The Jewish community in Phoenix, Arizona, is doing everything it can for Sashie Levertov, a local educator battling leukemia after a February diagnosis. Many women are reciting portions of Psalms in the merit of her recovery, baking challah and lighting Shabbat candles, while children at Levertov’s Aleph Bet Preschool and Kindergarten have made quilts and offered prayers using the Chabad-Lubavitch emissary’s Hebrew name, Sasha bat Bluma.
