What a Baalas-Tzedaka! Many her memory be for a blessing!
I think the Hebrew date of Sep 5th 1968 is 12 Elul not 5 Elul.
Will there be any transportation from Lakewood?
Sorry. I meant to ask if there will be any transportation from Lakewood to the cemetery on the Yahrtzeit. The ad didn’t say.
Worth reading the article in Mishpacha Magazine about her!
One of the best articles I’ve ever read!

I know someone that has a letter by Rav Elchonon Wasserman with his stamp as well to Persia Miller.
