It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rebbetzin Esther Waxman a”h. She was 91 years old.
Rebbetzin Waxman was a daughter of Reb Mordechai Bruks and grew up in Williamsburg.
She was the wife of Rav Hershel Waxman, rosh kollel of Beth Medrosh of Monsey. Throughout their married life, the rebbetzin was wholly devoted to her husband, allowing him to be involved in harbotzas haTorah and assisting in the running of his kollel.

Mispallelim arriving at a Bnei Brak shul Tuesday morning discovered the Aron HaKodesh was broken into and four sifrei Torah were stolen. A fifth Sefer Torah had been thrown on the floor, along with a sefer nevi’im.
“We’re in shock, we don’t understand what happened here, we have no direction,” the gabbai told Kikar Shabbos. “It seems like the thieves knew where they were. They knew which scrolls they wanted, they left the not-so-nice old one, they left the sefer nevi’im on the floor. A thief who’s not familiar with it would have taken everything.”

Early this morning, the Jewish nation lost a giant, Reb Shlomo Cheshin zt”l, a tzaddik with whom I merited to have a close relationship since the early days of my youth. It is with a broken heart and tear-filled eyes that I write these words of tribute and reflection about a singular figure whose passing has left a gigantic hole in the heart of our nation.
 
While a google search of this tzaddik’s name yields no results and his renown reached only a limited demographic, Reb Shlomo Cheshin zt”l was well known to many broken souls whose lives he singularly transformed. Who was this remarkable man, and what is his legacy?

If you listen closely, you can hear the anticipation in the air.
The march towards the final Hadran of the 13th Daf Yomi cycle continues onward, with members of klal yisroel of all ages joining together in an unprecedented wave of hasmadah, delving deeply into the waters of Torah as the Global Siyum HaShas of Daf Yomi draws near.  Buoyed by the excitement of this historic event, thousands have jumped headfirst into new Siyum learning initiatives to expand Limud HaTorah, with a senior delegation of Agudah dignitaries recognizing Riverside Abstract for its partnership in these impactful Torah programs at a special June 3rd celebration.

Dear Klal Yisroel,
I come to you with a broken heart and a broken soul. I write this with tears streaming down my face. I have a 26 year old brother, a young father of two who is suffering from a rare and aggressive illness r”l. He is currently battling stage four cancer and is fighting for his life. He has undergone months of excruciatingly painful treatments of all types. At this point, the doctors are running out of options. However, there is one final trial that they are willing to try, which they believe can save his life.
