The equestrian community has lost the very talented Rebecca ‘Becca’ Weissbard a”h from Manorville, Long Island. Becca was an experienced rider and, in her great love for Israel, participated in the 2013 Maccabiah Games, winning a gold medal in the hunter/jumper class. Although living in chutz l’Aretz, she considered Israel “home.” Condolences to the entire Weissbard family for their loss, BD”H.
