Following Tehillim led by Rav Eliyahu Mann, the Rebbetzin’s sons said Kaddish. The levaya procession made its way up Rechov Rashbam and Rechov Chazon Ish and proceeded to the Shomrei Shabbos section of the Bais Hachaim in the Zichron Meir neighborhood of Bnei Brak for kevurah.
Among those in attendance at the levaya were the Rebbetzin’s mechutan, Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman; her brothers-in-law, Rav Ezriel Auerbach and Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein; Rav Nissim Karelitz, and others.
About 45,000 people attended the levaya. Thousands of women participated, gathering on Rechov Devorah Haneviah and Rechov Ezra.
