• Link Providence, Rhode Island

 Done SusunW (talk) 18:35, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

• "Joining the Zionist movement," -a date would be good

• "during the war," -World War II?

• "She received many honors and awards for her philanthropy including Jewish Mother of the Year, the Mizrachi Women's Organization of America's "Silver Medal" for building Israel, honorary doctorates, and she" -rep of "she"

• " By the early-1960s, 33 synagogues throughout Israel had been built through the synagogue fund,[36] during the two years she lived in Israel, she helped erect around 80 additional synagogues,[38] and by the time of Silverman's death, the number was over 100 synagogues in Israel and elsewhere.[39]" -too much for one sentence here.
