    My condolences to you and your family Jeanette. I am so glad that we met. Your father was a very special man – it was my privilege to know him. My heart is with you during this sad time. I hope that the time you spent with him in his last days will be a comfort to you always. I am here for your mom, should she choose to contact me.
    Sincerely yours,
    Randi Kaplan

    Jeanette will be sitting shiva and visits are invited from 6-7.30 pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with mincha at 7 pm. Please help with this mitzvah of comforting the mourners and making a minyan each evening at the Goldman’s home.

    If you want to bring any food to the shiva house, please make sure it is vegetarian/dairy.
    Hamakom y’nachem – comfort to Jeanette and her family in her mourning and peace on the neshamah of Yehuda Leib.
    Blessings,
    Rabbi Marc
