Dear Friend,
We regret to inform you of the passing of Mrs. Joyce Freeman, dear mother of Rabbi Tzvi Freeman, senior Chabad.org writer and editor.
Tzvi recalls that their Vancouver home was always filled with guests, and his mother would teach her children, and then her many grandchildren: "If somebody is in your house, they are hungry. So don't ask them if they want something to eat, just feed them. And if they are not in your house, then invite them in!"
As is customary, because mourning is forbidden on the holiday, the shiva mourning period did not begin until the conclusion of the eight-day festival of Passover.
On behalf of the entire Chabad.org family we extend our most heartfelt condolences to Tzvi and his family.
Nichum aveilim (words of condolence) can be shared with Tzvi Freeman through the discussion section.
Hamakom Yenachem Etchem Betoch She’ar Aveilei Tzion Veerushalayim - May the Omnipresent comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
And may we share only good news in the future,
The Chabad.org Team
