  4. Oy Vey. How sad. She was a very soecial lady. One of the early founders of the Lakewood community. Her mesiras Nefesh for the sake of her husbands torah was amazing. And she was always mechazek other families that were struggling. Yehi Zichrah B’rucha.

  5. Rabbi Yoffe has been a tireless servant of Lakewood since the early years. His wife O”H”shalom and family devoted themselves to all of us. From Bikkur cholim, to the chapel, to the senior citizens, the Yoffes have built the foundation of the community we all benefit from. May her neshamma have the elevated place she deserves.

  6. BD”E. She was mamesh a tzedeikes. The younger generation prabably never heard of her but she was Bikur Cholim before there was a Bikur Cholim. She brought or arranged suppers to kimputurens and helped all over town. All this while her husband continues to serve the klal all day every day. TNZB”H.

  10. Dear rabbi Yoffee,
    Yet this most hardest part of our life. Hashem loves you and bh your children do. My tear and heart is with you. All love and care you had done for your wife and children is amazing. The congregation canon live without you. You kept the fact in shul and Great heart of running back and forth to visit your beloved wife. You gave alots of care for her. May her soul reach gate of greatness. Rabbi this is most hardest test I can feel my heart fill with tears. I cannot say how hard this is.
    Love,
    Mordekhai Globman
