it is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Rebbetzin Chaya Sarah Koledetzky a”h, who passed away at the age of 80.
She was a long-time resident of the Givat Shaul neighborhood and the devoted wife of Rav Zelig Koledetzky, the legendary founder and gabbai of the Chanichei HaYeshivos Shul, Ohel Yonasan.
Her levayah took place today and she was laid to rest at Har HaMenuchos.
Rebbetzin Koledetzky a”h was born on the 21st of Adar in 1945 to her esteemed parents: her father, Rav Shalom Zuckerman zt”l, served as the rav of Moshav Kadima and later as the rov of the Religious Council and neighborhoods Aleph through Gimel in Bnei Brak, and her mother, Rebbetzin Golda Malka a”h, was a daughter of Rav Yisrael Itzik Rabinowitz zt”l, rav of Minsk.
Upon reaching marriageable age, she married her husband Rav Zelig, son of Rav Shachna Koledetzky zt”l, a great talmid chacham and one of the prominent figures in Yerushalayim who was revered by the leading gedolim of the previous generation.
Together with her husband, she built a home of Torah and yiras Shamayim in Givat Shaul.
Rav Zelig was known not only as the long-time gabbai of the Chanichei HaYeshivos Shul, where many of the generation’s gedolim davened, but also as a veteran sofer and safra dedayna at the Rabbinical Court of Yerushalayim.
Rebbetzin Koldetzky was a paragon of dignity and kindness, embodying the words, “Piah pascha b’chochmah v’soras chesed al leshonah.” She greeted others with warmth, compassion, and grace, earning the admiration and love of all who knew her.
She merited to raise generations of bnei Torah and yirei Shamayim. Among her children is Rav Shalom Koledetzky of the Igud Bnei HaYeshivos of Yerushalayim.
The family is sitting shiva at her home, 9 Rechov Amram Gaon Street in Givat Shaul, Yerushalayim.
Yehi zichrah baruch.
