Tearful: a letter written by the teacher hours before her death
"Today the doctor told me that I needed 'prepare' the family. I thought to myself that Judaism has preparation. Preparation for commandment, preparing for Shabbos, preparation for anything, because when we prepare it’s a greater mitzvah and we manage to do more. Our entire stay in this world is preparation for eternal life"
- Moshe Weisberg, Behadrey Haredim

This morning the family members of the young teacher Sarah Cohen a"h got up from Shuva in Beit Shemesh, during which the thousands of comforters were exposed to the heartbreaking letter by the deceased only twelve hours before her passing.
Many Admorim came to the shiva only because they heard of the letter, and without knowing the family, everyone spoke about what a great women she was and how strong she was, which is rare in this generation. There is no one who read this letter and didn’t accept upon himself something, the comforters said.
She wrote in a letter typed and printed thousands of copies: " my daughters very dear to me everyone associated with my heart and really loved."
"Today the doctor told me that I needed 'prepare' the family. I thought to myself that Judaism has preparation.

"That is what I feel we are here only for preparation for eternal life and this world is a corridor and should be used for the main thing, eternity."
"And that's what I tried to instill in you throughout my life, to live happily all the time at any moment in any situation with a firm faith in the Creator who is a good source and there is no Father more merciful and good and he is the source of mercy and all He does for us all, it is just as good!".
"Make personal contact with Father in Heaven, spoke to Him as if you speak to your friend, ask for anything and love Him."
"However, we do not give up! We continue to hope and pray incessantly. God can do anything and instantly! Hashem can do anything".
"Waiting to get home safe and sound and publicize together with you the open miracles! I love you forever, Mommy," her chilling letter concluded.
