Special Birthday Gift

Today is a very special day.
It is the birthday of my daughter *Chana Ettel bas ybdlcht”a Dovid*

We are sitting shiva for my daughter and celebrating her birthday at the same time

Lighting shabbos candles was very special for Chana Ettel.

When she was unwell, she had actually asked that as many people as possible should *please give Tzedaka before lighting shabbos candles and to light on time. *

Together we made a campaign to ask many women and girls to do this. (Including those who don’t usually light candles)

We know that these beautiful mitzvos have accompanied her on her journey and that these are the only real and meaningful gifts that we can now give to her.

So now my dear sisters, I turn to you and ask.

Will you please send this precious gift of a mitzva to my beloved daughter?

The shabbos candles
(A poem by Nechama)

Flame meets wick
Spirit meets matter
Past meets present
Dreams become reality

The shabbos candles
Connecting Jewish women
Of all ages
Throughout the world

Connecting with our Creator
Connecting with each other
Connecting with our past
Connecting with our future

Connecting our souls
With our ancestors
Who lit the candles
With a prayer in their hearts

Connecting our essence
With the future
Of our nation
Perpetuating this holy light

Tiny dancing flames
Part physical
Part spiritual
Illuminating the universe

As together
We brighten the world
One shabbos candle
At a time

I usually light at the very last minute or into the 18 minutes, but in her zechus will do my best to light early this Erev Shabbos. May her neshama have an aliyah.

This coming shabbos, 6 Shevat, will be the yahrtzeit of my daughter Chana Ettel a”h.

Chana Ettel was a deeply spiritual person. She was sweet and refined and she taught by example. As one of her classmates put it, “you became a better person just by being around her”.

She valued her connection with Hashem. She valued every person- especially her family.

She valued shabbos. She would get ready early and was very careful to give tzedaka before shabbos and light the candles on time and she encouraged others with this.

She valued learning. She would learn from sefarim and listen to shiurim on the phone and then she would teach what she learned to her younger siblings.

She had a big impact on everyone she met. In her quiet way, she would brighten up the lives of those around her. She showed you don’t have to do “huge earthshaking things” to impact the world.

Please help us do something for her now.

This is a suggested list. You can choose something from here, or anything else that you feel is appropriate.

You can do this once and send her a gift on the occasion of her yahrtzeit,
or you can choose to do something recurringly, which will be sending her multiple gifts over time.
Whatever it is that you choose to do, it will be priceless for her, and for you, and for the entire world.

Even a tiny act will bring a tremendous amount of light into the world and will be a huge gift for her.

List of examples:
-Be sure to be ready for Shabbos and light the candles on time
…maybe prepare a little bit early so it is not a last minute rush.

-Give Tzedaka before candle lighting
…maybe prepare the coins and tzedaka box early.

-Come into shabbos “ready” eg. dressed for shabbos. Hopefully as calm as possible.

-Call someone to wish them good shabbos.

-Smile at someone and brighten their day.

-Tzedaka.
… maybe keep coins near your tzedaka box.
… maybe have in mind “Great is tzedaka which brings close the geulah (Moshiach).”

-Go to a shiur, learn from a sefer, listen to a torah podcast, or similar

-Any mitzva that you would like to do

It would be very meaningful for the family and a source of comfort if you would join the WhatsApp group and share what you chose to do as a gift for Chana Ettel a”h
