Bnei Brak mourns as woman dies a month after her husband’s sudden death

In Bnei Brak, Herzelia Tzarf died at age 72, exactly on her birthday, about a month after her husband, Rabbi Moshe Tzarf, died suddenly during a grandson’s wedding celebration at Keter HaRimon hall in the city.

The article says the bereavement struck the family and the wider community twice in quick succession. Rabbi Moshe Tzarf had collapsed and died unexpectedly in the middle of the wedding festivities, and now his wife has also “returned her soul to her Creator,” as the report put it.

Tzarf was described as a respected and beloved figure in Bnei Brak, where she lived and was known for more than four decades as a source of kindness, guidance, and practical help. She reportedly advised and instructed thousands of girls and women on family purity and home holiness, in the spirit of traditional Jewish teachings.

Her death left a large void among her extended family, many acquaintances, and her students, whom the report called her spiritual daughters. Funeral arrangements were expected to be announced for a morning burial in Bnei Brak, with the outlet saying it would provide further updates.
