We regret to inform you of the Petira of Mrs. Yaffa Rosenthal A”H, who was Niftarah today following an illness. She was 60. Mrs. Rosenthal A”H was involved in various Chassodim her entire life, and most notable for being the author of one of the first full-color Jewish children’s books named Mizvos We Can Do, and subsequently Thank You Hashem – the first of the Artscroll youth series books).
The Nifteres had three children in Lakewood, including Yisrael Meir (Ira) Rosenthal – Chestnut, Avi Rosenthal – Raintree, and Lebbie Schonbrun – Raintree.
The levaya will be taking place at 10:30 AM Wednesday morning at the Midwood Chapels (Ave M & Coney Island Ave) in Brooklyn, and the Kevura and smaller Levaya will take place at approximately 2 PM at the 7th Street Chapel in Lakewood.
Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Bde, May the family have a nechama.
She was a very special person. This is a true loss for klal Yisroel!
Where is shiva?
I know the sons very well – they are all amazing boys!
Shiva will be at 1424 Avenue R. Brooklyn, NY.
Rabbi Rosenthal has a chair and table gemach which he runs with such care for the borrower. I have shiurim in my home many times and have borrowed chairs from him at least a dozen times, or more. Each time it is as if I was doing him a favor. Sometimes it only works out to pick up the chairs late, he will never turn me down, even though he wakes up to daven k’vasikin.
