In Her Honor

What is being done in her memory

A challah bake, a class, a mitzvah taken on — share a photo and a few words, and add to the light being gathered in Raizel’s name.

JGR girls are baking Raizel’s recipes with aprons that say Raizel’s Kitchen of Kindness.

At our camp for Shluchim’s children in Sweden there is a sign in the kitchen dedicating the meals to Raizel.

Hi Nechama! It’s adelle bryski I really was so impacted from the loss of your daughter Raizel. Although I never knew her I just couldn’t stop thinking about the tragedy. The pain. My nephew was born September and he’s been mainly living in the hospital until now, IYH in a couple of weeks he’ll do an open heart surgery. Since the beginning we started an initiative to bake challah for him.. we try to get 40 sign ups every week to bake in honor of him. A few weeks ago I decided to bake Raizel’s recipe for him. I can’t explain it but I just felt good that I’m doing a double type of mitzvah. Using Raizel’s recipe so she can live on and hoping to increase my nephews refuah. Not to mention, it tastes delicious and every time I used other recipes it felt hard but this one felt easy and fast. I hope this brings you comfort❤️ Good shabbos!

Volunteered in Raizel’s Kitchen of Kindness. Remembering how Raizel was so helpful and hospitable I enjoyed being a part of the wonderful Laber family. I feel content here and peaceful. Raizel’s memory is a blessing. I am grateful to continue her legacy in this kitchen of kindness!

I was invited to a July 4th BBQ with friends and everyone was expected to contribute . I posted on the group chat asking if there was anyone who couldn’t afford to contribute they should let me know. A friend replied who was sick and needed food brought to her. She also didn’t have the money to pay. I delivered the BBQ food to her house in Raizel’s memory.

At the Jewish Girls Retreat our amazing kitchen staff Yael, Sharon and Toba baked 3 batches of Challah on a fast day. I helped shape them the way I taught Raizel and she perfected them. We each took a batch to say the bracha LHafrish challah and prayed. We felt Raizel’s energy with us. I wish we could show her that our kitchen is following her recipes and menu that she worked so hard to create. She was in tune with what girls like to eat. We miss you Raizel!

I say Tehillim for Raizel's neshama every day, praying that she should keep rising closer and closer to Hashem's light and Emes, that she should be surrounded by her loved ones in Shomaim, and that she should return to her guf immediately now with Moshiach, Geulah, and T'chias Hameisim!!!

My husband learned the whole Mishnah of Keilim for her Shloshim.

Raizel, in your honor we are Biezras Hashem starting a weekly women's trust circle next Monday, journeying through "Build Bitachon." May the learning and connection and strengthened Bitachon of the ladies bring you much joy.

For several days, I recited the bracha "borei atzei v'samim" when smelling aromatic roses blooming on very special rose bushes planted in the garden by my beloved father A"H. I chose to recite this bracha for Raizel A"H because her name means rose. I also included Tinok HaCohen ben Raizel for a refuah shelayma. Last erev Shabbos, I sent out an email with Shabbat greetings, humor, divrei Torah, and chizuk to several people, which included dedications to Raizel bat Avraham Dovid A"H and Tinok HaCohen ben Raizel.
