RABBI MORRIS B. MARGOLIES

I had the privilege to deliver his mail while he and his wife lived in Leawood Kansas. They were very nice to me and I enjoyed talking with them. I hated that they had to move from their home to find a place that provided extra care but definitely understand. I'm glad I got a chance to meet these amazing people with so much influence on the world.

Rabbi was a great speaker. I enjoyed videotaping many of his lectures. He will be missed.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Maish as I called him. I was his secretary and dear friend from 1942 to 1947 at the Hyde Park Hebrew Center. He had a prfound influence on my life. Sallie Rubin Shulman O'Donnell, New Smyrna Beach, FL [email protected]

Rebbe Morris wrote a book about angels that is one of the best ever published. We were able, through his beautiful daughter Malka, speak with one another on the telephone... this learned man, this true rebbe-mensch and me, the mexican from the backwoods. All differences fell away when speaking with rebbe. Please accept my deepest condolences to you Malka dear heart and to all who loved him. May he of Blessed Memory be written in the Book of Life forever and ever.

I mourne his passing and would like to be in touch with Mrs. Margolis if possible. I was his chaplain's assistant in Korea. Charles Davidson, elkins park PA 2156 782 1374

I consider it an honor and priviledge to have been a friend of Morris Margolies. His visits to our home in Elkins Park was the highpoint of the High Holiday season. I especially appreciated his visit with us after our son Simon died. He wrote a column about it in the Kansas City Star entitled "life and death of a firstborn" I offer my sincere condolences to the mourners and know that good memories will always be with them. Fondly, Barbara Goldstein

I consider it an enormous privilege to have met Rabbi Margolies, however briefly, to have shared some sparkling memories of Salo Baron and Columbia University, and to have been the beneficiary of the gracious hospitality and generosity of his wife and son, Dan (a fellow graduate of Flatbush). I cherish the memory of the encounter, and the extraordinary keepsakes of Rabbi Margolies' remarkable library, and, by extension, his remarkable life. My heartfelt condolences to the entire family....

We arrived in KC too late to take full advantage of the rabbi's many talents, but he did counsel me on a subject which deeply pained me. My Hebrew name is Malka, his mother's name, and every time he saw me, he called me Malka. He was so very helpful and was the only one who could see both the Judaic and emotional side of my problem. I will be forever grateful to Rabbi Margolies for his inspiring interpretation of the situation and the nonresolution as he knew it, and he was right, putting...

I admired Rabbi Margolies more than I can adequately express in writing.
He was the first Rabbi I ever knew as I grew up in the northland with no opportunity to know in my youth Jewish residents of KC.
My most fond memory was when I asked him to speak at a memorial I was organizing for the shocking death of Governor Mel Carnahan.
It was a few weeks before the 2000 election and I asked Rabbi not to make partisan remarks. I thought he agreed but sure enough in his remarks he urged...
