On Friday, February 17, family and friends of Chana (Raskin) Wolvovsky OBM, along with Shluchos from around the world, gathered for a dedication in her memory in the Rebbe’s Mikvah in Crown Heights.
The brand new and luxurious “Chana Raskin Wolvovsky Bridal Suite” was donated in small amounts of $18, $36 and $54 by her friends.
Designed by Maggie Rogatsky of HC Design Décor, the Kallah room features a state-of-the-art tub, sink vanity, beautiful chandeliers and luxurious fixtures.
Here is the welcoming message they wrote:
Chana will forever be remembered as a Kallah Na’ah Va’Chassuda – a bride of beauty, grace, and modesty.
What better way to preserve Chana’s memory than by extending her special touch to other Kallahs in this most important moment of their lives.
How characteristic of Chana to want to make a Kallah feel so special, so beautiful, and so pampered on the eve of her wedding.
The 3 letters of Chana’s Hebrew name are an acronym for the 3 special Mitzvos given to Jewish women: Challah, Family Purity, and Shabbos Candles. In dedicating this bridal suite, we will enable every Kallah embarking on the Mitzvah of Family Purity for the first time in her life, to feel so special doing so. How much more beautiful her Mitzvah will be when she feels so unique and so holy fulfilling it.
How beautiful it will be that every Kallah entering the Chana Wolvovsky Bridal Suite will feel Chana’s special touch of elegance and grace on her wedding day.
The Hayom Yom of Chana’s birthday describes that the role and duty of N’shei U’bnos HaChassdim – the Chassidic wives and daughters – is to stand in the forefront of every activity connected with the strengthening of Yiddishkeit, and specifically those activities connected with the strengthening of Taharas HaMishpacha – Family Purity. What better connection can Chana have to this special Mitzvah.
What better way to preserve Chana’s memory than by strengthening this foundation of Yiddishkeit.
