May You Be Comforted…..Condolence Messages
July 29
Devora Goldwasser Bensoussan
The world is so dark without you Imma.
Can't believe it has been a month
It hurts so much. I miss you mommy.
Please do a mitzva today in my mothers memory.
L'ilui Nishmas Zahava Bas Moshe Abba
Debbie Lowenstein Still can't believe she's gone . . .
Fran Grossman Beautiful inside & out. It's so hard to believe that it's already Shloshim.
Ahuva Berman Dubinsky She's with you every minute of every day.
Sarena Kopciel You were blessed to be her daughter.
Carolina H Raeburn It makes me sad to know that you're hurting. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. All I can say is that the pain lessens with time. And it helps to know that a part of her is still alive and that's you and all your siblings and all the good she's done in this world. She was a blessing to this world. To all she touched, we are lucky to have known her. Love you…..(July 2) Zahava, You are missed. You made such a great and positive impact on all who knew you, myself included. Thank you for being a light in this world. We love you. You and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Brittney Shayne Friedman Each and everyone of you shares a part of your mother in this beautiful Jewish world she built ! She created a better place for so many Jewish families to continue to raise children in such a special way ... It's so hard knowing I can't pick up the phone to call her anymore but I do know that a little bit of her is left behind in each of her children. Stay strong Devora Goldwasser Bensoussan ... You are so special!
Daniel Bensoussan
Imma, this photo is typical of how you lived and enjoyed each moment to the fullest. This beautiful picture of you hugging my mom after you both "broke the plate", a custom which is symbolic of the relationship between Chassan and Kallah. J..
David Goldwasser
Miss you mom…
Elana Frankovitz Levy I am so sorry. Spoke with your dad on Friday. You all got up from shiva today?- Seena Eisenman Dovid, thinking of you and the whole family every day. Not a lot of words but a huge amount of heart.
- Shana Goldwasser Me too
- Sharon Adatto We are with you Dovid...
- Marion Blinkoff I never had the pleasure of meeting your mom in person, only over the phone many times and emailed with her (re: PESACH trip for next year) and davened for her when I heard she was sick . Her strength and positive outlook and Emuna was inspiring. Her beautiful memory should be a blessing and Source of comfort and strength to your entire family and everyone she touched. BDE
- Esti Duchman She was special
- Sylvia Kanoff Her memory should be a blessing and a zchus. May the geula come speedily and end all the terrible pain and suffering.
- Ruth Frier I did have that distinct pleasure. Knowing the Goldwassers was very special in our lives. They touched us in many ways.
Raizy Gersh Iskowitz Bruch Dayn Haeme I am very very sorry for your loss!
Glenn Bochner (The Miami levaya is) a truly unforgettable tribute. May your family draw strength from her memory, from each other, and from the many people who love you.
Chany Weiss Solaimanzadeh Boruch Dayan Emet. I am so sorry for your loss!
Hadassah Carolina Raeburn You are missed. You made such a great and positive impact on all who knew you, myself included. Thank you for being a light in this world. We love you. You and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Liz and David Lefkowitz We are shocked and saddened by your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
Nathan Katz I pray Hashem brings comfort to your family, and I also pray that the tremendous outpouring of love and respect from so many also brings comfort,
Ralph & Ruth Frier and Family Words cannot express the depth of feeling we send out to you in this time of mourning. May you have not further sorrow.
Jordan Schneyer I am still in shock at the loss of such a special person. Her legacy is shown in her wonderful husband and amazing children and grandchildren. She will be missed but never forgotten.
Estelle Lerner There are no adequate words for your loss. We of the Lerner family do however understand the extent of such a loss.
Pinina Kahn - I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother truly was a special woman. I have so many wonderful memories of being with your family on Succot in Richmond where we learned to eat artichokes and in Florida when I'd come to visit. Hashem has brought her home and taken away her pain. Be comforted by knowing how many people were affected by and loved your mother.
Brittney Shayne Friedman I feel privileged to have been so close to Zahava Goldwasser. She will always be in my thoughts. After watching the funeral today I was left inspired to continue doing what she created and to follow by her example. Thank you Hashem for the gift of being able to know her so well.
Rena Lynn Fuller Brittney. You are already creating a life that Is Zahava inspired. She would be so proud of all
you accomplish and give and do for others. You are an inspiration!
Seena Eisenman Dovid, the obituary captures your mother's essence beautifully. May her very special neshoma have an aliyah from all her chesed, mitzvahs and maasim tovim.

Nomi Goldwasser Landis, July 3
I am amazed that my mother's funeral in Miami has been viewed 9,256 times in one week.
- Reena Goldberger She was amazing
- Dave Mishler she was an amazing women who had a major impact on my life, without her or your father I would probably not have the life or family that I have today
- Tany Aquinin Benzaquen Im not surprised at all she was an amazing woman....
- Anita Rich Phillips I am not surprised! That speaks for itself.
- Ruth Frier Darling Nomi, She touched many lives in her short time here as did you Father. Our sincerest condolences.
- Shaindy Sosnow-Paritzky I wouldn't expect ANY LESS! your speech at the funeral was so powerful and moving. May Hashem grant all of you tremendous comfort
- Ruth Vishniavsky We are so grateful that we were able to see all of you for shiva. Everyone who knew her loved her. She gently left many lessons for all she touched. Her legacy will continue through all you children and grandchildren.
Aimee Fogel She was so special to us. I've been thinking about everything we shared. She also hosted a sheva brachot for us and Abe's shalom zachor. I also miss the wonderful and deep convos we shared about Judaism, often while doing the finishing touches of a meal in the kitchen. Her passion touched everything she did and was contagious. I am blessed to have known her and will carry the things she taught me forever.
- Ruben S. Fogel We loved her as well. Dearly. Words still fail me to adequately describe the sense of loss I feel. No words. Just love.
- Cherie Lewis Joblove (to Daniel Bensoussan) Mike and I were so very blessed and fortunate to have been touched by Zahava Goldwasser, as well as your wife, and your entire family. Words can't begin to explain the impact she has had on all of us. I still can't believe she is gone. I can only say to myself that at least I had the chance to know her and learn from her. Most recently, she was trying to help me help my dog get better with suggestions. I miss you and your whole family so much and I am sending my deepest condolences and love to you all.
S Marvin Weisberger Words cannot express our sorrow, may her name & memories be a blessing to the Family. Our hearts reach out to the family
Sarah-Joshua Lehmann I want you to know that I came to the levaya today with every intention of giving you support and comfort, and like the tzadika you are (from the guidance of you'r amazing mother ole v'shalom) I felt like you gave more comfort to me than I did to you. You are truly your mother's daughter, and you will always make her proud. Hodu Le'Hashem.
Madeline Rudman I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences to you and all the family.
Joshua Garfinkle -- Meredith Gottlieb Garfinkle and I are just one of the dozens upon dozens of couples who merited to have our vort (engagement party) at the home of Dr. Nachum and Zahava Goldwasser A'H. We were unique though. I gave them only a couple of days notice to prepare a such an affair on Erev Succos.
Shlomo Michael Sprung said at the vort that only Zahava Goldwasser would do this for somebody and insist on it, not allow it to be any other way. Daniel Bensoussan and his wife Devora Goldwasser Bensoussan are the only other couple I know that were told by such a special person that they had to have their vort on Erev Succos.
A lot of people go the extra mile but our beloved Mrs. G. goes beyond the extra mile on Erev Succos, Erev Goldwasser Simchas Beis Hashueva during Yomtov, Erev ALL the TREASURES are not yet here, EREV SUCCOS.
She was unable to make it to our wedding in Monsey but she was sure to send Dr. G. to sign our Kesuba and to sing at our chuppah as we had requested (we would have begged if necessary but this was obviously not necessary, not even with the pending blizzard because of Mrs. G and her desire to make sure that we had something that we wanted at our wedding) because we heard how beautifully he sang at the weddings of Adina Goldwasser Stilerman and Devora before us. She might not have been at the wedding but she proceded to host two rounds of Shabbos Sheva Brachos on Friday night and Shalosh Seudos. She made my parents and my mother-in-law feel so welcome and loved as if they had known each other for years.
Meredith and I are here in Ramat Beit Shemesh, on a trip that was planned weeks and weeks ago. Last night, we brought Shabbos in early with Avi and Aviya Alexis Shevin while the Levaya was still going on in Miami and we watched it tonight after Shabbos was out. We spent Shabbos Lunch today (while most of Miami and the rest of the eastern seaboard were still asleep) with TWENTYFIVE of Mrs. G's favorite extended CLE TREASURES AND GRANDTREASURES (Julie and Eric Weisman, Tal and Stefan Coleman, Tara and Ben Strauss, Aviya and Avi Shevin, Bracha and Nadav Reis, All of their children and us) and I felt like Mrs. G was with us. I felt like she was on the edge of her seat (as Doniel said at the Levaya) listening to every word of Torah, every story, every song we sang. I felt like she had something to do with every recipe (ALMOST ALL OF WHICH WERE GLUTEN FREE) used by all of the special Eishes Chayils that she helped prepare the beautiful seudah. I felt like she was smiling down at us with NACHAS!!!
We are leaving Beit Shemesh on Monday evening (which was also planned weeks ago) after Meredith and I, for the very first time, take the opportunity to do a chesed for Mrs. G (as Adina said at the Levaya). Mrs. G thank you so much for everything that you have given us.
Brittney Shayne Friedman I felt the same way!! As I cried my eyes out yesterday most of the day before Shabbos I was really having a difficult time managing the three boys with the funeral going on and trying to make Shabbos and I stopped for a second and said I know you're watching! Help me get through this day and protect my three precious boys! I just needed to cry.
Joshua Garfinkle posted toRabbi Pinchas L. Landis
Meredith Gottlieb Garfinkle and I watched the Levaya this Motzae Shabbos. You managed to move mountains and guide a very special mishpacha and community through an indescribably difficult time. The Gedolei Yisroel and the entire Klal are privileged to have Rabbi Pinchas L. Landis and Nomi Goldwasser Landis in a very important drivers seat in Cleveland. May Hashem bless you and the entire mishpacha. The words of Moshe Abba were very special for me to hear.

Kadie Black I am beyond words to express my condolences to the Goldwasser family. This world is a little dimmer with the passing of Zahava Goldwasser. Her light shown and inspired so many.

Daniel Meech Behar
Today I went to the funeral of a very special woman to whom I did not know well but was touched by. As Daniel and I walked to our car from the funeral we both said the same thing - she was a "level 5 leader". It happens to be we are both reading a book about companies that go from good to great. One of the things that they found in a great company was a leader who was modest yet so strong in what they believed in. You would think that it could not be possible to be humble yet great, but that is percisely how you can describe this special Jewish woman. I can not say that I knew mrs goldwasser well, but her strength and dedication to Judaism and self growth has inspired the entire city of Miami. Her great family has lost thier leader and more importantly thier mother. Hashem should give Nechama to her family and may her greatness live on in them.
- Rabbi Pinchas L. Landis I have to tell you a strange coincidence. I am a big Jim Collins fan. I have read his books over and over. When we drove down and back last week to see my mother in law, I was actually listening to the audio Good to Great. You are so correct, she was a true level five with a hedgehog way about her, and so many BHAGs (big harry audacious goals-see Built to Last) which she achieved.\
- Joan Bers Cantor Rabbi Landis, I have never met you, but your wife and sister-in-law Adina were flower girls at our wedding. You spoke so beautifully today. What a wonderful tribute to your mother-in-law. It certainly is a testimony to her and to Norman as well that they have such amazing sons-in-law as well as children (and I'm sure, grandchildren as well).
Shira Reich-Ninio I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss. May Hashem provide you and your family with comfort during this difficult time.
Daniel Sherman I only just found out and I am at a complete loss for words. All I can say, is that I count myself as one of the luckiest people alive today for having had the opportunity to spend time with this amazing and inspiring woman, and to start getting to know her over the past few years. From what I saw, she was clearly an incredible woman and she left an incredible legacy...one of love, of warmth, of a clear understanding of true priorities, of emunah, of family and of a true appreciation for the individual gifts bestowed upon us - even if we don't recognise them ourselves. Her legacy clearly lives on and her warmth and kindness continues through the amazing Dr G and through all her wonderful and uniquely gifted children and grandchildren. The broken hearts of so many are beating together with the entire Goldwasser family. May her memory be a continued source of blessing, light and inspiration to us all and may we all be a blessing to her memory. I wish you all long lives, full of goodness and may you be comforted along with all the mourners of Israel.
Yoni Yonina Blumenthal I am truly moved and inspired by how greatly your mother impacted so many people to love Torah and to be involved in chessed. How unusual and special she must have been,it is evident that Klal Yisroel lost a very important woman. Hamakom Yenachem Etchem Btoch shaar avlei tzion VYerushalayim
Shoshana Nesanel המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים. Devora your in my thoughts and tefillos. When we were kids You were always blessed to have the same Chen and sweetness as your mother. I am sure it's only continued even more as you've grown older! May HaShem comfort you and your entire family. All my love to you

Alida & Miles Bunder With heavy hearts we attended Zahava's funeral in Beit Shemesh. We then went home to hear the terrible news about the three boys who were tragically murdered here in Israel. We can only find comfort in that we know in our hearts that Zahava will be there to welcome and care for these three boys, Naftali, Eyal and Gilad, in Gan Eden. May her name and memory always be in our hearts as a blessing
Daniel Bensoussan
I miss you Imma, not sure how it's possible that I have any tears left. Love, Doniel
- Denise Stern Yeah, it's amazing to me how they keep coming.
- Hadassah Rivkah May Hashem comfort you and reunite you together with Moshiach immediately.
- Daniel Bensoussan Amen
Tamara Friedman Over the past few days I have listened to all the beautiful hespedim given for Mrs. Goldwasser A"H. We were well aware of the chessed that the Goldwassers were known for, but the depth of Mrs. Goldwasser's A"H chassadim and tzidkanius was beyond my knowledge. It is not a coincidence that Mrs. Goldwasser's A"H kevura was a few hours before the bodies of our 3 innocent boys were found. There is no doubt in my mind that Mrs. Goldwasser A"H, whose essence was to do for others, to take care of others, will be watching out for our boys, and will be like a mother to Eyal, Gil-ad, and Naphtali, HY"D, in the Olam HaEmes, like she was for dozens and dozens of other yidden, in her lifetime.
Sarena Kopciel Wow well said.
- Dave Mishler wow, you took the words out of my mouth, that was beautiful
- Jodi Reches Beautiful words. I wrote something similar on my Facebook page.
Felicia Averbuch Haas Baruch Dayan HaEmmet, our condolences. She made such an impact. She will always be remembered and is a part of so many.
Yael Putney I feel such a hole in my heart, as all of us who knew Zahava must. My thoughts are with all of you, Devora, Adina, David, Nachum, Rena, Zoë,Daniel, and all of the rest of the wonderful Goldwasser family.
Karen McCall This sweet smiling woman is the woman I will forever know. May her soul rest in peace. And God comfort all her family and friends.
Nancy Israel Mehlman Baruch Dayan ha emet. Dear Norman and all you wonderful children, I will miss all of the inspiring, loving, uplifting, enthusiastic, fun, happy and moving posts by your incredibly special wife and Imma. I remember being in awe of her from the moment you brought her to Seattle, Norman. Though we hadn't kept in touch over the years, I was so excited to find Janet on Facebook. I loved reading about all of the yummy grandchildren and seeing the beautiful wedding and family pictures. My heart aches for all of you. Losing a spouse or parent is hard at any age, but losing a loved one in the prime of her life must be excruciating. I hope and pray that you can find comfort in your wonderful memories. המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שער אבלי ציון וירושלים.
Inmemoryof Yossi BDE. I'm so sorry. I'm at a loss for words.

Edna Naamat-Ershowsky I miss you so much. I'm so sorry it has been 4 years since I last saw you. May הקבה give me the כח to follow in your footsteps and be a wife, a mother and friend that you have been to so many people (including Michael and I.) Love you forever our dear אמא.
Darren Enkin My family was blessed to have known you and to have sat at your shabbat table many times. You are the kindest person I have ever met. You will be missed but never forgotten.
Rachel Solomon Teles Mrs. G, your reach was so far that when I got in the plane to go home from our visit in Jacksonville the flight attendant came up to me and asked if I had been in Jacksonville visiting you. The impact you had on my life is immeasurable and I am feeling just devastated right now. I will love you always and forever.

Liz Slotin Brauser I miss you too much already and it wasn't long enough and the sadness that everyone is feeling seems frankly unbearable. However , I learned so much from you about bitachon and emunah - in your quiet and unassuming way as you handled so much and impacted so many - not just your beautiful one of a kind family , but our local community and beyond - all the way around the world And in Eretz Yisroel ... I wanna keep you close in my heart by trying to continue to learn from you and to emulate your many incredible middot . Yours was a life lived like a regal queen, Sameach bechelkech, proud of your children and eineklach and steadfast partner to your dear husband. You had taste, charm, beauty, wit , spiritual elegance and just were one of my favorite people on the planet. I loved how many aspects of life that we shared and how to not have you here seems like a hole in the world.. .Your life impacted the spiritual awareness of thousands . May you memory be honored by the gargantuan amount of mitzvos that will be performed because of you! It certainly has pulled on the awareness of folk far and wide. May your children and grandchildren continue your unique legacy.I can't stop crying for your family but I pray that Hashem will give them the strength to make it through the seemingly impossible test of losing their mom, daughter, wife, grandmother , sister in law,machatenesta,daughter-in-law and to those of us who were blessed to call you a friend . Baruch Dayan Haemet.... Trying to understand that tonight.I am glad that you are peace . Goodbye my dear sweet Zahava.

Mommy, You were taken away from me to soon. I'll love you forever, I'll love you for always.
As I sat there holding my mother's hand, the book my mother used to read me as a little boy came to mind.
Love You Forever
by Robert Munsch
A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she held him, she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, "this kid is driving me CRAZY!"
But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
The little boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was nine years old. And he never wanted to come in for dinner, he never wanted to take a bath, and when grandma visited he always said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo!But at night time, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep, she picked up that nine-year-old boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
The boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strange music. Sometimes the mother felt like she was in a zoo!
But at night time, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
That teenager grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man. He left home and got a house across town. But sometimes on dark nights the mother got into her car and drove across town. If all the lights in her son's house were out, she opened his bedroom window, crawled across the floor, and looked up over the side of his bed. If that great big man was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.
Well, that mother, she got older. She got older and older and older. One day she called up her son and said, "You'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick." So her son came to see her. When he came in the door she tried to sing the song. She sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always...
But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick. The son went to his mother. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my Mommy you'll be.
When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs. Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping. He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while he rocked her he sang:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.

Shlomo Farhi Heartbreaking. Simply heartbreaking. Baruch Dayan Haemes. But to the entire Goldwasser family, remember that this amazing woman lived more in her shortened life then most do in a full one. She saw child after child find the best spouses, raise amazing kids. She ran Pesach programs that brought the light of YomTov and the true spirit of Freedom to thousands. And all the people who have come out to support you in this bleak and challenging time are testament to an exalted life, lived excellently. May Hashem shower true Nechama on your amazing family. May they feel and sense down here on earth how high Mother sits in shomayim. How she is proudly showing Hashem pictures of the husband, kids and grandkids that she is so proud to have married and raised to be some of the most wholesome that I have ever met. Harachaman HU Yakim Lanu Sukas David Hanofales. When we light this week we will be sending light your way in the hope that Hashem will fill a seemingly, temporarily, broken home with the light of a thousand candles. Our tefillos our thoughts and our broken hearts are with you. Now and forever.

The Shabbat Bubble your mother counted on should envelope us all this day to help us through this extremely difficult time. My love to you all.
