He believed wholeheartedly in Israel and the Jewish people and one of his favorite charities was the American Friends of Bet El Yeshiva. He was passionate about investing. He worked tirelessly for his clients at Neuberger Berman. Whether meeting with analysts or companies, it was often remarked that Elliott was always the one who asked the best questions in any meeting. He was witty and smart with a dry sense of humour. Importantly, he was the one we most relied upon. In a pinch, Elliott was always there. He embodied the Jewish word "Hineni"-Here I am.
