Today, Benny and Rivka had the privilege of attending the funeral and burial of Eliza at the Jewish section of Kembla Grange Cemetery in Wollongong, standing together with family and members of the local community to pay their final respects.
It took a real community effort to bring together a minyan so that Kaddish could be recited. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who made the effort to come and help make this possible. Your presence ensured that this important Jewish tradition could be observed with dignity and respect.
For many Jewish families living in regional Australia, having members of the Jewish community present at such an important moment brings comfort and reminds them that they are not alone, even when they are far from larger Jewish centres.
May Eliza's memory always be a blessing, and may her family be comforted for this great loss.
