A large throng accompanied Rebbetzin Shlmotza (Sylvia) Ludmir
o"h on her last earthly journey motzei Shabbos
parshas Acharei Mos-Kedoshim. Rebbetzin Ludmir, an
eishes chayil, was the wife of R' Mordecahi Zeidel
Ludmir, a prominent Boyaner chossid, and the daughter of the
famous R' Yisroel Aryeh Margolios, the Admor of Parmishlan-
London, and a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah.
Rebbetzin Ludmir was born 67 years ago in London. In the
illustrious home of her parents, which stems from the
Parmishlan and Rophschitz stock and dates all the way back to
the Besht, she imbibed her outstanding character traits and
devotion to Torah. In this same spirit, she built her own
home, along with her husband, to whom she dedicated herself
with every fiber of her soul. Her daily schedule included
many acts of chessed, which she performed on a
voluntary and permanent basis.
A few months ago, she fell ill, yet accepted her pains and
suffering with love and silence, and with utter trust in
Hashem. On Shabbos kodesh, at twilight, she returned
her pure soul to its Maker, while reciting Shma
Yisroel. Her family and many acquaintances deeply bemoan
the great loss.
Her levaya was attended by large thong, headed by the
Admor of Boyan. Hespedim were delivered by the rosh
yeshiva of the Boyaner yeshiva, HaRav Fischel Rabinowitz,
and her relatives, HaRav Yosef Efrati, HaRav Azriel Zelig
Weinberg, as well as her son-in-law, HaRav Yoel Struch, who
described her unique character, and parted from her with
tears.
She is survived by her husband, and by an upright generation,
which is following in her footsteps.
