Having Stanley in our lives while he was our Rabbi at Temple B'nai Israel was a true joy. He and Marianne were dear and wonderful to all of us and we are all better for having known them. Our condolences to Marianne and the family.

Rabbi Dreyfus, the epitome of the rabbinate. Although we hadn't seen one another for decades, I will always remember him as the man who led me on my return to Judaism. He will be deeply missed.

Twice last year Rabbi and Mrs. Dreyfus hosted me at the same Brooklyn apartment where they hosted my mother forty years ago. They treated me like a long lost grandson. Rabbi Dreyfus was a rare human being, tremendous as a scholar, a leader, and a family man. I miss him deeply. My sincere condolences to his wonderful family.
