I had the pleasure of meeting Jonathan while attending NEIU for our masters in social work. It was a great pleasure to have been able to interact with him during our two courses together as well as work throughout the semester. He was a beautiful kind person who will be extremely missed. Our social work cohort trio will no longer be the same, Sofia, and I will miss him dearly.

Words cannot describe how sorry I am for the loss of Jonathan. My condolences to his family. I met Jonathan at Neiu. We all started the MSW program together. Although Iâ??ve known Jonathan for a short time he left a footprint on my heart. Jonathan was one of my buddies at Neiu. He was so caring and loving. I enjoyed working with Jonathan. I always looked forward to his clever yet sophisticated comments to the professors. I will miss Jonathan and his laugh.

Jonathan was a very unique and special guy, I used to pick him up from his house, we both will attend class, and then I drop him off at home. All while we were driving, I was learning from him, he had a gift that wasn't translated in books, I used to say Jonathan what that mean, he would explain, he was always there to help the class, the professors, and me. Thank You Jonathan.

Jonathan was one of the few kids my age growing up in the minyan. Every shabbos, he was reliably in gan playing board games, telling us riddles, or telling us about his latest math discovery. Through carpool, school, and shul we quickly developed a close friendship. After shul on shabbos afternoons we would go back to your house to play mini pool or mini ping pong on a set he got for his bar mitzvah. Some of my fondest shabbos memories are playing games in the Tupper house.

In high school, Jonathan turned into a fitness nut and progressive activist, always telling me about his newest obstacle course or cause that he had conquered or was championing. Jonathan always pushed people to do more, to do better. He always had a book recommendation, constantly reading an Isaac Asimov novel.

Baruch Dayan haemet, may his soul be bound up in the bond of life.

Itâ??s very difficult to write this message. I cannot believe that I lost one of my favorite students in a blink of an eye. Jonathan is one of a kind. I usually get the opportunity to catch up with him at the end of class because we are the last people to leave the classroom. ... Jonathan was well read, always prepared, very kind and soulful. He was an amazing writer, a deep philosophical thinker that understands feels the need of social justice to his core. ... the classes will never be the same without him. His absence will leave a big lacuna in the classroom discussions and a big dent in my heart. I will miss you everyday walking to the classroom buddy! Rest in power!!!

Sasha is a first cousin once removed from me. Geographic distance complicated creating a relationship but my prayers are for my cousins Tup and Ruth and for Sasha's siblings.

James Galligan

I am Sasha's Abba (or as we say "AbdA"). You all can never know how your words comfort us. How human!

On behalf of those of us at ONE Northside, I wanted to extend our condolences. We are so so sorry to hear of this tremendous loss. Jonathan was a trooper! He showed up for justice time and time again, giving all the many gifts he had to offer -- from participating in marches and demonstrations, to helping with research projects, to interning when home on summer breaks. He will be deeply missed. We are grateful for his many contributions. May his memory be a blessing for all of us that knew him.
