Welcome Our Newest Landsleit – Chaya Ita Wasilewicz!

September 27, 2019

The  newest member of our World Society joined us, just after midnight, on Wednesday 25th September (25th Ellul) –  a beautiful, healthy daughter born to proud parents Yaakov and Elisheva Wasilewicz.

The following day, in shule, by the Torah, she was named Chaya Ita Wasilewicz, after her grandmother, our dear Chaya Ita (Halina) Wasilewicz z”l (pic right), who must be looking down from heaven with immense pride.

A sincere and hearty MAZAL TOV to Yaakov and Elisheva!

Your daughter carries the name of a wonderful lady. May she have a happy, healthy and successful life and bring you great naches.
