Not sure what to say?

Rabbi Glaser was a part of my life's tapestry: My mother in law was one of his teachers in the early grades; he married me and my husband; he was the reason I attended services in Elmont Jewish Center - it was pure inspiration just to listen to him; he officiated at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and no matter where I attended High Holy Day services after his retirement, no other rabbi ever awoke my spirituality as did he. I believe he was a rabbi's rabbi!

Sincere condolences on your loss. Growing up in Elmont, Rabbi Glaser was a major part of my childhood and continued into adulthood. I even remember when Larry lived in East Meadow for a bit and we saw each other in the East Meadow Jewish Center.

Our deepest condolences to your entire family.. your parents were an integral part of our families life in Elmont. Remembering fondly my bat mitzvah , wedding and many memories with your dad and the impact he made on so many. Living in Florida now so sadly can't attend.
