From Hindy

Racheli is my closest friend for many years, and I still dont have the right words that would do justice to say what I want to. I hardly heard her get angry or show any emotion to when she felt something was not going her way. I loved talking to her and just listening to what she had to say because there was always something to learn from. I looked up to Racheli for advice or insights because she knew what was right and believed that was the right thing to do. She was always optimistic whether it was in what she was studying or in general she just went with the flow. So many memories cross my mind but I dont know where to begin. I cannot believe I am writing this for my dear friend that just left this world to be in a better place! She always wanted to do stuff for others, she asked me, do you maybe want to do this with me for this person- and I sometimes had excuses but most times I wanted to just follow along because I knew she is sincere and could learn from her actions and from the deeds she did. To her siblings she constantly looked out for them. She always worried for them and made sure they were ok. They looked up to Racheli because she was and still is there older sister. I would love to have a sister like Racheli, who wouldnt. I am missing her very much and I hope that I will be able to see her again soon in the coming of Moshiach bmhara biyomanu amen!

Poised and elegant like her mother, Rachelli was always so graceful in her actions. I have a memory of Rachelli cleaning up after an art project for Torah Fair in grade 4. She and I had gotten extra classtime to finish up our different parts of our presentations in the same room. We both had big messes to clean up and not much time left, so we both dropped to the floor to clean up. While I crawled around on my hands and knees picking up garbage, Rachelli repeatedly bent down with such tznius that I stopped what I was doing and copied her instead.
Rachelli was so beautiful, inside and out. All who knew her will remember how inspiring and modest she was. She will be sorely missed.

In Memory of Rachelli Kaufman:
