Baruch Dayan Haemes.
Oy, ברוך דיין האמת
This took me by total surprise. Was she sick?
It was probably the corona vaccine that killed her 🙁
is there any hookup to the hespedim?

No she was ill for 2 years.
To commentar “M” actually I believe she was a prominent anti vaxer on all vaccines.
She was also a rare voice of reason against much of the irrational perspective today in medicine. We need more people of her stature to stand up against vaccine and c19 shot frauds.
M-think she was sick for a while, I also don’t believe she took it, she was open minded. What a great loss to us.
M, you’re so wrong! So, so wrong! She, in fact, was on the anti-vaxx side of the debate.
M-
I don’t think she holds by vaccines
she was on a level of bitachon which a regular person isn’t on
She was also very into only healthy natural things
But I may be wrong
I miss her already
I still miss her
And the chachmei yeshiva world have already distilled her life into whether she was pro or anti vaccines.
People!! Stop assuming and spreading rumors! She was old!! For goodness sake!!
