My memories of Rabbi Rachel include going for long walks with her at Elat Chayyim, because she was very serious about exercise and taking care of her health. She showed a tremendous amount of self-discipline in adopting a very serious fitness regime. I knew her as a wise woman, a woman of valor and a supporter of Jewish education and community. We are saying kaddish for her each Friday and Saturday Shabbat service at my congregation in California.
May her memory be a blessing
