that was very sweet. ♥

i am sorry for your loss.  and the loss of your whole synagogue and spiritual community.

i’ve stared at the comments box for 5 minutes trying to find words to respond to this post, and all it evokes, but it really comes down to ...
i am sorry for your loss.

Oh Dan...what a loving and lovely tribute to a man whose voice we all knew...but not quite as intimately as you were blessed to know it.  Such a well lived life.

AND ALSO MUCH CATTLE AND ALSO MUCH CATTLE AND ALSO MUCH CATTLE!
if we keep saying it, maybe he’ll come back!  how sad to learn of his passing....those are very fond memories for me, too.

thanks for this post.

and by “anyway” I mean “despite my many many many faults”

There’s nothing like a deep, resonating voice and that gentleman had the best.  Beautiful entry.

What a nice tribute.  I hope that when my time comes, that someone will look back on me and remember that I made an impact in their lives.
