The son said: “He would say ‘Jews who need me – I can’t say no.’ Everyone felt he was just for them. Mom wanted to say thank you to all the people who prayed for his peace, who were there during this time and for Hadassah Hospital, the wonderful staff and Rothstein who did everything for him.”
Chief Rabbi of Israel Rabbi David Lowe: “What friend were you, all your heart, all your Torah, big smile, all good, how did you always say?” “People should not die next to me because one moment they will give me a kidney,” you said that the Blessed One is giving man one heart, one liver, but two kidneys so he can give one. You are the one you gave and you made others give to others ”.
” With all the agony and difficulty, you can’t walk upright but your stance is honest, dedicated, all of you giving. What a person you were, a complete person in the Torah, a whole person at heart, a whole person with dedication, what a wonderful person. You walked between us here and always the smile on your face. ”
