CARL RHEINS

Zikhrono livrakhah, May he be remembered as a blessing.

Carl and I were friends at SUNY Albany over 50 years ago. He was warm, funny and a wonderful listener. There were very few Jewish grad students, so we had a lotbin common. I once had a real problem and Carl was there to provide a sympathetic ear. I'm thrilled to learn that he was so successful on his endeavors. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Fondly remembering Carl

My deepest sympathy to the Rheins family. He was my professor at Adelphi U. In a holocaust studies class. He was a wonderful teacher and was a mesmerizing storyteller.

Dear Brenda,
It is with great sadness that I send condolences. I have a lifetime of memories of Carl as friend of the family, counselor, advisor, and so much more.
May you and your family find comfort among the mourner of Zion and Jerusalem.
Until we meet again in happier times.
Much love, Miriam

Dear Brenda, Jason, and Jaclyn,
My deepest condolences on the loss of your dear husband and father Carl. He was a good friend, a distinguished scholar, a devoted Jew, and just a mensch. I can recall how hard he worked on bringing Elie Wiesel to speak at Stony Brook when he worked for the Provost and how he often represented the interests of the Jewish community from his pivotal place in the University Administration. Carl also played an important leadership role on the Hillel board of...

Dear Brenda and Family. I saw your words in the Times. I fondly recall that Carl taught for me in the Suffolk Hebrew High School program for 11 shuls. He "wild" hair made it difficult for a kipah to rest! As a scholar and teacher he was par excellence. His knowledge made him at the top of his profession. And I remember YOUR work with the Jewish community as we tried so hard to give content and substance to Suffolk Jewry. My sincerest condolences to all of you. Jewry is the poorer for Carl's...

I'm so sorry to hear that Carl has died. My heartfelt condolences to you, Brenda, and to your children. May his memory be for a blessing.
