YWN regrets to inform you of the Petira of Mrs. Malka Rosenbaum A”H (62), the wife of Rav Kalmen Rosenbaum, who is the long time Menahel of Torah Day School of Atlanta – after an illness. Amongst her many Mitzvos and Chesed which she was known for, was that she raised the level of “Taharas Hamishpacha” amazingly in Atlanta after working on it for many years.
She was in Yerushalayim at the time of her Petira, and initial reports tell YWN that the Levaya is scheduled for 2:00PM at Shamgar.
The levaya has been moved up one hour to 1:00pm.
UPDATED 2:30PM IL: It was with a sorrowful afternoon in Yerushalayim as hundreds of people gathered at the Shamgar Funeral Home to accompany Mrs. Malka Rosenbaum A”H to her final resting place. The first hesped was given by her husband Rabbi Kalman Rosenbaum, principal of Torah Day School of Atlanta. He spoke with passion of her contributions to the ruchniyus of the Atlanta community and Klal Yisroel as a whole, particularity in the area of taharas hamishpacha. The Rosenbaums were only in Eretz Yisroel for two weeks prior to the petira. Her sons Simcha Yehuda and Ovadia Dovid were maspid about what an amazing mother she was before the Nifteres was accompanied to the beis hakavaros. HaRav Sholom Shechter and HaRav Shmuel Auerbach were present at the levayah.
Shiva will be by Simcha Yehuda Rosenbaum’s house on Panim Meiros 11 in Mattersdorf.

Baruch dayan emes.
She was really an amazing lady who did a lot for the community in Atlanta.
Does anyone know where they are sitting shivah?
if anyone knows confirmed details about the levayah please post.
Levayah is at 1 PM at Shamgar.
Shivah is at Rosenbaum residence, Panim Meiros #11,2 flights down,Matersdorf,Jerusalem.
Baruch dayan emes. Mrs. Rosenbaum was an incredible woman. In the last 2 months she undertook a task of $850,000 to be raised for the Orenstein Mikvah in Jerusalem.
Should have shiva information shortly, will post when available.
Baruch Dayan Emes – Before moving to Atlanta the Rosenbaums lived for several years in Edison. My family was blessed with being taken under their loving and caring wings when we moved into the community 22 years ago, and we stayed in touch with them over the years. Truly, more special people don’t exist. Malka was, and Rav Kalman and their three children and their families are, living embodiments of everything beautiful and gentle that is a Torah life. We will miss her sorely – and our hearts go out to her family.
And while living in Edison she attended Breuer’s, adding a special dimension to a (slightly younger) class. There is nothing to add to the previous comments. She will not only be missed, but remembered, and her memory perpetuated by the maasim tovim she will continue to inspire.
