For Blessing
Tuesday, 11 March 2008
When I die (sometime in the next 83 years), I want people to be able to say all the wonderful things that I heard at my dear colleague’s funeral this morning. How scholarly. How funny. How kind. How commited to the people Israel. How beloved by family, friends, congregants. David S. Lieb z”l had friends who have been an integral part of his life for DECADES…and he was only in his mid-60’s.
He preached his last sermon this past Rosh Hashanah. Even in his death, he will continue to teach others how to live.
Is it too late for me??

Never too late, my dear.
If not now…when?
and ps…for the record. I think you totally rock.
Rabbi Lieb was a dear soul. He was the Rabbi that brought me back to Judaism and temple. He confirmed me. He married me and my wife. He welcomed us when we in town for visits. He performed the services when we buried my parents.
He will be missed and will continue to be in my prayers
