Was the Rebbe the first in America?
August 25, 2016 2:51 pm

There are those who argue that before the Rebbe
came to America, there were efforts to mekariv Yidden,
who we were losing. This was by making available
places of learning for Yidden to go to, plus reaching out
and encouraging them to go to these Yeshivas.

However, all must admit that it was the Rebbe who advanced the efforts of kiruv beyond that, to an unprecedented scale.

kiruv began with the Rebbe

Rebbetzin Jungreis was indeed a woman who had the zchus to touch the hearts of many through her organization . She was incredibly gifted and used her talents for the right things I . I think however that as chassidim of the Rebbe we should know that she walked on the path blazed by a he Rebbe The Rebbe did not care if people did not mention his name whenever it came to being mekarev yidden .but as someone who was around in the “old days”,I think it is important for the younger people to know where the Rebbetzin herself… Read more »

BDE. More than incredible!

Rebbetzin Esther Jungreiss, Z”L, was an amazing leader for world Jewry. She experienced the worst possible gehinnom on Earth. Anyone who (especially as a child!) survived a place like Bergen-Belsen had a good excuse to give up and go off the derech. Not only did she not give in to that, But, here she devotes her life to bringing back countless lost Neshamos. I had the z’chus of meeting her pesonally, in 2008, and buying her book,”Life is a test,” with her autograph. I will keep this like a valuable treasure. Klal Yisroel lost one of the greatest. See (Warning!… Read more »

Too sad – what a loss to the world!

May her memory serve as a blessing for all and may her great work be continued!

Baruch Dyan Emes It's a sad day.
August 24, 2016 9:03 pm

For everything she did and for the countless lives she touched and made better in one way or another.
The world is surely worse off, without her.

So many attended her beautiful lavaya today including myself but one important request needs to be asked:
August 24, 2016 5:35 pm

Please all Jews everywhere, anyone reading this should pass this request onto your facebooks and whats up. Please Please Please lift up and daven for her dear children and grandchildren,relatives, and friends as their loss is so tremendous now and they very much need our love and support without delay.
She was the example of incredible strength and stood for and lived by”Ahavas Yisrael”with unimaginable emunah and so this is the gift we can give to Rebbetzin also. We all together now with unity in one accord loving this family back to strength🌹

i was extremely saddened by learning of the passing of Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis,as is everybody who was touched by her numerous never ending articles and books and speeches.She truly ‘Hot Gekert A Velt’ in the literal sense! Now that she is close to HaKodosh Boruch Hu,she certainly is going to continue her passionate influence, and standing now before The Kisei haKovod,with all her’well earned credentials’,she will beseech Hashem in her unique style to finally bring an end to this bitter Golus.i am convinced that the Rebbetzin will totally be successful in her new mission, now On High.It is certain that… Read more »

Rebbetzin Esther you are already missed here!
August 23, 2016 10:45 pm

She became apart of my family, encouraged me always to continue being the best Chabadnik, She spoke to me privately in her office many times and on one occasion spoke so highly of our Rebbe. She was very sweet and wise and would always have something positive to say about all of the people she met or knew. Rebbetzin loved Torah truth and tried to help Jews everywhere. We were so fortunate to have had her here with us. She showed great strength and leadership and when speaking could be captivating even though she was very petite in statute. She… Read more »

I heard rebbetzin jungreis speak many years ago. Her passionate words made a huge impression on me, I never forgot them. May Hashem comfort her family.

A loss

BDE -- so sorry!
August 23, 2016 8:45 pm

I read her columns for many years, and her books. She spoke once at ULY Crown Heights for a fundraiser — unforgettable — and she nodded and said hello to me when she saw me looking at her. That greeting (it was a bracha, really) will stay with me forever. Surely she will march in the front lines to the Geula — may it be today.
