By COLlive reporter

Mrs. Faigy Kot, a Chabad Shlucha and educator in the southern Israeli city of Beer Sheva, passed away on Wednesday, 16 Nissan 5784, the first day of Chol Hamoed Pesach (in Israel).

She was 25 and battled an illness.

Together with her husband, she ran the Chabad center in the Shchuna Hei neighborhood, reaching out to Jews from all walks of life and teaching Torah and Mitzvos. She was also worked as a school teacher.

Recently, as she was battling a terrible illness, friends and people from around the world said Tehillim and did Mitzvos in her merit.

“In the school she worked in, she touched everyone,” said her father, Rabbi Shai Sukenik, a Mashpia in the village of Kfar Chabad. “Whatever she did resonated with everyone and transformed lives.”

He said at the levaya that, “In the past year, she encountered so many challenges, and everyone around her, her siblings, didn’t understand where she had all this strength (to remain positive). The entire medical staff, everyone connected with her, with her smile, until the very last moment.”

“On the eve of Pesach, she sat with all her might and participated as much as she could. Throughout this period, we also discovered what a united family we have and how our Kfar Chabad is united, all thanks to her,” he said.

She is survived by her husband Rabbi Mordechai Kot, their 3 young children, her parents and siblings.
