Uncle Ben

 So Uncle Ben passed away tonight. I enjoyed speaking to him on his visits to Israel. The last time I saw him I believe was actually 2019 at Ahron's Bar Mitzvah. I'm mostly sad for Zayde, Bubby, my parents, and aunts and uncles who had a strong relationship with him. 

As always when someone I know passes away, I try to find tangible things that I can keep forever, showing that I knew this person and had a relationship with them. Here is an email he sent us before our wedding:


Daniel and Shifra,

We want to wish you and all your mishpachas  (that’s WV slang for family) a hearty

Mazel Tov. Just cannot apologize enough for not being with you to  celebrate such a

Glorious wedding . I feel so glad to have met Shifra recently and JoEllen, Elizabeth and I look

Forward to watching  via Facebook.

Sending  you all our love,

Ben, JoEllen and Elizabeth
