Communal events around the world will mark the Shloshim of the untimely passing of Esty Aidel (Rubin) Cohen, one month ago.
Shloshim events will be held on the 26th of Cheshvan, Wednesday, Nov. 3rd at 8pm in Albany, NY where Esty was born and raised, in Melbourne, Australia, and in Manchester, England, where she assisted her husband in his communal duties, and raised their six children.
Esty’s parents and siblings, Mr. Morris Losice – President of Shomray Torah,
and a representative of Esty’s Bais Rivka classmates will speak at the
Shloshim.
Esty’s husband Rabbi Menachem Mendel Cohen and children are expected to arrive in Albany on Wednesday evening. Uncles of the Cohens, the Rabbi Y.M. Gurarie and Rabbi Moshe Chanowitz of Montreal, and Harav Efraim Piekarski of Brooklyn, will attend as well.
Esty’s Beis Rivkah Classmates participated Monday night in an inspiring class conference call/farbrengen.

The family don’t need to be showered with loads and loads of brand new clothes. They need support and stability. Someone who can come in every evening to bathe them and put them to bed.
It isn’t easy but Hashem gives us the strength.
I agree with number1
we must bring moshiach now!
As someone who has very little family and has been pretty much alone for a long time I agree with #1 and #5 as being the most constructive ways to think of and behave toward children in such a situation.
ppl dont know how to be loving and compassionate, they feel uncomfortable with crisis and want to move on with their lives.
they dont want to get involved bc they are afraid you will become dependent on them. it is a skill. therefore, comes the sorry eyes.
i think the best way is to ask the family how you can constructively help.
it is up to the family to know what they need exactly.
if these 2 things can be done,
the sorry eyes syndrome will be avoided.
whos treating them like rachmonos cases? I reread the article to see what you mean and I dont see it. Yes you are right unfortunately these things do happen, and when it does, ppl will care and feel sorry for the family (out of love and compassion) Its just human nature. it would be cold and rude if ppl just acted like nothing happened. Really sorry for what you had to go through as a child, but just know that ppl were caring for you, there is nothing wrong with that.
HOW LONG CAN WE WAIT!

Every passing day my heart breaks more and more cuz i just love esty so much and i miss her!!!!! But i know that her family will be able to get through this with hashem’s help…no one is given a challenge that they cannot overcome and her family will gain the strength to move forward!!
it is only starting to really hit me. she has really passed on. as an orphan myself want to say the worst thing you can do for her kids is treat them as a rachmonis this has plagued me made me feel 2nd class remember ultimately Hashem will give them the strength to deal with this but if ppl get in the way with feeling bad for them with the sorry eyes etc, it is not going to give them them the koach they need to get through this. help them to believe they can get through this, believe in… Read more »
