candle-small5It is with great sadness that we report the petirah of Mrs. Avigail (Wakslak) Rechnitz a”h of Los Angeles, who passed away following an illness.

Mrs. Rechnitz was the wife of noted askon R’ Yisroel Zev Rechnitz.

Thousands had been davening for Ruchama Avigayil Meima Rochel bas Rivka Penina, but her pure neshamah was returned to her Creator.

Mrs. Rechnitz was a devoted mother, wife and daughter whose chessed knew no boundaries. She served as a dedicated eizer kenegdo, helping her husband, Reb Yisroel Zev, in his many acts of chessed and tzedakah.

She is survived by her devoted husband, R’ Yisroel Zev; their three children; her parents, Rabbi Dr. and Mrs. Chaim Wakslak, rabbi and rebbetzin of the Young Israel of Long Beach; and her siblings, Dr. Menachem Wakslak of LA, Rabbi Dr. Mordechai Wakslak of Lakewood, and Mrs. Yael Rosenberg of Kew Garden Hills.

The levaya will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Shaarei Tefila on Beverly Blvd. Kevurah will take place in Eretz Yisroel.

May she be a melitzas yosher for her entire family and all of Klal Yisroel.

Yehi zichrah boruch.

  1. She served as the president of the ladies bikur cholim and never stopped worrying about other no matter how sick she was. She seven said she now knows what people go through when they are sick and she can now do exactly what they really need. She was a special person and the entire los Angeles will miss her dearly. A devoted husband and mother who always made time for her family no matter how busy she was with her chesed. We are all brokenhearted.

    May.she be a melitz yosher for her husband and 3 small children.

  2. She was a great tzaddekes who did boundless chesed with cholim and people in need. She did her chesed in such a tzinus manner that only those who needed her help knew. She was a tzenuah. A book could be written about her, she was so incredible.

  3. She was a pillar in our community. President of the ladies bikur cholim and even when she got sick she wouldn’t stop doing for others.
    When people would say take care of urself she would reply that she now knows what others go through and only she can do it right. She was always pushing everyone to do bigger and greater things chesed. She wouldn’t stop even the last few weeks to save someone who was sick from his house being taken away by the bank. She was simply one of the few people who did genuine chesed without any fanfare. With all this she always made sure to be a husband and mother first. He children were her pride and joy and they always came first.

    May she be a melitz yosher for her choshuve husband as well as her precious children.

  4. The Levaya will be IY”H, this evening, at 7:30, in the main shul of Shaarei Tefila.

    I’m so sad. I can’t shed enough tears. I feel so much pain for her children. They are such gems. I have no idea how they will over come this. I wish there could be something I can do to help. Hashem Yerachem!!!!!! Please Hashem help her kids and husband 🙁

  5. Levaya at 7:30PM in SHAREI TEFILA on Beverly Blvd not in Sharei Torah on La Brea. The kevura will be in EY.

    There isn’t a dry eye in this city. A pure women whose tzidkuneyos knew NO boundaries. A mother that devoted every second she had to her children the oldest whose bar mitzva is in a few months and the youngest not even 6 years old with a special daugter who is about 10 in between. May she be mailitz yosher for her husbands shul who lately has had endless tzoros and all of klal yisroel and espicially her special family. AD MOSAI

  6. Avigayil A”H was an extraordinary wife, mother and friend. We as close friends are all mourning over her petirah. There isn’t one bad thing someone can possibly say about her. She was just a living caring devoted person whom everyone wanted to be surrounded by. Although she was very sick over the past 2 years she never gave up and always remained strong although her illness. May we all daven to Hashem to cease all our tzaros and may Avigayil A”H be a meilitz yosher for all of klal yisroel. Amen

  18. I will never forget how she hosted me on a moment’s notice on a visit I made to LA. Not only was I given a spotless and luxurious guest house to stay in, but she cooked me a delicious steak dinner, exquisitely served. When I protested that she was going too far, she said, “You don’t know how much pleasure it gives me to pamper a hard-working mother.” I didn’t have the zechus of knowing her, as the LA natives commenting here did, but that brief encounter, and her extraordinary hachnasas orchim for someone she didn’t even know, spoke volumes about the person she was. The guestbook in the guesthouse is also eloquent testimony to the grace and beauty with which she invested this mitzva, qualities that surely permeated the rest of her life. I am so saddened to read of her petira. Tehai nafsha tzerura betzror hachaim.
