Rebecca Malka
Rivka Malka Bat Freha A”H

Rivka Malka Bat Freha, A”H, came to Israel at the age of 15 in 1949 from Casablanca, Morocco. She was part of a group of teens who were brought to Israel after Israel was declared independent. She worked and although life was very difficult, she said those years were the best years of her life. In 1952 she married and in 1959 she came to the United States with her young family. She lived in Brooklyn all the rest of her life raising 7 children in a warm and loving environment. Her children call her “the best mother in the world”. She lived for her children and gave them the best years of her life.

She is known for her 2 most beautiful qualities - generosity and hachnasat orchim. Her house was open to all and she gave generously - money, food, charity, etc. to everyone. Everyone who remembers her will always tell you - Rebecca’s home was open to all and there was always a hot meal ready for anyone who came through the door. We miss her terribly but hope and pray that she is with Hashem who is taking care of her and rewarding her for her selfless ways.
