I attended the school starting about 1958; Not from a frum
home, albeit traditional.
Fast forward 60 years…..Boruch Hashem!
Now a great-grandmother, kein ayin hora, with frum children
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren

All from the varemkeit I received from you!

Rebbetzin Kastel was a wonderful example of a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. I will always remember her tender voice and loveng care of all the students that went to school at Boston Lubavitz Yeshiva in the late 40’s thru the 70’s. Henry P. Greenspan

Tanta Goldie, I will miss your lichtige-keit. You were so warm and caring, and so SHARP, remembering different details of stories I had shared about family members and asking after them and their families. You made it easy to stay connected to you and your family, and I am so blessed and privilged to have gotten to know you and to be able to have spent time with you. Your life story is an inspiration to me, and I will cherish that always, along with your recipe for borscht.

Even though I was not her grand child I still considered her as my Bubby. She added spunk and energy to us who were around her. She will definitely be missed by all who knew her.

One of the most salient middos of Mrs. Kastel A”H, and to us the most memorable, was her simchadikeh attitude towards life. She experienced both good times and difficult ones, but one never met her looking beaten or hopeless. Mrs. Kastel exuded the kind of optimism we would love to be able to emulate. she is ,no doubt, now reminding Der Aibershter that it’s high time to give His children cause for the ultimate simcha. Vi’hee ratzone that her optimistic insistence contributes to fulfillment of the bakashah. The Mechutanim.

Mrs. Goldie and Rabbi Yehoshua Tanchum Kastel made so many many people frum, who now lead torah lives and many whom are Shluchim. Please share your stories with the family so their legacy can live on.

Love you always BUBBES!
