Baruch Dayan HaEmet – Syd Franklin z”l

Rabbi Marc Soloway December 30, 2020 Lifecycle Comments Off on Baruch Dayan HaEmet – Syd Franklin z”l

Syd Franklin (Yitzhak ben Reuven Avraham), father of Ronald Franklin, passed away on Sunday afternoon December 27, 2020 in the UK. Syd was 101 years old and outlived most of his family. 

With the intense Covid restrictions, no travel is possible and arrangements are complicated, but hopefully there will be a burial later this week in a Jewish cemetery just outside London.  

We wish Ron and his family a long life and strength during this hard time.

Peace on the neshama of Yitzhak ben Reuven Avraham.

Blessings,
Rabbi Marc
