Luz and Israel Teicher

I worked with Luz at SLCC when I worked in the Biology Department. She was so lovely and kind and would brighten up the room when she would come to visit the office. The obituary is such a beautiful tribute and I wish I could have known Izzy as well. What an incredible and profound mark they left on this world. My thoughts and love are with you all.

I deeply mourn the family and friends of this married couple. My husband and daughter and I have carefully read the life story of Israel and Luz, and we are grateful to God that such wonderful people lived on this earth. We really hope to meet them in the promised New World, where people will no longer cry and lose their loved ones, in Paradise, where there will be no wars and rifts, but only love, joy and peace. May a merciful Heavenly Father give your entire family the comfort they need.

I am so sorry to hear of their passing. I knew Luz and Izzy from Chabad in Salt Lake City. I always looked forward to seeing them and their warm smiles. My sincerest condolences to their family.

I do not know Luz or Israel but I loved reading their story. I find myself wanting to know more about them and I am hoping that maybe there will be a book and or a movie about these beautiful people and their journey through life and their love story. I send my condolences to their family and want to thank them for sharing their story.

Wow....... Sounds like a couple who really had the answers. I didn’t know them at all.... but your tribute inspired a 40 year old man just try a little harder and love more during these difficult time.
Thank you!

Thank you for that beautiful tribute. I did not know them, but reading their story and life sketch has been the most hopeful and loving article I have read in months. I would love to have known them...what a blessing that they left together after a wonderful life together.

Vika, I am so very sorry... I only knew Israel less than two years and only met Luz once. They were such a fun couple and had a good relationship. I really enjoyed my time with Israel, as we partnered together over the phone doing Bible study and building our friendship. I learned a lot from him that I will always remember. He used to laugh at the lulls in our conversation, as he knew I was taking notes on the things he had said. He had a lot of wisdom. Simple living - things he said were so...
