The Lakewood and Boro Park communities were saddened by the sudden petirah of Rebbetzin Freida Fried a”h. She was niftar unexpectedly at her home in Lakewood this afternoon.
Rebbetzin Fried was a deeply devoted eishes chayil who stood faithfully at her husband’s side throughout his many years of harbotzas haTorah and leadership of his kehillah. Rav Fried served for many years as the rov of Congregation Bnai Yisroel in Boro Park before relocating to Lakewood, NJ.
Throughout those years, Rebbetzin Fried was an integral part of the life her husband built and the kehillah he led. With quiet strength and unwavering dedication, she enabled Rav Fried to devote himself to his responsibilities as a rov, while creating a home imbued with Torah, warmth and concern for others.
Rebbetzin Fried was a woman of exceptional kindness and generosity, whose concern for others was genuine and instinctive. She possessed a warm heart and was always ready to assist another person, whether through a kind word, a thoughtful gesture or practical help offered without fanfare.
Above all, she was extraordinarily devoted to her husband and family. Her home and family were at the center of her life, and she invested herself wholeheartedly in their wellbeing. Her sudden passing has left her family and those close to her reeling from the unexpected loss.
The levayah was held today at the Congregation Sons of Israel Holocaust Memorial Chapel in Lakewood. The aron will be flown to Eretz Yisroel for kevurah.
Rebbetzin Fried leaves behind her husband, Rav Psachya Fried, along with her exemplary family of children and grandchildren who carry forward the values of Torah, devotion and chesed that characterized her life.
Yehi zichrah baruch.
