I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Bernstein´s passing. She was a teacher of mine at Temple Israel in Silver Spring sometime in the early 70´s. I remember her being a wonderful teacher who made me enjoy Hebrew School. May she RIP.

Mrs Bernstein taught our son and our daughter at Har Tzeon Agudath Achim in Silver Spring, MD. in Sunday School. She was so wonderful with the kindergarten children.
We really liked her and our kids just loved her classes and the holiday parties she had for them.
She will be missed.
Our sympathy to her entire family.
