My deepest condolences to the Lehrman family. As a former resident of Miami Beach and a former Temple Emanual member, I have many found memories of the Rabbi and am sorry to hear of his passing.

I am so honored to have had Rabbi Lehrman as my Rabbi through my childhood and Bar-Mitzvah years. I will miss him, and remember his outstanding leadership on Temple Emanuel.

Dear Belle and family. Our family shares with you a deep sense of loss. Please accept our sincerest sympathy. Fondly, Ruth Schaffer
