Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin, Director of JEM and brother of Shlucha Henya Federman, has written the following:
It’s less than 24 hours since Henya was laid to rest, and Shabbos is fast approaching.
I asked a friend to compile some of the hundreds of social media posts and comments – each representing another group of lives Henya touched. Feel free to print for Shabbos reading.
On Shabbos we must be happy. I hope this will help you feel inspired, uplifted and joyous.
Thank you for your condolences and your warm wishes. We really appreciate them.
Have a good Shabbos.
