Benno Wallach Obituary
Rabbi Benno M. Wallach passed away on his birthday, September 27, 2011 at the age of 88. Rabbi Wallach was born in Vienna, Austria to Mark and Lena Wallach.
Rabbi Wallach is survived by Madeline Harris Wallach. They were married in 1947 and enjoyed 63 happy years together. They have two wonderful children, Naomi Wallach Schwartz, married to Dr. David Schwartz, and Joshua David, married to Barbara, and grandchildren Michael David Wallach and wife Traci, and Daniel Harris Wallach, and a new great grandchild, Samuel Ross Wallach.
