Last week, the Boro Park community lost an important link to the past with the passing of Mrs. Frieda Schick, a longtime Boro Park resident and a matriach of a beautiful Torah family. She was 97 years of age. 

The nifteres was born in Leipzig, Germany, to a Galizianer family in the year 1928. Her father was Reb Elimelech Goldbaum. 

The family fled Germany in 1939 to Switzerland and came to the United States in 1949. She married Reb Shmiel Schick--of the famed Schick family of Rabbonim, and later of the legendary Schick's Manor in Boro Park. After their marriage in 1951, they settled in Williamsburg and later moved to Boro Park. 

Along with so many Holocaust survivors, the Schick's davened in Poalei Agudas Yisroel on 16th Avenue, which was led by illustrious Rabbonim including Rav Meir Gruenberg, Kezmarker Rov, and others. 

Mrs. Schick was a real estate broker for many years and was known for her yashrus and honesty, and her home was a house of legendary chesed. 

She leaves behind beautiful generations who are a credit to her legacy.
