Crowds in Bnei Brak on Saturday night accompanied Mrs. Ayla Davidson, who passed away on Shavuot - after being critically injured in the fatal accident that occurred last Friday on Highway 1. Her infant son, Avinoam Meir, aged one month, was killed on the spot in the same accident.
She left behind five orphans.
Her father, the gaon Rabbi Aharon Sellar, head of the Midrash Eliyahu kollel in Elad, paid a tearful eulogy to his daughter, noting her great devotion to her family and the Torah. He said that even after her last birth, she told her husband: "You will go and study.".
The rabbi Shalom Ber Sorotzkin, head of the Ateret Shlomo institutions, delivered a speech of encouragement, calling on the general public to be strong and asking the deceased: "Pray for your husband and the children you raised.".
Her husband, the late Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Davidson, who was injured in the serious accident, arrived at the funeral by ambulance and tearfully eulogized his wife. The husband said that she used to do soul-searching every evening. "When does a woman have time to do something like that when there are babies at home? But it was foremost in her mind. She never wasted time, and spirituality was first and foremost for her.".
Her son, 10-year-old Yossi, tearfully requested: "Mom, pray for us that you may have peace as you wished, that father may have a complete recovery and that he may have the strength to raise us to serve God. Pray that God, the Almighty, will redeem us from all troubles and send us redemption soon.".
The funeral procession left her parents' home on Rabbi Kook Street in Bnei Brak for the Elad Cemetery, where she was buried.
