let this be a wakeup call for all of us & gantz klal yisroel to start thinking & caring of everyone in klal yisroel & not only be struck by sadness, only when things happen to people we know. MAY HER NESHAMA HAVE AN ALIYAH
Oy my dear friend Chesky! We are all grieving my eyes are full of tears. You are such a good person always willing to help everybody. You spent so much time helping with any real estate questions. We remember how you opened your office for Mincha and offered your expertise. This is a Tzoras Rabbim but for some reason you were chosen. Darkei Hashem Nistorim. Let us all be Nissorer for the approaching Yom Hakodesh. Oy so much darkness it is hard to
believe.
May Hashem be with you!
Chesky, you and your family are great people. I can’t think of a single person who doesn’t like you. You raise money for tzedokos, are a big ba’al chesed, make time for people, are very forgiving, very pleasant and you almost always have a smile on your face.
I didn’t know your wife because I only saw her on a very few occasion, but the news brought me to tears on your behalf.
I hope the Rbsh”o gives you the strenghth to continue being the wonderfuly exceptional person you’ve been until now.
We love you Chesky!
Saying that Shalva was an amazing person is only a drop in the bucket to what she really was. Her husband and children were so lucky to have such an incredible person in their lives. May she be melitiz yosher to all of Klal Yisroel an to everyone who loves her.
Dear chesky with tears running down I tell you that you’re tzar is evreyones tzar you are the finest people I know I had the zechus to do some work for you.. May hahsehm releive us all from this horrible golus vesechezenuh eneinu with our very own eyes bekorov mamash!!
doesn anyone know if there will be away to hear the Levaya.
Does anyone know will Shiva be going to Sukkahs or will it end tomorow
Shivah ends tomorrow and Shloshim ends by Succos
The Shiva will end tomorrow.
wake up people. stop writing to him cuz hes not reading this blog. talk to each other how WE should try and make every day like yom kippur. no sinas chinum, no lashon haRAH NO TALKING BY DAVENING, kavannah in brachos and asher yaztar, no llooking at things were not supposed to, etc then hashem will see that it means something,. the halacha is that the day after yom kippur we start to daven earlier as not to give pischon peh to suuton . just a mashal what about the rest of the day? back to pre yamim noraim ? chas vshalom. may her nshama be a mailiz yosher for her family and all of lkwd and all oklal yisroel.
is there any way to link up to the levaya to hear the hespedim? please advise….
Shalva=PEACE
Let us join together for our own “peace plan” – and peace will bring Mashiach.
Peace among family members, peace among neighbors, peace in our shuls and schools, peace in our communities.
My sister Shalva was the most warm hearted, loving, happy, amazing person in the world and she made anyone and everyone feel like they were her family and took care of them if they needed a hot shower or meal …anything anyone needed was done with a smile no matter how sick she was feeling… u wouldnt know…she sure fooled me a few times,
I will never forget it. She was funny and full of life and even when she was so sick she would make believe all was well because she didn’t want to scare me or her children or anyone for that matter. Shalva was someone to learn from in every way of living. She would take her shirt off her back to help someone if that’s what was needed. I am so blessed to have been her sister and to have known such a special soul. She was my big sister and role model and i don’t know what I’m going to do without her…. i love her to no end…there are no words to explain the heart ache i feel for her every day . All i want is for people to live life to the fullest just like she did… be strong and live every day like its your last…we can only learn from her and keep her name and great sense of humor alive. I wish you all the best and you should all live happy and healthy lives.
