It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Mrs. Leah Rieder a”h, a devoted wife and mother, whose life was marked by quiet strength, deep emunah, and unwavering dedication to her family. She was niftar after a prolonged illness.

Mrs. Rieder was the beloved wife of Reb Shmuel Yosef Rieder, senior board member of Agudath Israel of America.

She was known to all who encountered her as a woman of grace, dignity, and sincerity. She carried herself with humility, yet her presence left a lasting impression on those around her.

As a wife, she stood steadfastly at her husband’s side, supporting his communal involvement and tzorchei tzibbur with encouragement. Her role behind the scenes was one of partnership and devotion, enabling him to contribute to the broader needs of Klal Yisroel.

Above all, she was a deeply devoted mother, whose life revolved around her children. She invested herself fully in their upbringing, nurturing them with warmth, patience, and a strong sense of values rooted in Torah and yiras Shamayim. Her home was a place of warmth, where every detail reflected her thoughtfulness and commitment.

Those who knew her speak of a woman of quiet kindness, someone who was always ready to listen, to help, and to give. Her sensitivity to others and her natural refinement made her a source of comfort and strength to many.

Her passing leaves a profound void not only within her family but among all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The levayah is scheduled to take place on Sunday at 12:00 p.m. at JFK Airport, El Al Cargo, 75 North Hangar Road, Cargo Bay 14.

Tehei nishmasah tzerurah b’tzror hachaim.
