==== Exile ==== In 1939, her husband was arrested by the authorities due to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak's fight for observing mitzvot and his activities in spreading Judaism, which were forbidden under Soviet Union laws. After more than a year of imprisonment, he was tried and sent into exile in the village of Chaili in Soviet Kazakhstan. Rebbetzin Chana hurried to join him to care for all his needs. Despite the harsh conditions, when writing materials were unavailable in their place of exile, she managed with great dedication to provide what was needed so Rabbi Levi Yitzchak could write down his Torah teachings by producing ink from herbs. Later, she risked her life by taking his writings during her wanderings, and ultimately succeeded in smuggling these writings out of the Soviet Union, which were later printed in a series of books called Likutei Levi Yitzchak. After the years of exile, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak moved to Alma Ata (Almaty), but due to the hardships of imprisonment and exile, he became seriously and terminally ill there, from which he passed away on the 20th of Menachem Av 5704 (August 9, 1944) and was buried there.
