'Bar Mitzvah' In Honor of Chaya

 Dear Members of Anash, 

In light of this week, the evening will be as poignant as it is celebratory.

The Bar Mitzvah of Kol Yakov Yehuda is more than anything else a celebration of the life of each and every Diamond that attends the minyan for the "Rebbe's Diamond Daveners" on a weekly, monthly and annual basis.

As mentioned this is a celebration of life. The pain is still raw and the wound is still fresh, but to paraphrase from Sunday night in the words of  Rabbi Ezra Schochet, Rosh  Yeshiva YOEC and Chaya's Zaidy,  the way to move forward is by trying to emulate a Middah of  Chaya Mushka bas Reb Menachem Mendel V'Haddasah Sheina.

She was the life of every Kol Yakov Yehuda Ezras Noshim event, be it Shabbos davening or otherwise, and for this reason we will celebrate and come together to commemorate at the Bar Mitzvah of Kol Yakov Yehuda.

We are excited that more than 150 of our "Diamonds" have signed up; we hope to give them a truly memorable evening.

May we continue to share many more Bar Mitzvah's and simchas for years to come.

Yours,
