After her passing lots of Mitzvos and campaigns were started in memory of Rashi Minkowitz a”h. When her birthday came around I felt like giving her a special birthday gift! And like anyone who knew her I also knew how much she loved shoes. Buying shoes for her kids and herself… Her sister told me that at one point Rashi received a Zappos catalog that is usually sent to shoe stores 🙂 I set up a Gofund me page and wrote: In honor of Rashi Minkowicz obm upcoming birthday I thought of something that we can do…It involves Shoes, new shoes for children in our community (crown heights) so that they can start off the school year in something new! I called someone in our community who is involved in getting people shoes for their kids. It is done discreetly and with dignity. They can get fitted and measured in a store in Brooklyn where they can buy the shoe of their choice. Anyone who will like to participate can join! $40 will buy a new pair of shoes for a young girl or boy! I know how excited Rashi was about ordering new shoes for her kids and I hope we can make her proud!
In Memory of a dear friend and Shlucha Rashi Minkowitz a"h
