It mamash brings up the pain of her Hailiger husband’s petirah as well.
She is the mother of our kehilla and nebech suffered for so many years.
Her great grandson got married last night in Bes Medresh and we now turn over those same benches on which we danced.

Yehai Zichruh Burich.
My heart aches. This is a monumental loss. To the family: We in the Bobover kehila share in your pain.
Even though the Rebitzen was was sick for a while, she thwarted the malach hamaves time and again.

I am picturing R’ Shlomo with his calm smile, coming out to greet his Rebbitzen in the Olem Haemes.
May she be a melitha yeshara.
B”H the wedding isn’t tonight
I can’t belive it I was there last night people were so happy
anyone know her age?
ImuShteig, it says she was 84 years old.
ImustShteig you should change your name to ImustRead – the answer is in the original article
so ImustShteig missed where it says her age.. my goodness..
emesvyatziv,that’s not funny …it’s sad.don’t hurt anyones feelings.
actualiy I heard she was 90
I am not trying to be smart, but can someone answer this..
Being that the livaya was on 48th Street, did the Rebbe from 45th and his chassidim get to go to the livaya as well?
Yochi The 45th Reebe went he was at the corner of 16th ave with his group.
Baruch dayan Haemes.
Yochi, the pictures actually don’t even show R’ Benzion, only R’ MD Ungar.
Yochi, sorry, they’ve obviously changed the pics since friday.
she was 90 (everyone saying that she was 84 is from her birth certificate but like most of the old people her certificate was fake)
Maybe it’s time now for Bobov “Peace”, so that the Rebitzen could bring the good news of ‘Peace’ to her husband the Great Reb Shlomo ZT”L onto next world.
