A Blessing and a Contribution

Mrs. Esther Sternberg is the director of the Shabbos Candle Campaign, a division of the Lubavitch Women's Organization. She was involved in the medical care of the Rebbe’s wife, Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, until the Rebbetzin’s passing in 1988. While the Rebbe was still sitting Shiva, the Shabbos Candle Campaign announced a new fund in honor of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka. They didn’t inform the Rebbe of the new campaign, but once the Shiva was over, the Rebbe called her and her father to his home on President Street.
