I am taking my High Holidays comprehensive exams for Cantorial Ordination...when it is especially tough I hear your voice saying, "Just get the stuff done and move on!" It makes me smile and reminds me of the legacy of support and caring you left each person who knew you. You helped us see our potential and reach for it. I miss your great sense of humor and the depth of your spirit, Lisa-

Dear Betsy,
I was only just informed today.
My fiance and I were engaged last May, and we had no other Rabbi on our minds when thinking of who should marry us. I thank the both of you for everything you have given my family, and me in particular during my Bat Mitzvah, that could not have possibly happened with out you. With this immense sadness, I am grateful for having known him and will always cherish our time together (especially while writing the Golem story).
I hope we will meet again soon.
Sending all my love,

Betsy,,, i just saw the notice of Donny's passing in the Clark Magazine that arrived yesterday. I will be sure to pass along the news to Gary Murry, Howard Kaplowitz and Bob Heimowitz. Donny and I and all of us spent such wonderful times together at Clark and, with me,, before that in Brookline. I mourn for him and send my most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I hope you remember me, as I do you, and ask you to find me on facebook or write me at [email protected] to say hello and share more pleasurable times. The loss of that hulking guy with whom i shared so much strikes me very severly this morning,,,,,,,,,,,all my love, Joel Hyman

Hi, Betsy,
Yaeko just emailed me to tell me of Don's passing two weeks ago. It has been so nice to get to know both of you this past year working alongside you both at the Lumiere seder as well as our recent bar mitzvah in Lexington. The genuine warmth, caring, and humor both of you bring to your work will resonate into the future. I certainly hope that our paths cross again. Take good care until then.

Dear Betsy,
So very sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was such a kind, warm, and thoughtful man. I remember so well the first time we met, the instant connection and admiration we felt and the sense of spirituality Don brought to all of our lives. I remember the hours filled with enthusiasm he spent with Max imparting his love and understanding of jewish humor, his sense of commitment and generosity to all, his affection and great bear hugs, his honesty, his wisdom about life, his positive attitude and strength in the face of life's challenges, his intellectual curiosity, his contagious laughter, his great scrabble moves.....
Hard to believe Don is gone. What a tremendous loss.
Know that you are all in our thoughts....
and when you are ready, we are here....
With lots of love and sadness,
the wechters

Dave and I were so shocked to hear of Rabbi Don's passing. He married us and celebrated Bebe, Sol, Gus and Louisa's births. Such a wonderful man, spiritual advisor, confiante and friend to all of us. Who can ever forget his signature phrase, "another episode of Jewish Family Theatre?" We will all miss you but carry your words with us.

Betsy,
Mike told me of Don's passing last night. I had been traveling. Despite meeting with you both at times mostly of joy or sadness, I always enjoyed his hello hug and great humor. I guess the degree to which I am stunned at his passing reflects the joy I had from him when he was with us.

We are so saddened to hear of Rabbi Don's passing. He has left us all and is irreplaceable. Wise, compassionate, kind, generous, and such a great sense of humor! We were blessed to know him and have him in our lives. He counseled us, performed marriages for our children, and created beautiful naming ceremonies for our grandchildren. Most of all, he was our devoted friend and we will miss him so very much.

Dear Betsy, Adam, Sarah et al- None of our lives will be the same as when we could laugh or talk or be with Rabbi Don...yet because of him we will be able to live life better than we ever could have if we did not know him. He was the embodiment of warmth, caring and generosity for so many...his love will continue in concentric circles from every one of our lives and we will have one another...this is the beautiful legacy he left - much too soon. It was my absolute priveledge to serve as "cantor" over the past 15 years. From Don I learned what the job is really about...to be with people and offer the song in all of our hearts. His life was a rare gift. Thank you all for sharing it so lovingly...I know his relationships with you gave him"the courage to love." May his name and memory be for a blessing.
All my Love, now and always,

Dear Betsy and family-We are deeply saddened when we learned today about Don's passing. To the extent we had a family rabbi, it was Don. He mentored and presided over the Bar and Bat Mitzvah of our children over a decade ago, counseled the us about Jewish and life issues, and was a lasting positive influence in our family. His wisdom, humor and embracing warmth exuded in all his interactions. Even if we didn't see him often, he still touched our lives. He was our rabbi, friend and special mensch. We will miss him.

Dear Betsy, You and Don saved me when my life was in "free fall". When my husband,Bruce, died, Don's name was given to me to officiate at the funeral. He was a source of strength in the months to follow for me and for my four daughters. The two of you became family to us. How fortunate that we could share the happy times with you as well - my daughters' weddings, my granddaughters' baby namings. We are blessed to have you in our lives. I hope you can feel the love that surrounds you now and always.

Dear Betsy,
I am terribly sorry.
Rabbi Don was a man of great intelligence, compassion, kindness, wisdom, generosity and love. I will miss him, his smile, his wisdom and his friendship. He will always be in my memories. We were hoping to have him in our lives for many years to come. He made the world a better place and touched the lives of so many of us. Sadness and sorrow are in my heart and the only solace is the memory of his voice and his smile.

Dearest Betsy. All of my love is with you now. Each day that i live this life, it is all the better, brighter, truer, deeper, and beloved for having been touched by the gift of Don's life. He was my mirror, and an endless reservoir of strength, beauty and wisdom for me in the moments when i forgot how to find it for myself. He is one of the most beautiful human beings i have ever known and I will miss him so very much. I haven't felt my heart ache like this in a very long time. All my love to you and your family Betsy.

We were present at a Bat Mitzvah that Don officiated, and were truly moved and inspired by his wisdom, kindness, sensitivity, and intellect. He seemed to have been an exceptional person, and those who worked/studied with him were undoubtedly profoundly affected by the experience. He leaves a very powerful legacy.

Rabbi Don's passing is a shattering blow. He was a truly great man, the embodiment of love and humanitarianism. He taught me so much about living a meaningful life and I will miss him deeply. I feel honored to have known him and am forever grateful to have had him in my life. Don touched the lives of so many and through them and through their children and their children's children Don's light will shine brightly on this earth for a very long time.

Rabbi Don,
I was so lucky to have spent almost a decade with you, I think anyone would say this. You transformed my life, you helped me to become the young lady I am today. I am eternally grateful. I don't think words can really describe how much I love you and miss you! You will be in my heart and mind forever. I will always look to your wisdom.
Love,

You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers and those of everyone at Pine Manor College. To think that Friday was the last time I saw his kind eyes, enjoyed his gentle nature and heard his voice ---- who knew HE could get laryngitis?
Don lives on in everyone he met, every life he touched and every ceremony he officiated.
We were all truly blessed by his presence in this life.

Don was the only Rabbi a family would ever need. He helped my family through tragedy and in moments of great joy. Don's warmth and empathy blended a bit of religion with much emotional understanding.
We very much enjoyed poking fun at each other. He gave generously of himself to many, being both tolerant and kind. His death is a great loss and I will miss greatly. Michael Jellinek

I am sure that so many people feel that Don was "theirs" because his warmth and focus and embrace felt so present and therapeutic. I feel grateful for the support that he and Betsy gave to me around my marriage and for the Passovers and the friendship. I always left my times with Don with a new curiosity about something that he told me or mentioned; he inspired wanting to learn more. Don was a scholar and a mensch and people were drawn to him because his light was bright and warm and welcoming. I will always remember this cozy, intelligent man, and I can hear his laugh and his amazing Boston accent, they shine through this dark time. I send my love to you Betsy and Adam and Sarah.

For us, having him as part of our lives has been nothing but a blessing.

When I was with Don, the world seemed a bigger, more luminous place. This was because of the radiance and size of his personality. I loved his embraces-he wore the most fantastic cologne and always smelled heavenly-and when he spoke, he held you in a warm, intelligent gaze. We adored our wedding and the pastoral counseling before. Don created a joining of families and cultures with immense wisdom and lots of laughs. Married by Rabbi Don, you knew you were embarking on a most solemn, eye-opening, ecstatic journey. You would be Married. This was a mitvah, a commandment, and a blessing which you had to earn and be thankful. His High Holy Day services were striking, unique. They focused on the individual's responsibilities: personal, familial, social, world citizen. More socially oriented than most rabbis, they could be a point of argument among those who listened. And what is more Jewish than a healthy disagreement? At least you knew you wouldn't fall asleep during Don's services. Len and I are also grateful for the strong loving friendship Don and Betsy had with my parents. It seemed so natural that they would love each other. He married my sister and Charles, named their children, and married several friends. Don was larger than life in personality, humor, and opinion; he was a big man whose physical size was gentle and powerful at once. I revered his knowledge,and loved him, and will pass his memory on to my children, who he held as newborns and blessed. Valerie Berger Blanchette

Betsy, my fond memory of Don is of him presiding masterfully and jovially over the kitchen during your wonderful parties. His mischievous wit and ability/willingness to discuss ANYTHING from ANY perspective made him a great conversationalist. Think what rare camaraderie and loyal support you gave him through your long marriage and partnership, and how that enriched his life. I wish I could attend the funeral and/or visitations, but I'm booked to visit my Mom in Michigan. I'll catch up with you, and see what I can do to help.
Karen Sontag
October 13, 2011
I grew up in an inter-faith family; my father was Jewish and I was raised as a Catholic. When the sad day came to plan my father's funeral, I called on Rabbi Don who I had met at a friend's wedding. He did a wonderful job pulling together a service that honored my father and integrated everyone. He was wise, loving and supportive at a most difficult time for me and my family. I feel like I have lost “my� Rabbi but I know that pales in comparison to the loss for his family and community. Betsy, Sara and Adam, my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Rabbi Don will always represent an immense reservoir of love, wisdom, humor, and the essence of the term mensch for everyone who knew him. I'll never be able to fully describe the influence he had on my life and how I approach the world, but I know Don will always live in my heart and my soul. For that I will be forever grateful to this great, great man. May his memory be for a blessing.
