A remakable human being has left the earth and the world is a little less for it. May her memory be a blessing for all those who cherish a world that can overcome tragedy and create great beauty.

zionist forever   (02.25.14)
Its great she survived and lived such a long life but the ones to remember here are the millions who didn't get a chance to live to 110.
7. Ora , 2 .
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.25.14)
Seeing her interview , I don't think that she a religious person , certaiinly not practicing religion . Not all the wise persons live a long life .
8. 7 Charles,Your reaction is correct
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (02.25.14)
The maximum years we can live is written in our genes. but to live up to our potential we must care for the health of body and soul. In the camp,this wonderful lady, thanks G-D did not feel the pain of hunger ,because she could play music,that was as she said ,food for her soul. From there we see how important the soul is.It can save a life. Her twin sister ,a pessimist ,lived about a quarter of a century less. The Tora teaches us to see good in people ,to love people,to be thankful,not to complain to be joyful. She learned all this from her mother,who most probably learned that from her own mother,may be religious. How i know? wishful thinking. May you live 120 happy,joyful, good years Charles.
9. And now she is playing music with the angels.....
Sarah ,   Jerusalem   (02.25.14)
and sees that there really IS a G-d who created music. Enjoy ETERNITY dear lady. It's the ultimate beauty you were dreaming about all your life.
