    A good and solid friend with sterling qualities- from whom we learned so much and will try to emulate and cherish always.
    Reuven dear friend – May we see you speedily with Moshiach NOW!

    Shalom Ber, Frida and family

    You took me under your wing as a child. You took in my family to show us the beauty of Shabbos & Judiasm. Always giving and never asking for anything in return. You were there to teach me Hebrew, guided me as a young woman, danced at my Chuppah, celebrated the birth of my son and we’re there to help me say goodbye to my Mother. The world is a darker place without you, my Rabbi, my friend. BDE
