12:45AM EST: YWN regrets to inform you of the tragic Petira of Mrs. Reva Esther Robins A”H, who was R”L killed in a car accident in Twin Mountain New Hampshire on Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Robins, a resident of Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, davened at Rabbi Welscher’s Shul, and was beloved by her community.
According to reports from the New Hampshire State Police, her vehicle collided head-on with a tractor trailer travelling on U.S. Route 302, just before 2:00PM.
Misaskim received a call on their hotline on Tuesday afternoon, and quickly began working with local and state authorities to ensure proper Kavod Hames.
Misaskim immediately dispatched a crew of volunteers from their Monsey Divison, to make the 350 mile drive to Littleton Regional Hospital, where she had been taken following the crash. The local Chabad Shliach from Manchester, Rabbi Levi Krinsky, immediately proceeded to the hospital to provide Shmira, and worked together with Misaskim for many hours.
Boruch Hashem, the local Medical Examiner has agreed to release the body without any autopsy, and Misaskim Volunteers will be making the return trip to NYC shortly – for a Levaya (to be scheduled sometime Wednesday).
Misaskim thanks the New York State Police, and the New Hampshire State Police – both whom were extremely cooperative, and were of great assistance. The NYSP and NHSP worked for many hours side-by-side with Misaskim Headquarters in NYC, to locate family members and inform them of the tragedy.
The Levaya will be held at the grave-site (only) at 3:30PM Wednesday afternoon in the Mt. Judah Cemetery 8114 Cypress Avenue, Ridgewood, Queens. [Exit 2 on the Jackie Robinson Parkway]

ribono shel olam what is going on? thank hashem for misaskim because without them lots of people would be in trouble but this is terrible. klal yisroel is suffering and we really need moshiach. in the past weeks all we have heard are heart breaking news and so many accidents and shootings. what is going to be???
Mosh3
WE NEED TO DO TESHUVAH BUT WE AREN’T SO THE TRAGEDIES WON’T STOP UNTIL WE DO.
maybe if these and other frum websites would focus also on the kindness of hashem, live wouldnt be so hard on you. how many healthy children were born last week in say yerushalaim, or boro park, monsey, lakewood.? bli ayin hora plenty. but its not news. yes its in the simcha listings but is it not worthy of headline news? rachmana litzlan if someone is born with 4 fingers instead of 5. a whole life with a disability, shiduchim is an issue even for healthy people let alone others.. if the possuk says a time to live and a time to die, than both need equal press.
Mrs. Reva Esther Robins A”H, was a wonderful woman a ba’al teshuva that was loved by all her friends and will be missed by all,may she rest in peace.
Ms. Robin (she was not married) was indeed a very special person. An incredibly sensitive neshomo, she was always thinking of others and trying to find ways to help. On at least two occasions, she saved a yid from cremation, even paying for a burial plot, for someone she didn’t even know, to ensure a proper k’vuras Yisroel although she was far from wealthy. The fact that an autopsy was avoided and that the levaya was able to take place in a timely fashion is nothing short of an open miracle. Those involved in the arrangements say that there is no “rational” explanation; it was surely midoh k’neged midoh. She will be sorely missed by all of her many friends. Yehi zichroh boruch.
This news really caught me off guard. I never met Ms. Robin but I had just started speaking to Ms. Robin recently about a gemach we wanted to start up, where people would take some of their learning and dedicate it in the schus of someone who did not have frum relatives to learn for them. We thought it was a tremendous way to do outreach. If anyone wants to help out and donate any of their learning now is a better time than any.
can someone post her hebrew name
(I want to arrange a donation l’illuy nishmas, but I don’t know her hebrew name)
thanks.
Her Hebrew name was Reva Esther Bas Tzvi Hersch HaLavi.
We just learned of her passing now. Baruch Dayin Emes, sigh… She was a friend & a special woman. In case others come here later I am posting her favorite charity which she consistently lobbied others to support: Yad Ezrah (US Friends of Yad Ezrah 12A N. Airmont Rd Suffern, NY, 10901-5104) But anything furthering respectful burial & prayers/learning thereafter, for those who would not otherwise have it, would certainly be appropriate. How sad. She loved those mountains in NH. She paid for us to have a vacation of several days there as her wedding present to us. What a special person. I believe the kavod of her meis was a reward from shemayim; may her neshama have have all the aliyah possible. Thank you for posting her Hebrew name. Yartzeit is 14 Elul.
