Rebbetzin Batsheva Silberstein of Antwerp Belgium, passed away shabbos morning after a long illness. She was 80.
Rebbetzin Silberstein OBM and her husband sheyichye, were the 1st Lubavitcher family in Antwerp after the war, they established the 1st Chabad house that serves there until this day.
Rebbetzin Silberstein OBM had an incredibly close relationship with the Rebbe to the point where she had yechidus’n well after the yechidus era ended.
She has many baalei tshuva around the globe, she particularly worked with Russian immigrants throughout the years for which she received many kiruvim and directives from the Rebbe.
Her levaya was held Sunday in Antwerp, and she was interred in Israel on Har HaZaisim.
Her children are, Rebbetzin Risha Slavatici shlucha, Antwerp. Rabbi Yossi Silberstein OBM, Montreal. Rabbi Eli Silberstein shliach, Ithaca, NY. Rebbetzin Masha Vogel, shlucha, Rochester, NY. And Zelig Silberstein of Antwerp.

Very sad. She was a very warm and wonderful lady. She was able to turn things toward goodness with few kind words. My family owed her a lot. Above all, she educated her children with true love for Torah and Rebbe. There are Talmidei Chachomim who are caring out Shlichus of The Rebbe with true messsirut nefesh.
She will be deeply missed.

SHE WAS MAKING COPIES TO BRING JEWISH LADIES TO LIGHT SJABBES CANDLES
FULL OF FIRE SHE TOLD ME IT WAS TO BRING MOSHIACH
