by COLlive Editor · COLliveRaizel Blesofsky (née Laber), A”H, was niftar on Friday night, 7 Sivan. She was 23 years old, married less than a year, and in the ninth month of her first pregnancy when an aneurysm took her without warning.
She never held him.
Her baby boy survived and is in the NICU. Please daven for Tinok HaKohen ben Raizel.
Raizel was the daughter of Rabbi Avraham and Mrs. Nechama Dina Laber, shluchim to Southern Rensselaer County, NY. She leaves behind her young husband, R’ Yisroel Blesofsky; her parents; her identical twin sister; and ten siblings.
She had a way of taking care of people. She fed them, she made room for them, she gave from a kind and open heart. Those who knew her said it simply: “Raizel genuinely saw the good in everyone, and always made people feel cared for and accepted. She had a true simcha that people could feel just by being around her.”
The needs are immediate, and they are long. NICU bills. A young husband starting over. Grieving parents, a twin, and ten siblings holding each other through a loss no one should carry alone.
Every dollar goes directly to the family. The kind of chesed Raizel herself would have given without hesitation.
Please give. Please share. Please daven.
