Isaac Nathan Lerer

I am very sorry to hear of Rabbi's passing. Some of my earliest memories of my life involve the Rabbi and being at the Center Street location. He will be missed by many!

We are so sorry for your loss. Our deepest condolences go out to you and your entire family. Michelle and David Bernstein

We are sad to hear of Rabbi Isaac's death. Memories abound. He was a wonderful friend to our parents/in-laws Rose and Harold Weingarten. His many kindnesses to them both, his concern for Rose after Harold died, his help to us when our brother Mark died - all these things will live in our hearts.

Dear Mrs. Lerer,
