BERNARD SCHARFSTEIN

Bernie will be missed very much so. Words cannot express my sadness. He lived a great life and was loved by all. It was a pleasure being able to be a part of his care for so many years.

I was so saddened to hear of Bernie's passing. I was very fond of him and had much respect for his opinion ever since I met him when he published my first book in 2012. When I sent him an email proposal he first rejected it out of hand. But when I asked him to read the samples he did and then changed his tune. When I visited the USA he invited me over to KTAV in New Jersey where we spent many hours in amimated conversation. I visited him in his Manhattan apartment as well. He was a great...

Bernie was a truly fine person with whom I always enjoyed working. He had tremendous nachas from his children and grandchildren and a wonderful marriage. We stayed in touch after he retired and he never failed to mention how proud he was of his family. He also made tremendous contributions to the world of Jewish publishing. Truly a gentleman and a good friend, who lived a good life and leaves behind a wonderful legacy.

We will miss Bernie in more ways than he could ever have imagined. He was a fixture in our lives for more than four decades.

To his friends and family, my condolence. May our heavenly father bring great comfort and peace. Psalms 9:9

To the family and friends of Bernard Scharfstein. It is very difficult to accept and cope with the death of someone you love. God will fulfill his promise to comfort you in this time of mourning. Matthew 5:4

He was a good friend and will sorely be missed
