Emily Rose Lubin was a 20 old lone soldier from Atlanta and was killed this week by an Arab while guarding the walls of the Old City . Her Parents said she always kept Shabbos and never spoke a word of lashon hora. She was also on kibbutz Saad at her adoptive Israeli family on October 7th and helped protect the kibbutz . Everyone loved her. They said she was a light for everyone.The way people spoke about her at her levaya , you just fell in love with her. Her levaya was attended by 1000s on Har Herzl yesterday. She lived for doing good and loved Eretz Yisrael. No pressure,but I thought maybe when we light early it can be a zchus for an aliyas neshama for her. She is sitting right next to HKBH and from the way everyone spoke about her we can see why HaShem Chose her to be close to Him. She will Bezh be a Meilitz Yeshara for all of Am Yisrael. Her family said she was a fighter for everything she believed in. She also composed music and had a beautiful voice. Let her sing and fight for us all in shamayim and ask HaShem to end all the suffering for the Geula soon. As they said at her levaya May she be our last churban.
There is a beautiful quote attributed to Rose "I am not going to wait for the world to do something great for me, I'm going to do something great for the world" If we can do something tremendous li'iluy nishmasa, she will continue to be able to do something great for the world even after her tragic death.
