Baruch Dayan, the true judge: In Jerusalem, Mrs. Ruhama Chaya Meklev passed away tonight (Friday night), at the age of 39.

The deceased, may God bless her soul, fell seriously ill last year. In the last 24 hours, her condition deteriorated, and to the sorrow of her family and many acquaintances, she returned her soul to her Creator.

The deceased is the daughter of Rabbi Yosef Gad Weinberg, wife of the late Rabbi Yochanan Maklev, son of Knesset Member Uri Maklev.

She left behind her husband, her parents, her brothers and sisters, and three small orphans.

Her funeral procession will leave this morning - the eve of Sukkot - at 10:45 AM from the Za'i Synagogue in the Ramot Polin neighborhood of Jerusalem, towards Mount Hamunehot, where she will be buried.

The grieving families sit for seven days until the holiday begins at the funeral home in the Ramot neighborhood.
