Prominent Rabbi's Wife Hannah Rotenberg Passes Away After Illness

By כיכר השבת, חיים רוזנבוים
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Hannah Rotenberg, wife of Rabbi Isaiah Pinchas Rotenberg, passed away recently after a prolonged and difficult illness. She was known for her dedication to commemorating the Holocaust and for her extensive work in Torah scholarship and acts of kindness.

During her suffering, Rotenberg reportedly endured her pain in silence to avoid causing distress to her elderly mother. Her funeral was scheduled to take place in Jerusalem on the evening of the report.

Her passing was announced with the traditional Jewish phrase "Baruch Dayan Ha'Emet," acknowledging God as the true judge, a common expression upon hearing of a death.
