Rosi Behar's Obituary
To say that Rosi Behar was an Eshet Chayil (woman of valor) is true, but also an understatement of the truth. It would be more apt to say that she was a Queen among Ishot Chayil (women of valor), whose character, deeds and spirit not only gave shape and definition to this sacred assignation — but also very much exalted it. On the path of life, the Torah was always her map, her compass, and also her home — an existence crafted by deep faith, ever-evolving intellect and actionable love.
A woman who never missed a single opportunity to express gratitude, who cared as a matter of personal duty, nourishing the recipients of her love like roses in her own private garden. A woman whose whole being was an expression of affection, a heart hard-wired to give, a soul woven together by the desire to connect, and to make whomever was in her presence feel her love like the warmth of the sun.
Rosi was a master of dynamism, on one end holding space for virtues such as elegance, dignity and exactitude — but at once a zestful adorer of life with a lioness roar of a laugh that could, in an instant, light up a whole room. Deeply spiritual, but no less analytical. Delicate in approach, but never without power of presence. A being with equal parts valor and humility — the kind of wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend who was also very much a muse and an icon for the pursuit of human excellence. Rosi was a warrior and an angel, heroism incarnate and grace redefined, whose legacy of pure love will reverberate forever.
