very powerful hespedim … quite interesting to look at fasting on yom kippur from a different avenue … my daughter, faige, babysat for ariella’s kids & brought her some soup thinking ‘you are too weak you must eat’ … but who has the wherewithal to say & think & do with such kavana something which we may never get the physical chance to do again but a woman of valour … to fast in hopes Hashem hears her tefillos on yom kippur & to grasp the mitzva with such ‘love’ – no wonder the rav said to change her name to ‘ahuva’
sometimes it takes a community to raise a child knowing she was part of a community that takes it seriously ~ may אהובה בת אברהם rest in peace & her neshama get closer & closer to Hashem !!!

Thank you for posting this. I didn’t know Ahuva, but I know her family. This was very touching.
