Rebbetzin Channah Rokach A"H

As Shabbos was ushered out, the sad news reached the public regarding the passing of the righteous Rebbetzin Channah Rokach, wife of the late Admor HaRav Aharon of Belz, who returned her soul to its Maker at the ripe age of ninety-eight. The world lost a great woman whose entire life was permeated with the ancient grandeur of yiras Shomayim and service to Hashem, deeds of charity, a spirit of majesty, exemplary character and middos, the pride of the Belzer dynasty as the wife-helpmate of the exalted tzaddik, the Admor of Belz. Huge crowds in Tel Aviv, Bnei Brak and Yerushalayim, escorted her to her final resting place on Har Hamenuchos, where her revered husband, the Admor, is buried.
