    “It was in the second year in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud ascended from upon the Tabernacle of the Testimony” (Num. 10:11).

    On the 9th of Iyyar in the year 2017, my grandmother Rose (Roszi) Klein passed away. She was born in 1928 in the Hungarian town of Bonyhad to Meir and Devorah Kuttner. After surviving the horrors of the Holocaust and living in Hungary for a decade after the war, she moved to Brooklyn, NY where married and raised her family. In line with her name, my grandmother had a special appreciation of flowers and I have fond memories of visiting the botanical gardens with her.
