Thousands of Hasidic followers are expected to attend the funeral in Jerusalem on Thursday evening for Rebbetzin Rivka Steinwurtzel-Rabinowitz, a revered figure in the Hasidic world. Her coffin arrived in Israel from the United States, where she passed away Wednesday morning.
The funeral procession is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM from the main Biala synagogue on Yaakovson Street in Jerusalem. It will then proceed at 6:20 PM to the Karlin-Stolin synagogue on Avinoam Yellin Street, before continuing to its final resting place on the Mount of Olives.
Rebbetzin Steinwurtzel-Rabinowitz was the widow of Rabbi Moshe David Steinwurtzel, the former head of the Bobov Yeshiva, and in a second marriage, the widow of the Rebbe, author of 'Mevasher Tov' of Biala. She was also the mother-in-law of the current Rebbe of Karlin-Stolin.
Her passing has cast a pall over the Hasidic community, with many mourning the loss of a significant spiritual leader.
