Rabbi André Ungar

A man and life to be remembered. Barney and Susie Guttman

In 1983 the Rabbi officiated at our wedding in our home in Teaneck, NJ; our second wedding following the conversion of my wife Judy. We had been married ten years prior by a Unitarian minister as a compromise between our two religious backgrounds.

My deepest sympathies during your time of grief. May your memories get you past this. I always recall the story of my mom and step father, who was married by Rabbi Ungar and then decades later I do work for his children.

Rabbi Unger is the reason I joined Temple Emanuel. His intellect, reasoning and concern for humanity defined him. His sermons were sometimes challenging but always interesting and moving. He consoled me during trials in my life and I feel fortunate to have known and learned from this truly great man. My sincere condolences to his family.
