Feiga Tzepora Fisher, the daughter of former Bnei Brak Mayor Moshe Eliyahu Erenstein, passed away in Jerusalem at the age of 74 after a difficult illness. She was known for her noble character, stemming from a home dedicated to Torah, kindness, and warmth.
Fisher was married to Ben Zion Fisher, a prominent figure in the Belz Hasidic community. Together, they established a family based on Torah and Hasidism. Her father, Rabbi Erenstein, was instrumental in establishing the first building for the Belz community's "Beit Malka" in Bnei Brak to educate his granddaughters.
The couple lived in Bnei Brak for decades, where she was recognized as an esteemed and active community member. They recently moved to Jerusalem, settling into their new home in Kiryat Belz shortly before the recent Sukkot holiday.
The family endured significant hardships, including the earlier deaths of Fisher's mother, Yafa, and her young daughter-in-law, Sarah Fisher, who died at 35, leaving behind five young children. Fisher herself faced a recent serious illness, which she bore with faith and quiet acceptance until her passing.
She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who continue in the path of Torah and Hasidism. Her funeral took place on Thursday evening in Bnei Brak, with burial in the Vizhnitz cemetery.
