It is with much sadness that I write and express myself now at this loss of Rabbi Stanley Urbas. Growing up in Yorktown Heights, I knew Rabbi Urbas when he became the Rabbi of Yorktown Jewish Center back in the 1950's. My parents were 2 of the founding members of the Synagogue. Before the Synagogue was built, Dr. Eisenstark, another member, opened his house temporarily for youth group meetings. The actual services and meetings continued in the newly purchased house which was replaced with the new synagogue building. It was a sheer delight and exciting to meet and know Rabbi Urbas. He immediately extended his warmth, wisdom and friendliness to our family and the community. We had the joy of having him perform a family wedding and Bat-Mitzvah. My father, Samson Solomon, so enjoyed the Sabbath service and the weekly discussion Rabbi Urbas offered at the conclusion of each Sabbath service. I, myself, enjoyed the High Holiday Services each year, and in that era, walked a few miles to Synagogue with my family. We were all so fortunate to have Rabbi Urbas in our lives. May he be at peace knowing what an inspiration he was for so many of his congregants.

On behalf of the entire NYP-Hudson Valley Pastoral Care team, we want to convey our love, respect, humor, and kindness that Stanley brought to each of us, the patients, and the staff here at the hospital. Stanley is a gift that will continue to be opened and spoken about. We miss him. Love and prayers to his family that he spoke of so often.

Rabbi Urbas defined for me what a "Rabbi" was. So sorry to hear of his passing. He touched many lives.

Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Rabbi Urbas, a man I've known since carpooling in his Chevrolet Nova along with his children to Solomon Schechter School of Westchester back in the 70s. I recall his strong commitment to Judaism (obviously), his love of family, his sense of humor, and his all-around great Canadian personality and demeanor. Condolences to the entire Urbas family.
