I will miss her texts,phone calls and and stories she told.I certainly will miss her good humor even till the end..

Grandma Zohara was such a kind person. Although I’m not her actual granddaughter, she never failed to treat me like one. I’m forever grateful for everything she has done for me.

Truly sorry our world has lost such a very special woman. Zohara was one of the first friends I made moving to Bal Harbour. Her warmth, creativity , sensitivity and kindness made her a stand out . We spent a lot of time together sharing and enjoying each others stories. Her honesty and candor were refreshing and being her friend truly was a blessing...as she always had a unique way of seeing the world and excellent insight to offer.

She loved her family and knew she was blessed to have Elba and Ian, and the family who all gave her the comfort she needed and deserved. Zohara was very proud of her family and fought hard to be her best...she was a true woman of faith! May her memory be your blessing always.

My grandma was one of kind. I knew this day was coming, so I intentionally saved every voicemail so I could keep her voice with me. If you know anything about my grandma she loves to talk, to check in, to see how your doing, but God forbid you ask about how she’s doing, she kept most things to herself. She was proud of me for being a phlebotomist. She even flew all the way to me, just so I could draw her labs. My grandma never failed to call me, text me, check in on me, she could hear everything in my voice. She even got down on the ground to teach me yoga this year and help stretch my injuries. She had movement & energy like a 20 year old. That hip, has always been a problem. Who knew it would come down to this. I felt this would have been my last holiday with her, we didn’t get to sit down & eat like usual, but I sure did give her some extra love.. she was so cold.. so tiny.. you could tell her breaths were getting weaker. My grandma has been strong for long, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye, but my grandma will always be with me. She raised my confidence, she was an amazing teacher, she cared so much for theatrical & dance.. my grandma is the best & she will live eternally forever in my heart.

Zohara made any family event fun for the kids. She would do anything to make them laugh and have a good time. She was strong, strong willed and just knew what she wanted which is what I loved about her. I’m glad that’s she’s no longer in pain, but she will be missed dearly. 🙏🏻❤️

I’m so sorry to hear of Zohara’s passing. I did not know her for very long. I had the great pleasure of meeting her when her son Ian asked me to help her with a few things around her home.
I feel extremely blessed to have spent that time with her.
The only sentence I can come up with , is they certainly don’t make people like that anymore, and the world could sure learn a lot from people like Zohara today. She was an extreme force of nature. She was so creative, and not short on opinions. Although the thing she spoke about most was her family. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ian for quite some time, but after several weeks with Zohara, I not only felt like I knew the whole family, she made me feel like a part of her world. It’s easy to see that she will always be a part of everyone whose life she touched. May her memory always and continue to be a blessing. My deepest condolences to the family!

May Zohara’s soul bring you comfort. I was very lucky to have been a friend from Kings Point and I sent her a Shabbat greeting every week. When she felt well she would write a return message. They always brought me such joy

Maureen Fox

With my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother, grandmother and great grandmother. I am deeply saddened by her passing. Knowing Zohara was a great privilege. Words can’t describe what a great person she was. I considered her one of my closest friend . She will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Eva Engles

We were very sorry to hear about Zohara's passing. She was an exceptional person! May G-d comfort you among all mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. We have warm memories of Zohara's visits and especially remember how you found the chicken soup with matzha balls that you were looking for! I am sure your kadish meant a lot to her! One thing I will always remember is that she felt the Jewish nation deserved the best! You are in our hearts and thoughts.

Your mother was an amazing life force I am so happy I had a chance to spend time with her. She will be missed. My heart goes out to you and the family.

Missing everything about Zohara. Our friendship was over four-decades long.
Zohara’s professional life was the studio…but which studio? The studio of Movement and Dance? The studio of Hair Fashion? Or the studio of Interior Design? Zohara excelled at all of these. Her creative nature, inclination to playfully experiment and her drive to "get it right" were traits admired by me and her many friends. She was sought after for advice in all three of the above disciplines because the results were always beautifully striking and classic. Zohara was able to create beauty, not only physical beauty, but spiritual beauty. Zohara was truly gifted.
She thought deeply and got to the spiritual essence of our Jewish faith, even though her Jewish education and embracing of Orthodox Judaism occurred in her adult life. She had a drive to “get it right”, or “refine” as Rabbi Raccah, shlit”a, stated. Zohara thoroughly enjoyed studying Torah and the commentaries of the top echelon of Jewish thinkers.
Zohara fought her illness fiercely and with dignity.
She was able to show gratitude for all events that came her way, whether good or very challenging. This attitude was a guiding light for me. I will dearly miss my friend Zohara.
