Allan and Joanne - Found this by accident. So sorry for your loss. Lanie Bergman

I am so sorry

I only learned recently of Rafi's passing. I was very sad to hear of this. He was a really good guy and I am sad that he passed away so early. In my memory he will always be a young, smart, friendly, uplifting guy that made everyone smile. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I was saddened to see that Rafi had passed. He had touched me and all of my friends at Ramah. As a camper Rafi was who I and all of the other campers looked up to as a mensch. He lead an inspiring Havdalah and Friday night service every week. His powerful service leading was one of the reasons alot of kids came to camp and alot of parents sent their kids to camp.

We are so saddened by Rafi's passing. Our hearts go out to Rafi's family, and to Sara Beth at this difficult time. May his memory be for a blessing.

We are so sorry for your loss, words are really not enough to express our sorrow. Jill and Reuben Hirsh

Dear Joanne and Allan,
There are many comforting words written to offer to those who lose a parent. But, finding a combination of words that say something to ease the pain of having lost a child has eluded the greatest of writers. We offer you what we would offer if we were entering your home on a shiva call, a handshake, the warmth of a sharing hug, our tears and the sweetness of your understanding how much we care and share your pain.
In friendship and love,
Stephanie...

Allan, Joanne, and Eli;
We were shocked and saddened to learn of your loss. We have memories of the warmth and closeness of your family from our time in Gainesville. Our hearts are heavy with this news. Our deepest sympathies to you, your family, his fiancee, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.

Joanne and Allan,

We are so very sorry to hear of your sudden and incomprehensible loss. When we first met Rafi when he was 5, he was already sweet, caring, funny, a real mensch. When so many other kids wanted nothing to do with our difficult son, Rafi stuck by him, a loyal friend. You must have been so proud of the fine young man he turned into. May his memory be for a blessing, and may you find comfort from the embrace of the many people whose lives and hearts Rafi...
