Sasha Hirsch, a respected figure within the Belz Hasidic community, passed away in Jerusalem on Monday at an advanced age, having lived a life full of good deeds. She built her home alongside her husband, Chaim Hirsch, a senior Belz Hasid in Bnei Brak, who dedicated many years to supporting the community's Talmud Torah children and fostering generations of devout individuals. Together, they raised their children in the ways of Torah and Hasidism.
