Not sure what to say?

A good man with a lot of kindness.

May his memory be a blessing

Mark was a such a sweet man. He was a comfort to me when my mother was sick. He was well liked. I will miss him. May the Almighty comfort you among the mourners for Zion and Jerusalem.
With Sympathy,

So sorry to hear of the Rabbi's passing. I am a member of Bnai Abraham Synagogue and developed a close and endearing relationship with him.

Nothing but fond, wonderful memories of him come to mind and I know that will be so for the balance of my lifetime. Sincerely, Herbert G. Litvin, Esquire

Mark was someone I look up to and so many different ways he would call me out of the blue to tell me one of his very funny jokes I could always count on him to put a smile on my face he was a breath of fresh air uplifting spirit kind hearted always thinking of other people before himself Mark you will always have a special place in my heart may you rest in peace your friend always Kim

B"H
Rabbi Shrager spearheaded the establishment of a Jewish choir incorporating many Jews from Bnai Abraham and neighboring Orthodox, Conservative and Reform congregations in the Lehigh Valley. Through it the Jewish community was united in song and prayer. He was a "mover & shaker" in the Orthodox Jewish community in North-Eastern Pennsylvania. May the Almighty comfort you among the mourners for Zion and Jerusalem.
With Sympathy,
Jon Gamel, former choir member.

Rabbi Shrager was a kind, caring compassionate and intelligent human being. We will miss him immensely, however, the impact he had on our lives will remain part of us forever.

Beth-

I did not know your brother, but I want to offer my condolences. Reading the previous posts indicates your brother was a special and well-respected person.
You might not remember me, but we were at Willow Grove Day Camp together. Your aunt, Lizzie, lived near my grandmother on Pemberton Street.

I am honored to have had Rabbi Shrager as a teacher, a spiritual guide and good friend. I will always appreciate how Rabbi welcomed Mom and me with open arms into Bnái Abraham, as well as my family. I'll always hold a special place for Rabbi Shrager in my heart.
