Mark Rosenberg Obituary
Mark L. Rosenberg met his future wife, Jennifer, in 1995 on a seven-hour bus ride to Richmond, Va., for a Jewish youth program. He was trying to shine a flashlight on a book and turn the pages at the same time. She sat behind him, and finally offered to hold the flashlight. He gratefully accepted.
"I thought he was really cute," said Mrs. Rosenberg, who recalled being smitten by his green-blue eyes and smile.
Mr. Rosenberg, 26, a software developer for Marsh & McLennan, was no stranger to buses, or subways, for that matter. His friends called him "Mr. Public Transportation" because he favored mass transit over driving because of concern for the environment. His wife recalls him hailing a cab only three times during their courtship and marriage.
An avid cyclist, Mr. Rosenberg also used to ride from his home in Teaneck, N.J., over the George Washington Bridge and down to Central Park on Sunday mornings.
"He loved the city," his wife said. "He never wanted to go anywhere else."

I just discovered this Site. As I was watching the 9/11 memorial, I thought of you and your family. Many times I talk about H.Y.A. and cannot help but tear up when I think of you,Alisa and Jason F. May you continue to rest in peace. May Hashem continue to watch over your family and give them strength!
LET'S END ALL HATE AND VIOLENCE!!!!

I visited the reflecting pools this past Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016. I made a point of finding Mark's name, and was overcome with emotion when I found it. I remember him, and the whole family, with great fondness.

This wonderful boy was one of the beautiful products of the West Orange Jewish Community. I think of Mark and his family often, mostly during Yom Kippur Musaf, remembering his father sitting stoically with his prayer shawl over his head staring straight ahead as I tried to chant the words "and who shall die..." I have always cried during that prayer since then, an ironic gift of expression garnered from an unfathomable tragedy. Those who knew him will never forget the promise of great things to come that he represented. May his memory be a blessing to us all.

Mark, as a classmate in mta and strenger hall you were always pleasant and nice and had a smile for everyone. What I would now truly appreciate as a Baal midos.

Mark, I will never forget the constant smile and happiness on your face when you were a Dorm Counselor when I was in MTA. Every year I speak about 9/11 to the Youth Minyan I run and I invoke your name and memory. People like you are never forgotten.

I keep a link to Mark's info on my computer desktop. Mark witnessed my first child's wedding and signed her Kesuba as shown on the picture in the photo gallery here. I continue to hope that God maintains Mark's neshama (soul) in an honored place in the world-to-come.

I am a student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and today we held a special ceremony by forming an aerial photo representing the victims of the 9/11 attacks in the shape of the Towers and Pentagon. We each held up a sheet of paper with a victim name on it. Mine with Mark Rosenburg. I was honored to hold his name. I hope his family is well, and know that we will always remember.

Dear Mrs. Jennifer Rosenberg,
I hope you are well. As senior writer at the Orthodox Union (OU) I've been asked to put together vignettes from family members and friends of frum victims of the 9/11 attack for our fall issue. The structure will be an "as told to" format, which means the words will be yours; I will just make editorial, gramatic polishing. I write respectfully and sensitively, with the aim to inspire and uplift. I look forward to hearing from you. Here is a link to a sample of my writing: http://www.ou.org/pdf/ja/5768/summer68/42-49.pdf Wishing you much nechama and simcha, Bayla Sheva Brenner

Just found this guest book. I wanted to say that every year, Mark is on my mind. My husband and I both knew him as a bright soul, full of simcha and energy. I remember Jenny and Mark's first van ride to an NCSY shabbaton,and the silly "Hole in the Bucket" song he sang during the "Um" game at another shabbaton. My husband remembers him from impossible math classes at YU. And we both enjoyed the Shabbos Mark and Jenny spent at our home.
I like to think he's up there with Hashem, using that energy to advocate for all of us down here.
May his memory be blessed.

I recently met Mark's incredible sister and brother, Sara and Harvey, on Mark's birthday (which he shares with my daughter) at the WTC Tribute Center. I was moved beyond words to learn about Mark and will keep the Rosenberg family in my prayers always. Mark's legacy will live on in Sara and Harvey and in the many people they touch. God bless!

Dearest Mark,
I recently met your brother and sister. I praise God that they have each other, but understand that they will never be whole again. They love you to no end and had nothing but amazing memories of you. I pray that they continue to heal, but never forget. I may have never met you, but I can see the love and family values that you tried to instill in everyone you met. Harvey and Sarah are in my prayers, and I'll see you when I get Home too.

To all who have written,

Dear Jenny,
I do not know if you check this or if it is just too difficult. I have not written until now, because it was just too hard. I said tehillim for Mark as soon as I read his name, about 2 days later, I called Ben and asked him if it was your husband. When he said yes, I just started crying. I remember seeing you and Mark up near YU when I was first married, and thinking what a special bond you two had. I know that nothing will break that bond, and that it must have been very hard for you to go on. I want you to know that if you ever need to talk, or just need someone to rant at, I am here.

God Bless you.
I sit and wonder were we related? Were you one of my many cousins on the Rosenberg side of my family? I relocated to Texas in 1981. But forever I am still a New Yorker. Rest in Peace, Mark.

Sept. 11, 2002: Today we rode our Harley motorcycle, along with over 5,000 other riders, in a Patriot Day parade. We rode in the parade wearing a wristband with your name on it. We want you to know you were remembered and honored here in Phoenix, Arizona. We would love to send the wristband to your family. Hopefully they will contact us so we may send it to them. God bless you and your family.

Its hard to believe......
I still think I see Mark at places, but then I realize he is not with us anymore. I even take a double look sometimes. There was some hope in the beginning that he may be found so the mourning period never really started for me and it will never really end.
I remember seeing Mark in the summer of 2001 waiting for a bus in the heat of the summer on Queen Ann Road in Teaneck. I asked him were he was going. He answered; to help his sister move apartments in Manhattan. What a guy he spent the whole day in the heat helping his sister move apartments. My wife and I saw him and his wife also in the summer 2001 in the park going for a Shabath walk. I told my wife there is something very special about Mark that I cannot explain. It is almost that he does not belong in this world. I said that because I never met someone with so much life and enthusiasm. I used to talk to him after davening (prayer Friday night at Zmech Dovid. He always gave me the time and day and was a pleasure to speak to. He was courteous and friendly and only had a good thing to say.
I still remember playing basketball with him in Yeshiva University (I think he won that came). He was a dormitory counselor in the high school dorm . Very few people were able to hold that position. I will never forget getting an e-mail on 9-11 from his wife saying please say tehilim (prayer) for my husband he never came home. The first time I cried was when I went to a HASC concert 6 months later. They showed a short video on 9-11 and the twin towers were hit....
Mark, I am sure your soul is in a special place...

Mark's smile, joy of life, warmth, sense of humor and gentleness will never be forgotten. He meant so much to me and my Husband, he means so much to us still, and now to our son who shares his name. We were so lucky to have had you as a friend.

I would like to send my condolences to your family. My daughter who is active in NCSY knew Jenny and thinks of her at her time of need very often. She would like to be there for Mark and Jenny and their family. She will never forget Mark.
Our thoughts are with the Rosenberg family.

I've thought often: what are we supposed to learn from your death that we couldn't have learned from all of the other suffering that goes on in the world. Help your family and loved ones learn that lesson and find comfort.

My older brother by 3.5 years -
We cry every waking second of the day for you, for us, for the family, for the life you couldn't live. We pray for you as we hold each other tight and we promise to breathe and live your life through each other and our decendants.
You, Mark, are still my older brother, whom I look to for guidance, for support, for wisdom, for honesty, and especially for love.
My heart will always break. Harvey and I are missing 1/3 of ourselves and Jenny is 1/2 gone. Mommy and Daddy's tears are constant, but can we do -- what can I do -- what should I do...
Why did you have to go -- so soon...
Too soon.
How I love you, as I always will.
Your sister,
Sara
