BDE: Mrs. Chaya Margolies, A Link to Yerushalayim of Yore, Levaya in Monsey


YS GOLD 

We regret to inform you of the passing of Mrs. Chaya Margolies, a longtime Boro Park resident and a native of Yerushalayim of yore who retained that old world influence. She was 90 years of age.

The nifteres was the daughter of the great ga'on and tzaddik of Yerushalayim, Rav Shmuel Aaron Yudelevitch, who was a son in law of the great tzaddik Rav Aryeh Levine. Through this, she was a niece of Rav Yosef Sholom Elyashiv and other Gedolim. 

Her husband was Reb Chaim Margolies, z"l, also a native of Yerushalayim. 

As noted, the nifteres retained the chein of Yerushalayim for all her years, never adopting the American mentality. She was known for her warmth in every matter of Yiddishkeit, and had tremendous ahavas Yisroel, always seeking to better the lot of her fellow Yidden, and how to serve Hashem better. 

She leaves this world leaving behind beautiful generations of Chassidim and yirei Shomayim. 

After the passing of her husband, Reb Chaim, z"l, she came to live in Monsey where she passed away Thursday night. 

The levaya will take place in front of the Stoliner Shul in Monsey at 12:30 Friday afternoon. 

Kevurah will be in Eretz Yisroel. 

Yehi zichra baruch.
