Dear friends and companions on the path,
With sadness and respect we wish to inform you of Mahdiah Esther Jacobs Kahn’s passing. After a short illness she left this world a little before 7 am on Aug 22, 2023. May her soul fly to the light to find union with the Beloved.
Mahdiah was at home for her passing, with a few friends and family, and the well wishes and heartfelt remembrances of many others. According to her wishes, there will be an intimate home funeral. She leaves behind her son, Michael Jacobs, and grandson Moxie Jacobs .
Mahdiah will be remembered for her wisdom, insight, elegance, wit, dedication, and service to her ideals of spiritual awakening and holistic health. A memorial service will be held via zoom, at a later date, to which all will be invited.
The family would appreciate that any who wish to hold vigil for Mahdiah from afar do so from now until Friday morning. Also it is requested that remembrances be posted on The Sufi Remembrance Project (sufiremembrance.net) and donations in Mahdiah’s name be made to one’s favorite charity.
With love and gratitude for having known this wonderful woman,
Amida Cary
for Mahdiah’s Family
