Edna Zussman

In honor of Ben Zussman Z’L

Every individual who dies leaves behind a gaping hole for so many loved ones. In this mini-series, we look at three different perspectives on the loss of a soul. We begin with the Grandmother: Edna Zussman. She shares about the struggle of learning of his death, soon after the death of her nephew Yosef Guedalia. She explains the importance of the respect people should have for our soldiers fighting this war and reveals so much more in the process. Meet this legend among us.
