Tomorrow afternoon, our dear friend Rebbetzin Ellen Fischer z”l (חנה אסתר בת חיים ראובן ) will be laid to rest in Eretz Yisrael in the Rabbinical Council of America section of the Eretz Hachaim Cemetery. To properly mourn, to appreciate the loss from a death, one needs to know something about the departed. That is the purupose of a hesped, a Jewish eulogy--to publicize to the community the significance of the loss.
To that end, here is a link to an article written by Ellen, entitled "Carpe Kiruv," published just one year ago to the day, in Orange County Jewish Life http://jlifeoc.com/carpe-kiruv/.
And here below is a photo of Ellen, with the smile that all of us who knew her remember, and indeed do not remember ever seeing her without it.
May her memory be for a blessing. May Rabbi Dov Fischer be comforted among the other mourners for Zion and Jerusalem.
