Tikva was our teacher, our role model, and of course our rebbetzin. She inspired us with her brilliance, moved us with the dignity and strength she displayed in fighting her illness, and embraced us with the warmth of her smile and the kindness of heart.

Tikva was the life-partner, friend and spouse of Rabbi Kensky and the loving mother of Meira and Eitan.

Tikva passed away on Thursday, August 31, 2006.
