The funeral procession for Esther Gita Dinar, a pious young woman, was marked by profound grief as her father and grandfather delivered emotional eulogies. Her father, Rabbi Michael Shalom Dinar, a rabbi at the 'Torah B'Tif'ereth' and 'Hamad' yeshivas, spoke of the twenty years of joy his daughter brought him. He expressed gratitude to God for the gift of her life, stating, "The Lord gave, and the Lord took away; blessed be the name of the Lord." He emphasized that their questions were not about why she was taken, but rather why they were blessed with such a special gift and a soul of such great stature. He described her as a precious gift taken from their home, but felt a sense of privilege in returning such a pure soul to God, who gave her without sin and who took her without sin. He noted that she passed away shortly after Yom Kippur, having lost consciousness and suffered. Her grandfather, Rabbi Yehuda Aryeh Dinar, the chief rabbi of Bnei Brak, also spoke, highlighting her purity and calling her an "unblemished offering."
