The 4-month-old toddler Shaterna Sara Federman was laid to rest at Beit Chaim in Queens, near the Chabad Rebbe’s tent, at the end of the heartbreaking funeral.
The little girl drowned when she fell into the river at her family’s mission in the US Virgin Islands, where her parents serve as Chabad ambassadors and work for the Jews and Judaism.
The mother, who saw what was happening, and jumped into the water to save her daughter’s life, got stuck under the current of the overflowing river and was pulled out unconscious. She is now hospitalized in serious condition.
Hani Friedman, the mother’s cousin, told N12: “They were in the Virgin Islands, where they act as messengers, by the sea or on a boat, when the baby slipped into the water. Hania jumped in to try and save her and got stuck under the water.”
“People who were nearby were able to resuscitate her and give her CPR. She was later airlifted to Miami, which is the closest medical center to her. There she receives medical treatment at a higher level than what is available on the island.”
The cousin added that “unfortunately, the baby’s body was found shortly after, and today she is supposed to come for burial. I don’t know what exactly was there. I have a baby of the same age and we corresponded around the birth and we are in good contact, I can’t imagine what happened “.
She continued, because “she is a stunning mother who takes care of each of her children, it is not noticeable that there are 13 children because she gives her world to each child”.
The “Educational Affairs Center” asked in a message sent to the emissaries and emissaries and their families around the world, to pray and dedicate all activities to the healing of the emissary Mrs. Ania Bat Bracha Deborah Leah for a complete recovery.
“We ask the family of the Shulahim and the Shulahim to unite and say chapters of Psalms, and add to the Torah prayer and charity, for complete healing and miracles above the path of nature, for the Shalucha who is fighting for her life at this very hour.”
At the center they called “to dedicate all the activities, classes, meetings of the month of Kislu, gatherings of the public and the like, to her healing and her welfare. And God Kabir will not get tired, and thanks to the prayers of many she will have a long life and good years and health.”
The public is called to petition in prayer for the woman Martha Ania Bat Bracha Deborah Leah For complete healing among the rest of Israel’s patients.
