Baruch Dayan HaEmet – Dr. Leonard Brown z”l

Dr. Leonard Brown (Leib ben Shmuel v’Bayla), father of Beth Ornstein, died peacefully at his home early on Thursday afternoon at his home in San Diego. He would have turned 95 on June 14th, he was aware until the very end and was surrounded by family for which he was very grateful.

Leonard will be buried on Sunday at 11am in San Diego and there will be two nights of shiva back in Boulder.

Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th at 7pm at Beth and Peter’s home
5265 Centennial Trail, Boulder, 80303

May the soul of Leib nem Shmuel v’Bayla be at peace.

Hamakom y’nachem – strength and comfort to the mourners, Beth and Peter, Adam and Maya and Beth’s siblings Linda (David), Richard (Ellen) and Andy and all their families.

Blessings,
Rabbi Marc
