Dinah Ben Sasson, o"h
by Betzalel Kahn

A deeply shocked procession led by the rabbonim of Beit Shemesh accompanied the daughter of HaRav Rafael Sasson, Dinah Ben Sasson, o"h, who succumbed to injuries sustained in a horrific car accident that took place late last week near her home in Ramat Beit Shemesh.

Dinah Ben Sasson was born eleven years ago to HaRav Rafael, a rosh kollel in Yeruchom and one of the leading alumni of Yeshivas Meor HaTalmud in Rechovot, and her mother Channah, a prominent educator at the Bais Yaakov school in Beit Shemesh.

Dinah studied at the Bais Yaakov school where she was known as a quiet, modest girl who honored her parents greatly and helped run the household. During Chol Hamoed she took her younger siblings outside to allow her parents to rest and after her father asked her to bring them back home, she was struck by a car while crossing the street. On Sunday she returned her soul to her Maker.

A large crowd of mourners from the neighborhood gathered outside the Kehilot Yaakov Beit Midrash in Ramat Beit Shemesh, but due to Isru Chag no hespeidim were delivered. Instead divrei his'orerus were said by HaRav Mordechai Goldstein, the moro d'asro of the Mishkenot Yaakov neighborhood, HaRav Avrohom Yitzchok Hakohen Kook, rosh yeshivas Meor HaTalmud, and HaRav Shlomo Zalman Perlstein, moro d'asro of Ramat Beit Shemesh.

Dinah Ben Sasson o"h is survived by her parents, brothers and sisters and other relatives all distraught over her tragic departure.
