Rochie's Birthday

This Shabbos, the 16th of Teves, is Rochie's birthday. Her new perek Tehillim is 29.

The following was compiled by Rabbi Chaim Dalfin for Shmais.com In memory of Rabbi Gavriel & Rebbetzin Rivkah Holtzberg HYD


The Rebbe's Advice #138 - Celebrating a deceased child’s birthday

It is appropriate to celebrate the day of a deceased child’s birthday by doing all the normal customs associated with a birthday and giving tzedaka in his memory. The amount of tzedaka should correspond to the numerical equivalent of the child’s name. A chasidic farbrengen should be made in conjunction with the birthday.
