Mourning the Loss of an Extraordinary Woman

This Torah class is brought to you by Torahanytime.com

Last week Kali Israel lost an extraordinary woman

Malka Galdar, Basra Beliyohu, Allahu Shalaam

She was an anxious Kyle in every sense of the word

The embodiment of dignity and devotion

A woman of deep humility, her fine character, and boundless generosity

She built a home of Torah and Hasith

She uplifted everyone around her

At the labaiya, her husband shared the remarkable story

that captures who she truly was

A few months ago, her Macatana made a wedding in Israel

and her children needed help preparing for the wedding

Despite being weak and exhausted

She gathered her remaining Cochis

and traveled from New York to your Shalaiam for a week to assist them

When she returned home, her husband asked her

While you were in Israel, did you visit anywhere at the bottom to ask for a brother?

And she said no

Did you go to Macatana's adoration to Daven?

She said no

But we so desperately need a Yeshua

And she said, I don't understand

I didn't go for myself, I went to help others

This story encapsulates who she was

A true giver, she lived her life in service of others

That truly no worse to describe the enormity of this loss

Let me share with you a letter I read recently from a man

who went to be Menachem Abel a young bacher who lost his mother

And I'll paraphrase

About 25 years ago, a student that disheve his rough at Schaim in Queens

lost his mother suddenly at a young age

So together with several friends, he traveled from Queens to Brooklyn to be Menachem Abel

He arrived at her home, and as you can imagine

The atmosphere in the home was heavy with sorrow

The groups struggled to find the right words to comfort Davela

After some time, they approached the mourners

They resided at Macamirachem Escham and headed for the door

Just as they were leaving, they noticed someone entering the home

It was the venerable Repdovit Feinstein's at cell

The group toured right around and followed Repdovit back inside the home

Hoping to observe what words of comfort he would offer in such a painful situation

Repdovit sits down in front of the mourners

And he says absolutely nothing

He joined in their sorrow, he expressed his grief, but he remained silent

His presence alone conveyed profound empathy

His silence brought genuine comfort to the family

Repdovit taught the group an essential principle

Contrary to common belief, Nechema Velam does not require eloquent speeches or explanations

Simply being present and sharing in the pain can bring immense consolation

As Repdovit prepared to leave, one of Davela said to him

An earlier visitor suggested that since our mother passed away young

It must mean that she accomplished in a short time

But would normally take others many decades

Repdovit responded

We can't propose theories to explain Hashem's actions

Kiloimak Shavoysemak Shavoysechem

Vloyderechem Deroche

My thoughts are not your thoughts and my ways are not your ways

We cannot begin to understand Hashem's Hashem's kindness

Likewise, we cannot understand how such an anxious Kyle

A woman who devoted her life to teaching and educating the next generation

Who raised the family of Tamide Khachama

A giver of the highest caliber could be taken from us in the prime of our life

What happened to all that feel us?

What happened to all the Kabbalas?

And yet, despite the heartache and the sorrow, we move forward with Amuna

Because at the end of the day, we believe with complete conviction

That Hashem knows exactly what he's doing

And that all that Hashem does is ultimately for our benefit

Sometimes we see it immediately, sometimes it takes years

And sometimes we may not see it in our lifetime

But we believe with full faith, Kiyata Shumayat Filas Kalpah

Hashem here is every prayer and note, filah goes to waste

And with that, I'd like to share with you a powerful story

In 1976, the Great Rasishiva of Schwul Burm Baam Zatsel

Suffered the devastating loss

His son, Derb Arulab, a great Tamid Khachama

Who was being groomed to become the next Rasishiva

Was accidentally shot in its Israel and passed away

He left behind the young Al-Mana and a house full of little children

After the Laba'ire, Schwul came to his son's home to Sitchiva

We could hardly imagine the heartbreaking scene of a Alterized Aida

Sitting shib with Yogi Simon

The air was thick, the home was full of pain and sorrow

The walls were practically crying

Derb Schwul turns to his grandchildren and he says

Kindle-lach, I want to share with you a part

We know that when Yitzhak Gavina grew old, he became blind

Do you know why?

Sarash explains that when Yitzhak lay on the Mizbeach

During the Akhadeh

But Eusash shot Nifte Khuh Hashemayat

At that moment, the heavens opened up

And the Malachem saw what was happening below

Yitzhak was about to get slaughtered and they started to cry

And their tears fell into Yitzhak's eyes

Causing his blindness later in life

Her shul asked, Kindle-lach, why did the heavens need to open up?

Malachem can see right through everything

Right through all the worlds, right through all the barriers

Sir Schwul explained

From Shemaiam, events are viewed very differently than from this world

But looks tragic and unbearable down here

Maybe seen above as the greatest joy

The Akhadeh, which was agony in this world

Was a moment of immense Semaiam

In fact, we are still reaping the benefits of Akhadeh's Yitzhak to this very day

So the Malachem needed the heavens to open up

So they could feel what Aram and Yitzhak felt

To experience the pain of a serious nephage of human beings

And only then could they cry

Her shul then said, Kindle-lach, down here it is very painful

Tatis no longer with us

Descrying, this grief, their sorrow

But if we had heavenly eyes

We would see that in Shemaiam, there's dancing and Semaiam

Unfortunately, we don't have those eyes

The heavens are closed

So down here, we must sitchiva

This past week, we mock a gold debaust Rabaliyah's family and friends

We're crying and grieving over our loss

The heavens rejoiced when such a precious Nishama entered the Eulama Amos

It's a beautiful deal from Khangshma Levits

He says, when we comfort mourners, we say, Hamakum, you knock him as Kham

As Shem should comfort you

He asks, why do we use the name Hamakum as opposed to any of the other names used to describe Akhen?

He says something remarkable

Hamakum does not refer to Akhen Mabahir

The word mockum in this context literally means the place

Hamakum, you knock him as Kham means the place that the nifter or nefteris created for themselves in Ganaden

By as Shem giving them their reward for all that they have accomplished in this world

That mockum, that place in Ganaden, will be the biggest consolation for them for having to leave this world

And knowing that she earned her rightful mockum

should be the greatest comfort to those who mourn her

May she be a Melitsa Siaysha for our family and for all of Khayisra
