Jason, we have never met in life, yet I feel we have, in spirit.With all the love your father has for you, it shows how dear you were and are to him. And always will be. Send him a hug and a smile, he needs it.

Jason, although we never had the pleasure of meeting you, we do know your mother, Karen. You are a constant source of inspiration for her and her love for you is everlasting. You would be very proud of her as she is so proud of you. With affection for your family, Marilynn and Ronny Winston

What can one really say. A loss like this on the surface makes no sense. The only thing I can imagine is that God needed to call a special soul up from earth to heaven to help the Jewish People in Shamayim.

Jason and I served at the same platoon at basic training in the IDF. He was the sniper of the platoon, he could hit the target from 500 meters. My best memory of him is that he was eating the canddies that my girlfriend sent me. I was shocked to hear about his death. I really hoped that he will visit us in Israel sometime in the future and we can all get together and remember. He was a great person and I'll miss him a lot

Jason and I were on the India Study Group together. I will never forget his enthusiasm for learning everything there was to know about a new culture.



There wasn't a new food he didn't want to eat, an instrument he didn't want to learn how to play, or a dance he didn't want to learn. He was one of the first men on my trip to shed his western trousers in favor of the more climate appropriate indian dhotis, even if they did look suspiciously like a skirt. Now that's a true adventurer.



I'll never forget him.

I did not know Jason personally, but saw him on TV and in the community with his Investigative Project work. I also did Tironut and our life tracks were very similar. He seems to have been a great man, and I hope the fact that people all over the world are saddened at his passing grants some comfort to his family. He did many wonderful things while here, which should fill his family with pride.

Like many of Jason's friends I lived in the same hall with Jason my freshman year of college. My Jewish identity at Colgate came earlier and easier to me than it did to Jason at Colgate and Jason and I discussed this often. Jason and I did not hang out a ton socially but we shared a special bond - the love of Israel and search for our Jewish identity. Before graduation Jason and I formed a special bond around our desires to dedicate our lives to the betterment of Israel and the Jewish people. Jason certainly was a man of his word. Deeply spiritual, during our last discussion Jay and I spoke at length about the passion that we shared for Israel and the ways in which he was true and lived according to what he believed.



My condolences to the Korsower family and I will make sure that Jason's legacy is carried on and understood by future graduates of Colgate who share Jason's passion for Jewish identity.

I didn't know him, but I just read about him in a "voice-of-judea" email. I just want to say to those mourning him, "Hamakom yinachem eschem b'soch sha'ar availay Tzion v'Yerushalayim."

I am so very sorry to hear of Jason's passing. I knew him while we were both students at Episcopal. His passing is so tragic, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

I was very saddened to learn of Jason's death this past week. Jason and I were classmates at Episcopal. We shared many experiences together during those long four years on the Hill. My fondest memories of Episcopal are the days I spent with Jason on the baseball field. Though we didn't keep in touch after graduating, I will always remember Jason for his kindness and sense of humour. He was very much cherished by our entire class and will be dearly missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Jason's death. I had the pleasure of meeting him during a basketball league. He was a very good player and an extremely nice person. All of the guys from "Monday night basketball" will miss him. It is with our deepest sympathies that we offer his family and friends our condolences.

To all of Jason's family and friends,

My thoughts and blessings are with you during this unspeakably difficult time. I met Jason at Pardes in Israel and although I did not know him very well, I sensed his kindness, gentleness, and sense of stability. I felt safer on hikes knowing that he was there. I don't really know what to say. May you find comfort.

B'shalom,

Lissa

To all who knew Jason so well and all of the family, I would like to express my most sincere condolences. I am his cousin and grew up playing with him for several years. It is so nice to read these things that have been written about him as I was unable to be around him as much after we were children. Jason - you are dearly loved and will be greatly missed - but never ever forgotten!

I am truly saddened to hear about Jason. I had not seen him much, if at all, since Episcopal. We lived in the same dorm where people get pretty close. Korsower was one of the nicest guys I ever met as well as being geniunely funny. My heart and thoughts are with his family

Aaron Lippman

I met Jason on Otzma XIII in Israel and can honestly say that he is one of the most incredible people I have ever met. His positive nature, honest interest in other people, unique sense of humor and intelligence were matched only by his loyalty and compassion. I offer my deepest condolences to Jason's family and thank you for raising an unbelievable human being who I was lucky enough to have as a friend.

Robin Axelrod Sabag

December 3, 2004

I met Jason during my year in Israel with Project Otzma. It is impossible to find words to describe Jason. He was an extremely insightful, caring, warm-hearted individual who was unique in so many ways. In all of the time that I knew him, I never heard him say anything negative about anyone or speak unkindly. He was extremely sensitive and it was obvious that he really cared about making a difference in this world. Although I did not stay in touch with Jason after Otzma, I heard about all of the great things he was doing and admired him greatly. He was unique in that when he believed in something, he acted on it, and never asked for praise in return.

I am extremely saddened to learn of his passing and send my heartfelt condolences to his family and the many friends he made around the world. He will be greatly missed.

Although I haven’t seen Jason in a few years I am very grateful for his friendship and the time I got to spend with him. When I visited Colgate as a prospective student I was lucky enough to be hosted by Jason and his amazing group of roommates in West Hall. That night I made up my mind to go to Colgate—an important decision in my life that Jason influenced. On my first day at Colgate I learned that Jason was living on the top floor of my dorm and was overwhelmed by his kindness and eagerness to help out and spend time with a clueless freshman. I’m so glad I had a friend like Jason in the class above me during those first few weeks of college and after. My thoughts are with Jason’s family and his roommates from West Hall and Andrews.

Adam Borod

December 2, 2004

I was a year behind Jason at Colgate and I know I speak for my entire class when I say that Jason was one of the guys we all looked up to as a leader, role model, and friend.



I feel fortunate that I was able to catch up with Jason in San Diego in May - I enjoyed hearing his informed and unique perspective on international affairs (among other things) and just being around him.



Someone wrote earlier that Jason lives a fearless life and I couldn't agree with that more. My thoughts are with his family.

Michael Schwartz

December 2, 2004

When I first chose Jason to be my pledge son, most people who didn't know him thought it was because he was just another Atlanta kid who somehow ended up in the cold, grey tundra that is Central New York. Maybe there was some truth to that, but there was much more.



The first time I met Jason he was a "pre-frosh", visiting Colgate during his senior year in high school and what struck me at the time was how he interacted with us. Jason had an uncanny ability to fit in almost anywhere, without compromising who he was or what he wanted, and I think that is what drew so many people - including me - to him.



We were not in contact as much as either of us would have liked after college, but whenever we got together we always seemed to be able to pick up where we left off, never misssing a beat. I don't know how many other people I could say that about.



My deepest condolences to the Korsower family. J - I'm going to miss you.

Sean and I were so sad to hear about Jason's passing. He was a wonderful person to get to know at Pardes in Jerusalem, and we truly enjoyed being with him during our Heritage tour of Poland that Hanukkah in 2001. We will miss him. May his family and friends be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

I had the fortune of hanging out with Jason about a year ago in NY and although we didn't do anything too exciting, it was a truly memorable evening. I spent the next day rehashing everything that came out of his mouth. He is by far one of the most unique and interesting individuals I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Ted

Matthew Murphy

November 30, 2004

My condolances to all who will miss Jason, but will remember him fondly and especially to his family. I know how upsetting such a sudden loss can be. What can I say about Jason? He was an incredible guy and a dear friend during my time at Colgate. Whether it was a road trip to Miami for Spring Break or a dinner out with him and my Dad the memories are nothing but fantastic. Though I have not spoken with him since my time at Colgate, the path he chose in this life since then is admirable and exciting. God bless you Jason and all those you left here behind.

Dorsey Stone

November 30, 2004

Jason was my "pledge-father" during the often unpleasant ritual of fraternal initiation into ATO. This basically meant he was the only one who was allowed to be nice to me. And he was. This may come as no surprise to anyone (being mean to pledges may have been the only area in which Jason didn't really shine), but it meant a hell of a lot to me. Being his pledge son made me feel like family. But Jason had a way of doing that.

Jason was one of the first "older guys" that I met at Colgate and could not have been nicer to this young freshman. I honestly cannot remember him without a smile on his face. I am so sorry for Jason's family.

Alicia Lisowski

November 30, 2004

I knew Jason through my brother Paul and spent many hours laughing with him both at Colgate and in Chicago. He always had the most insightful-yet-hilarious comments to add to any conversation. He was one of a kind, and we will miss him. My deepest sympathy to his family and close friends.

Jeff Ramsay

November 30, 2004

I met Jason sophomore year at Colgate while we were pledging ATO. Jason and I had an immediate bond, but as these pages will attest, Jason had an immediate bond with everyone. While we have gone our separate ways, I have followed what Jason was doing, because much like him, it was unlike anyone else. Jason had the strength, bravery, and integrity to follow his convictions around the world and back.



Jason and I reconnected at Hass's wedding in May, and we spent hours together talking about the election and the Middle East. His passion was only surpassed by his knowledge and his will to do something. We stayed in close touch, exchanging articles and thoughts as the election approached, and I was always amazed by his insight. I looked forward to visiting him in D.C sometime next year.



I once had a guidance counselor whose favorite expression was "keep smiling." Well Jason, even in your passing, I know you're still smiling, and I'll try to do the same when I remember you.

Fran Pollaro

November 30, 2004

I was very saddened to hear the news that Jason had passed. During the college years I spent a week or two with him, Clinton, and Hass in the Adirondacks. I got to know him very well and every time I saw him after that I saw him as a good friend that I had missed. I'm sure a lot of you have heard this story, but I always laugh when I think about it and it will always be a very fond memory of him. When we were heading up to the Adirondacks to go backpacking, Korsower was under the false impression that we were going to stop our car and pitch a tent. After Day 2 of the Hass's taxing itinerary, he looked at Hass, 1/16 angry and 15/16 exhausted, and said in that Southern accent, "Hayss, I thought you said we were goin' caympin'."



On the morning after Hass's wedding, we drove to the airport together, and we were saying how time always passes way too quickly when you see old friends. He was a great kid, and he is forever impressed in my memory and heart for the times we shared, as well as his extraordinary development as a man and soul. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

November 30, 2004

Karen, I know we have not been in touch over the past few years, but I think of you often. I know how much you loved your sons. They were such an important part of your life. My heart aches for you at this difficult time. I pray that God will give you comfort and peace.

I am deeply saddened and shocked at the news of Jay’s sudden passing. He was the first person that I met at Colgate. I remember walking into my dorm room freshman year to meet Jay, sitting and grinning on the blue futon of 502 West. I can still hear him as if he was here with me now, the signature Korsower, “what’s up dude?” From that moment, we were off. We all had many many great times with Jay and will miss him dearly. For those that were close and those that drifted apart, we all remember what a unique and amazing person Jay was. His dedication and pursuit of his own dreams and interests has always been an inspiration to me. May Jason’s spirit live on in each of us.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jason's family and friends after such a tragic loss. As we try to find the silver lining in all of this, I find comfort in seeing how Jason touched so many people with his sincere good will and his ability to become your friend immediately. Korsower was the first person I met at Colgate and he immediately welcomed me as a friend. Since I heard of his death, I have been looking at old pictures, and I can't find one where he isn't smiling. He will live on in the memories we have of him - a truly one of a kind person. The world lost a good man, and we lost a good friend.

Darcy Halsey

November 29, 2004

I am terribly saddened to hear about Jay's death this past weekend. I became friends with Jason my freshmen year, the first weekend of school to be exact, when we all took a road trip to see the HORDE concert. We had some wonderful and crazy times at Colgate together.

I had just been talking with Jay via e-mail in the beginning of the month and I was so glad to hear about his job and his life. He told me he was excited to get back and see his family for Thanksgiving. I am so glad that he did.

Jay was a bright light on this earth.

He will truly be missed. He was a special friend and a joy to know.

Chris Lanigan

November 29, 2004

Dear the Korsower family,

I'm shocked and saddened in hearing of Jason's passing.



As you might recall, I was one of Jason's friends, as well as one of his roommates during our senior yr at Episcopal. I have many fond memories of our time at EHS, and subsequent times visiting with Jason in Atlanta and NY.



I reconnected with Jason over the last few yrs, and he visited me as recently as last Fall in NYC. We had a great time as he was the same easy-going, good-natured Jason I knew at EHS.



My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Jason will be missed but not forgotten.

Best, Chris

Doug Lucey

November 29, 2004

In reading these warm and touching words, I was overcome by yet another flood of great memories from my time with Jason.



He was such an individual; he marched to his own drum, striking out to the wilderness of America, to India, to Israel and the Middle-East. He was a true thinker, yet he was one of the wackiest people I've ever met.



I'm going to miss him tremendously, and my deepest sympathies go to his family, who, after all, created such a great kid.

Shana Teig Kantor

November 29, 2004

Jason was a really wonderful and sweet person. Although I did not know him very well, we spent a year together at Pardes and played together on the co-ed flag football team. He was so much fun! I could not stop staring at a picture of our football team after winning the championship - his smile is so bright. To his family I can only express my deepest condolences.

Andy Bernard

November 29, 2004

I met Jason the first day of freshman year at Colgate when we carried a couch up that ridiculous hill from the pub to West Hall and were close friends from that point forward. Though our contact since college was not as frequent as we would have liked, I thought about him all of the time and was in fact just describing him and his accomplishments last week to some friends. I want his family to know how far reaching and deeply felt Jason's impact is. He is the friend of whom I am most proud because of the fearless, generous and warm hearted way he lived is life and I know that I am not the only person that feels that way. I am deeply honored to have counted him as a friend and will do my best to honor his life every day. My thoughts are with his family and all of those who Jason touched.

Ryan Hassanein

November 29, 2004

I am terribly saddened by this loss. Jason's relentless belief that he could make a difference in this world was only outweighed by the lasting impressions that he left behind in his 29 years.



I was Jason's roommate during freshman and sophomore year at Colgate. We became friends the moment we met, and I have always believed that we had kindred spirits. As not only an idealist, but a true believer, he embodied hope - hope of a better day to come. The many heartfelt messages on this page attest to the effect that Jason had on all of those around him. I am no exception.



The last time I saw Jason was at my wedding in May of this year. We sat together in my hotel room for 4-5 hours before the ceremony, finalizing my vows. There are not too many people that I would ask to help me with that sort of thing, but he was one of them. His perception of the world was informed by a deeper force - the same force that guided the important life-decisions that he made after college. The only comfort I can take away from his tragically short life is the knowledge that Jason had a very old soul. I will never forget him.



- Ryan Hassanein (a.k.a. "Hass")

November 29, 2004

After a few days of shock I still don't know what to say. This is such a tragedy. Jason was a true mensch. We spent a year at Pardes together, where we got to be good friends-- one of the things we did was play on the Pardes Flag Football Team together (we were league champions-- mostly due to Jason's skills). He was someone you always wanted to be around because he was such a good guy. He will truly be missed. May his memory be a blessing.

Andrew Schroth

November 29, 2004

I am deeply saddened and shocked to learn of Jason’s sudden passing. He was one of the first friends I made while at Colgate, and we remained close friends throughout college. Though I rarely got to see him after college because of geographical constraints, I always looked forward to hearing his perspective on issues ranging from Middle East politics to our plans for the evening when we did get to catch-up. Jason was someone who had clearly dedicated his life to making the world a better place, a rare quality in a culture where so many of us put self interest paramount in career and lifestyle choices. We should all be very proud of Jay’s accomplishments and his impact on the world around him, particularly in the short time he was given. I will miss Jason tremendously and my thoughts are with all whose life he was a part.

After looking at this screen for so long, I still find there are no words to exress my sadness and condolences, and to tell you exactly how wonderful a person Jason was - he meant so much to all of us. We made Aliyah and were on Ulpan Etzion together in January 2000. In only 5 months he touched so many hearts...so many fond memories. I especially remember when Jason, Tahg and I had our pictures taken and became the "poster children" of Ulpan Etzion in Amerrica for that year....my entire family has that picture and knows who you are, and how important Aliyah was to you and what you stood for. Our fond memories I will remember forever.

Heather Rubin-Erez

November 28, 2004

There are about a million funny and wonderful things I can remember about Jason. We were on Ulpan Etzion together and then he came to live on my kibbutz during part of his army service. He was a funny guy who was always ready to help a friend. I remember him playing with the kibbutz kids in the pool, throwing them in and beating them in ping pong! He was also a great help with my new puppy at the time, they bonded often on the couch together in front of the TV. I will miss Jason and my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Tahg Adler

November 28, 2004

Jason and I spent a few years in Israel together on various programs. Jason was funny, smart, insightful and always great to be around.



Jason was extremely talented and every body that knew him simply loved him. I literally have hundreds and hundreds of great memories with Jason from Project Otzma, Ulpan Etzion, the IDF, Kibbutz Tzora and the years after.



Just one small example of many; Jason helped pull me for our final 13 hour army march in the pouring rain (at the end of basic training). I had to carry the heaviest gun with amunition and was in complete agony for the entire march (turned out I had a broken foot). Jason helped keep my spirits up the whole time (physically and mentally). Jason was always the guy running up and down helping out the other soldiers during training. He never asked for recognition, he always went beyond the call of duty with pride and honor.



Jason was always respected by his peers and will always be in our hearts.



My heartfelt condolences goes out to all of Jason's family and friends.

Keren Jontof-Hutter

Even if I did not know Jason very well I went to Ulpan Etzion with him. I remember him as being a good hearted man always with a smile. I am very sad to hear what have happened and we send our condolances to his family and wish them a long life.

Jason was a fantastic person. Always positive and thoughtful. My thoughts are with his family and all of those who were lucky to have known him. All of his friends from Colgate will remember him as a deeply intelligent, sweet guy.

Neta Bargai

November 28, 2004

My Name is Neta Bargai, and I met Jason on kibutz Tzora while he lived there with his friend Tahg, who was our "adopted lonely soldier". I was glad when he came to visit my home with Tahg. My young son mentioned him just a few days ago, when he suddenly recalled that Jason had stayed after a visit and watched the movie Fantasia with him. We remember Jason as a sincere, intellegent, idealistic and pleasant young man. Although he went through an extremely difficult training in his army unit, I never heard him complain, and was impressed by his devotion and perseverence in the goals he had set for himself.

I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Jason's death. My deep condolences are extended to Jason's family and close friends for this tragic loss.

I knew Jason since his time at Pardes, where we learned together, and played basketball with him weekly for the past year in D.C.

Words cannot express how shocked and upset I am after learning from Jerami of Jason's passing. If any friends or family would like to be in touch with me, for any reason, my number is 202-641-1182.

Jason was both solid as a rock and as gentle as a person can be. I had nothing but respect and admiration for him, and am at a loss to absorb his passing. May his memory be a blessing.

Hi,



My name is Eric Danis. I was one of Jason's roommates in Israel. He was actually my first roommate here in Israel. He was always super-nice to me and during the entire time we lived together (almost a year), I can't remember him saying even one mean word. He was just a sweet, caring guy who always made us laugh and was very helpful, too. When we left to go back to the States, he gave me a few of this things that he couldn't fit in his suitcase. Looking at these things (books, t-shirts, etc) now makes me so sad.



Jason was an amazing person and every one here in Israel who knew him is devastated and shocked.
