Malka Rokeach

Malka Rokeach (Hebrew: מלכה רוקח) was the first rebbetzin of the Hasidic dynasty of Belz.

She was born in 1780 to Rabbi Yissachar Dov Ramraz of Sokal, Galicia and Rebbetzin Chana Rachel (née Tisminitzer), a great-granddaughter of Rabbi Zechariah Mendel ben Aryeh Leib of Cracow, author of Ba'er Hetev on Yoreh De'ah and Choshen Mishpat.

[1] Rabbi Sholom considered Malka as his partner in his Torah study and in all of his spiritual endeavors.

Each year on the day of her yahrzeit, 8 Elul, Belzer Hasidim continue to light candles in her memory.

Her brother was the father-in-law of Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam, in the latter's fourth marriage.
