Richard B. Silverman

I remember Carton Silverman since he help me get through my Bar Mitzvah when I was 13 yrs old at Temple Isaiah in Lafayette, CA. He would record all my blessing in Hebrew from all the Torah portions and Half Torah portions I had to remember. and everything I had to remember on a cassette tape that he made for me. I appreciate everything that he did for me. And for closing looking back I remember all the fun songs because play on his guitar at our temple that I grew up at. Thank you for...

I was among one the early adult bar/bat mitzvah classes the Richard taught at Temple Isiah of Lafayette. What a joy that class was. Richard's sense of humor, his warmth provided us with an experience we will never forget.

Many warm memories of our friend Richard. He was a good friend a wonderful Cantor and teacher. Won´t forget the individual songs he composed for each Bar or bat Mitzvah child and for everything from weddings to funerals. Most of all we will remember his compassion and kindness. May his memory be for a blessin

I will forever miss you and the way you accepted me as your daughter after my parents passed. The fondest memories of you asking where my shoes were when I was young and never wore them. Our conversation about religion and the last movie we watched together (the source code). I will remember you forever. I appreciate the love you gave me and your hugs. My condolences go out Bayta, Sarit, Elan, Heather, Sarah, Jake and Emi. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
