Funeral Details

Dear Barbara, Talia, Ronen, Dima, Amy, and extended family,
I’m so sorry that I cannot make the trip to Chicago to honor Yossi in person at his memorial service and burial. As you may already know, Yossi was a guiding light to me in a multitude of ways from a very young age until now. He was both tough as nails and sweet as honey - all at the same time and always in a good way and with good intention. He was a teacher, a mentor, and a father figure to me. I can’t imagine the pain you are feeling at this moment. His passing is a big loss for everyone who had the bracha of knowing him. His memory will certainly be for a blessing.
Hamakom yenachem etchem betoch she’ar avelay tzion Vi’rushalayim. May you each find comfort in the place you are in with G-d, among family and friends, and among the rest of us who are mourning the passing of Yossi’s soul to olam haba.

Love,
Benji

HaMakom yenachem et'chem betoch she'ar aveilei Tziyon vYrushalayim.
With love,
