In Tachanun it says: “U’vchol Zois Shimcha lo Shochuchnu, Na Al Tishkacheinu” meaning Throughout this long and dreary Golus when we were the laughingstock of the Goyim , We were like sheep being led to the slaughterhouse, but throughtout All of This Your Name we have not forgotten! Please now, DO NOT FORGET US!! We are your children, and we need your embrace! Bring Moshiach NOW!!

She really was special.

Dear Shaina,
December 22, 2011 10:19 pm

You had such grace about you. Its so hard to believe you’re not with us. You are in our hearts forever.

I’m sorry for all you went through. I know it’s Hashem’s will, but it’s just so hard to comprehend.

we love you so much!

Shayna was a beautiful woman. She came in to teach us everyday, a smile worn accross her face. The warmth and love that she had for Chassidus was radiant. She taught us lessons and showed us a reason to live. Today, she was taken from us, to a world for her to have no suffering. I love you Shayna. May we all merit the comming of Moshiach and not suffer. Moshiach NOW!

I have such warm memories of Shayna. Her smile, her grace, her perseverance, her charm and her endearing personality. We’ll miss her so much! She was such a special girl.

Dear Tzameret, my heart goes out to you at this incredibly difficult time. You are a shining star, and a role model to so many. Hashem should give you only simchos forever. I hope you will somehow find solace. May Hashem comfort you among the mourners of Tzion and Yerushalayim.

Hashem, Ad masai?!?! Please bring Moshiach now. And bench your children with only good and Simchos.
