gets the ultamate aliya-Neshama Be’guf Lemate…- and for the pure Neshamos that are left waiting for Moshiach
    my hachlata is to try to see the good in the little annoying and irritating things that way maybe I’ll have a smile on my face more like Esty A”H always did

  • oiy .... what a tragedy

    also the rubin family is having a chasuna soon…. – i think
