Shoshana Roth, the widow of Rabbi Eliyahu Roth, a renowned Mashgiach (spiritual supervisor) at Yeshivat Beit Shemaya, passed away overnight at Hasharon Hospital in Petah Tikva. She was 78 years old and died precisely on her birthday. Roth was born on the 12th of Cheshvan to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Brent, a devoted student of the Maharitz Dushinsky. She married Rabbi Eliyahu Roth, who served for many years as the spiritual supervisor and guiding force at Yeshivat Beit Shemaya in Bnei Brak, educating thousands of students and authoring significant works on ethics and child-rearing. Rabbi Eliyahu Roth authored 25 books on ethical texts and Talmudic legends. His wife was a pillar of support, fostering Torah scholarship and the education of their children, known for her noble character and a home that was always open to those in need.
Her husband, Rabbi Eliyahu Roth, passed away 12 years ago after a serious illness at the age of 65. Three years ago, the family experienced another tragedy with the death of their son, Rabbi Aharon Roth, a Rosh Yeshiva at Yeshivat Dvrei Mordechai for youngsters in Bnei Brak, who succumbed to a serious illness at just 50 years old. Shoshana Roth bore her suffering with faith and silence, continuing to inspire her descendants with Torah and reverence for heaven. A wedding for her grandson, the son of Rabbi Aharon Roth, took place yesterday. She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who continue her esteemed legacy.
The funeral procession is scheduled to depart today, Friday, the eve of Shabbat Parshat Lech-Lecha, at 11:30 AM from her home at 18 Giborei Israel Street in Bnei Brak, proceeding to the Ponovezh Cemetery for burial alongside her husband.
