Thank you for allowing me the intense satisfaction of experiencing a true Dugma Chayah when I lived by you all those years ago in Seminary.
My reactions to life’s everyday battles would have been easier had I paid attention to your solutions.
You always had a saying “so do it!’ and I will do it.
I always admired your ladylike ways and I hope to emulate them.
Thank you Sarah for the pleasure of having known you,
Rivka
Sarah could make anyone dance and smile and forget their worries, it was a blessing to be in her presence. I hope our family finds peace in our hearts over time… it is a tremendous loss.

I will miss her as a neighbor. I have such good memories of her… From saying welcome to our block to letting me in as a child if my mother or father wasn’t in.. Also just saying hi with her big smile was just like a free day booster. She was always so welcoming to her house…She was such a gem and a sweet lady. It’s so sad she had to go .. I was wishing everyday she would stay alive to see her kids get married. But I guess god wants differently. May she go straight up to highest… Read more »

no words ill write can express this:(
a very special aunt, very sharp yet very kind.
the closest someone described her is :
classy, kind, regal woman inside and out, will be greatly missed,. but Sara’s children are all outstanding ,she raised them all to be kind, sensitive, beautiful people
i too had the honor of working with morah sara, bde may we know of no more suffering.
its unreal
I remember she was so focused. As a kid I remember thinking she has no Yetzer Horah. If there was one thing she would tell me most “be a chassidisher brochur”, She was like a constant Farbrengen. A truly wonderful person, so kind, so wise. To Uncle Ari, Avremel, Levi, Chani, Shmuly, Mendy, Zeldy & Boruch Sholom. Hamokom Yinachem Eschem… Moshiach now!
I had the privelege of working together in a classroom as team teachers in Beis Rivkah. Even though i. Was younger sara took so much interest in my children and their day to day development. She always had a positive outlook in life and she always told me that one should never complain about trivial things, but one should be thankful for their health! Sara u were my dear friend and colleage and i will miss u so much$ please storm the heavens and beg hashem for moshiach, we can not suffer any more!

My condolences for this tragedy, I had the pleasure to be a guest on sukkos and was impressed with how humble she was, and what a strong personality she had. We did not know each other but she was a wonderful host and did everything to make me feel comfortable.

we will all miss you
moshiach should come now!!
I did’nt actually know Mrs. Blesofsky, but I’m reading such amazing things about her, and I feel I just want to add how deeply sorry I am for the family; they sound like wonderful people! Her sons singing is beautiful, in my family we always listen to him; My heart goes out to them all’
Hashem should give them all the strength to continue and survive this heartbreak and may they know of no further ‘tzarr’ ever again;
We need Moshiach so badly, please Hashem, please.

may you only have simchos from now on and may you be reunited with her in the days of moshiach
my thoughts are with the family, may Hashem comfort you and from now on show you only revealed good.

To our dear Sholom Ber and entire family,
We are so sorry and are with you in your pain. May we share only Simcha and Nachas always.
Moshiach Now!!!
hk & Family
As a fellow teacher I would always pass her in the hallway and never knew she was ill. Such a refined and friendly woman. So shocked to read this on col today.
Why are we losing such fine people?
I know of too many teachers in BR that have been hit with the machlah.
Mrs. Blesofsky or Morah Sara as she was more affectionately known by all of her beloved students, will surely be missed.
Even after graduating from her preschool class, Morah Sara would always say “Hi” and share her warm smile whenever we crossed paths. As they say, “All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten.” Morah Sara has definitely taught us great lessons in life that are sure to stay with us forever.
BDM
Sara was a beautiful person inside and out.
She suffered quietly, never admitting that anything was wrong.
She had real dignity and true “yiddishe chein”.

she most likely did not know my name, but would talk to me when I would see her on Kingston Av, always lively and a nice word to say to me….
So many special memories of my dear sweet aunt! She was always smiling , always making us feel good and danced in the kitchen with us whenever she visited!! I have such great memories of her , growing up with her and learning from her regal manner! She was such a graceful lady, so elegant and so tzniusdik! What a legacy!!
My condolences
so sorry to hear of your loss Levi (and family) may you only have simchos from now on.

Boruch Dayen Emes- She was a real tzadeikis and an Isha tznuah!! Our hearts and Prayers are with you!
