In his memory, family, friends, neighbors and congregants of the Weston Chabad synagogue where he worshipped will gather Sunday to celebrate the arrival of a Torah created in his honor. The Torah was handwritten in Israel over the past year and is being flown to the United States by members of Daniel’s family. The dedication will include a parade from Indian Trace Elementary School in Weston to the community’s Chabad Synagogue, where the final 50 letters of the holy scripture will be written by Daniel’s family, friends and honored members of the local community.

Laurie Zimmet Speaks at Chabad of UNF
Jacksonville, FL — April 29, 2007 — On an unordinary Sunday evening at Rabbi Shmuli Novack’s Chabad house in Southside Jacksonville, University of North Florida students and members of the Jacksonville Jewish community gathered to hear a compelling account—that of an American soldier fighting in the Iraq War, but also the story of a woman persevering as a Jew in the United States Navy. Laurie Zimmet began her lecture with a disclaimer: she in no way intended to speak as a Naval Lieutenant tonight. Rather, she spoke to the Jews gathered at Rabbi Novack’s house as a fellow. Though Zimmet acknowledged her trying and sometimes tragic experience while on her second tour in Iraq, she mainly spoke with a gleam in her eyes and a smile on her face while she led the audience through a year on the Jewish calendar in the Navy.
