Dr. Jared Sharon

I worked with Jared while a social worker at CMC and knew him from Corcoran prison as well as CBD. He was a wonderful man and always friendly to me and my wife, Carol! He will be missed by us! Michael Shaffran

Jared was kind and quiet but served his community well Sorry for his passing but he is moving on to a better place Sending prayers to his family

Our hearts go out to you and your family. Jared was such a mensch, teacher and Torah scholar. You were always so kind and inclusive to Mom (and us! ). She was always so happy to share with us whenever she studied with Jared. Baruch Dayan Emet

Dear Maureen, Reading this brought so many good memories of Jared and you. We joined CBD in 2000, and you both were of the first to have met. Randy and I felt very fondly of you both. We are deeply saddened by the news of Jared´s passing. Our hearts go out to you and your family. With love, Judy and Randy Harris
