Mark Golub

My husband and I watched the Rabbi's interviews and were always impressed with the respect and honor with which he treated his guests. He was a great inspiration and well-loved. He will be missed now and forevee.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. You were instrumental through I´m my becoming more observant

We're not Jewish but found Rabbi Golub to be an inspiring and educational voice for everyone. He was a wonderful example for all of us and I miss him a great deal as we continue to watch and enjoy JBS

In searching cable channels, about 2 months ago, I came across JBS and Rabbi Goldberg. Not knowing he had passed, I was more than impressed with his interviews of various figures. Amazing ability to capture the attention of viewers. Amazing also applies to him. Warn out phrase of someone being missed doesn´t work for me. Rabbi Golub, to me, irreplaceable. A true loss.

I have just recently become aware of JBS and have enjoyed Rabbi's teachings so much. They are a blessing.
I am saddened to hear of his physical death just today, so many months have passed since. I imagine he is missed by so many people for he was truly magnificent in all he has done.

I just heard of Mark Golub passing.
I first heard listened to his show when he interviewed the pilot from Wings of an eagle.
It was the most incredible interview I ever witnessed between him and the american pilot who helped Jewish people fly to Israel after ww2.
Mark showed deep respect for the man as he did always for the person he spoke to.
I am the better having known of him.
I will never forget him.

I enjoyed listening him interview and learning from his interviews I will miss him . rest in peace

Enjoyed watching Rabbi Mark as often as I could. Rest in peace my friend!

I´m going to miss watching you talk on the JBS. Truth was your way of life and outlook. Told correctly. See ya in the promised land Rabbi.

He is my favorite rabbi ever and I went to yeshiva for ten years and went my kids. He has made an immeasurable contribution.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Rabbi Golub taught me to appreciate Jews and "Jewishness". He taught me to look beyond prejudice and one-sidedness. I am a devout Christian.

Rabbi Golub was one of my favorite television clergymen. I remember in middle and high school watching the National Jewish Television 3-hour block on the Interfaith Channel (which no longer exists) and I loved the channel. Sadly, they took National Jewish Television off the air in 2006. One of the highlights was L'Chayim. He had an amazing ability to talk to people of importance to the Jewish community. Then in 2010, I watched Shalom TV on YouTube and saw more L'Chayim and other Jewish shows. Beginning in 2014, I would watch a number of Jewish shows in tribute to the National Jewish Television (Jerusalem Online, The Leon Charney Report, L'Chayim, A Cable to Jewish Life, Hineni, Talkline's Jewish Music Countdown, and RTN) almost every Sunday and remember the memories of all the Jewish shows I would watch every Sunday. Unfortunately, we will never have another Rabbi Mark S. Golub and there will never be anyone like him. Z''l. May his memory forever be a blessing.

As a non-Jew, I watched with great interest his programs. I admired him greatly. I just learned of his passing one year late since I live out of the country in the wintertime. My heart is heavy with sadness having learned of his passing only today. God take you into his bosom and give you life everlasting. Michael Reilly, Washington, DC

I got to know Rabbi Golub over the years by watching JBS on Directv. Learning the Aleph-Bet from his teaching is so good! I just watched "L´Chaim" with him interviewing Abigail Pogrebin regarding her book, "My Jewish Year". I´m so thankful to have known the Rabbi before his passing. He was very gentle, kind & easy for me, a Yeshua follower seeking her Hebrew roots, to understand.
I pray comfort & peace for all his family & friends.
Shalom Shalom!!!

I just now learned of the passing of my best high school friend. We were out of touch for so many years but visited twice over the past 10 years. When I visited him last in 2015, he was the same caring, sensitive, loving man I knew in our high school years. Still working hard as a Rabbi and in his media work. I have missed having Mark in my life, think often of him and I among so many wish he was still with us.

I´m so sad to hear the passing of Rabbi Mark Golub, I just now found out that he passed away on Jan. 31, I´ve been watching JBS for a year now, I am catholic and love my religion, I did enjoy watching JBS because of Mark, he reached my heart and soul, I will miss him dearly! R.I.P. Rabbi M. Golub

We have followed, enjoyed and learned so much about
Judaism through Rabbi Golub and his loving and consistent and compassionate self. His teachings have been in our lives for 20 years so he is a mensch who will be missed very much. May his life be as a beauty memory; and let his enquiring and creative mind remain as the remarkable teacher he was. We love his kindness and ability to be open to all sorts of Jews both in Israel and here in the U.S. Thank you for being so open and so welcoming to all who loved you and we will keep your memory alive.

Been watching L´Chayim about 4 yrs and that man taught me a lot about Israel and jewish people He is straight forward and not FAKE news -I Truly will miss Mr G. God bless that man

Rabbi Mark Golub was a monumental human who help my Jewish background become much more relevant to me. I will miss those wonderful interviews and heart felt conversations more than I can say. Everything about Rabbi Mark Golub was real and his thirst for knowledge captivated me. A treasure of a man and he will be deeply missed. My respects go out to his family and may this very dear soul rest in peace.

We discovered Rabbi Golub and JBS less than 10 years ago, and have become avid fans. We were especially grateful to have him in our lives during the pandemic. His gentle voice and inspirational programming help us stay connected during those lonely days. We were/are especially happy that JBS allowed us to stay connected to Cantor Daniel Mutlu and introduced us to all the wonderful clergy at Central Synagogue. Rabbi Golub will be missed

My mother, Irene Weiss, who is 102 years old was a huge fan and supporter of Rabbi Golubs. She had supported JBS because of him and 3 years ago Rabbi Golub called her at the request of Steven Greenberg and she was thrilled. She remembers him as a wonderful man. He will be terribly missed by many.

I wanted to learn to read Hebrew and found Rabbi Golub's video disks "From the Aleph-Bet". I was immediately taken by the Rabbi's friendliness and ease of teaching the subject. I am very sorry to hear about his passing.

I stumbled upon Shalom TV, now JBS, 13 years ago when I was feeling pretty down. Watching Rebbetzin Jungreis, Jewish 101 and Aleph Bet by the Rabbi played a key part in my early Jewish education before I converted. I am now studying for my adult Bat Mitzvah. Rabbi Golub is a significant loss to all.

I will miss him and his wonderful interviews. JBS is about the only show I watch on tv.

Saddened by the passing of Rabbi Golub. We lost a giant whose love of Judaism was unparalleled. He bridged Jews from different backgrounds always respectfully and lovingly.

I have been a devoted fan of JBS for several years. My favorite program has been L´Chayim. I found Rabbi Golub to be a thoughtful, informed, warm, respectful interviewer. A real mensch! I would have loved the opportunity to meet him in person. The Jewish community has suffered an enormous loss. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Rabbi Golub. As a Roman Catholic I did tune into his interview telecasts many times. He was such a charismatic, gentle and kind human being. My sincere condolences to his family and friends

I first saw Rabbi Golub as I was turning channels.I came upon him as a was interviewing Peter Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary fame. It was a fabulous interview and I was hooked to Rabbi Golub from then on.His interviews were different from any interviewer I ever seen.He had the gift of having the interviewe feel comfortable and his contagious smile made the interviewer´s extremely educational and interesting.Yes, I surel will miss him, however, there is a stanza from Tennyson´s Ulysses that really fits this sad occasion.It goes like this,"I am a part of all that I have met." Yes, Rabbi Golub will always bea part of me and him. We may be ofe of different faith but in the eyes of God we´re all brothers and sisters.
God Bless you certainly will live on my heart.
God Bless you and thanks for sharing your talent with us

He was an incredible blessing to so many. His memory lives on to continue that blessing. Baruch haShem!!

With great sadness we just learned about passing of Rabbi Mark Golub.
Great admirers of this extraordinary Man,
we will miss him.
His unique talents, his love of Jewish people and Israel, have been a guiding light for so many people around the world. His JBS programs brought joy, knowledge and entertainment, all through the highest commitment of serving Jewish people in Israel, America and people around the world, regardless of their nationality or religious affiliation.
He possessed wisdom and his ways where the ways of peace. He loved people and they loved him in return.
May his memory be for a blessing.

I never met Rabbi Golub in person but I feel as if I lost a friend. I looked forward to watching him interview and navigate speaking with politicians, scholars, authors, community and world leaders with such grace and elegance.
He was a true master of the art of conversation. He had a rare ability to connect with people, to draw out their stories.
Thankfully, his legacy will live on in the recordings and decades of work and memories of those he touched and in the countless lives he impacted through his work.
May his memory be a blessing and may his soul have an Alia.

A great man. He was a treasure in expanding an understanding of Judaism and its place in our world. As a Roman Catholic, I appreciated his depth of knowledge and his great role as an interviewer. His television presence was a blessing.

I never met Rabbi Golub in person. However for the past several years I have been watching JBS daily and learning so much from him and his many esteemed guests. I look forward to L'Chaim every evening. He had such a wonderful neshama and he was such a mensch with every guest he sat down with. He was able to treat everyone with tremendous chesed, and respect no matter what their religious or political views. I have an extensive Jewish and religious background. However, my world was unbelievably expanded each time Mark interviewed his guest. He will be missed by millions. May your family cherish many wonder-filled memories.
HaMakom yenacheim etchem betoch sh'ar aveilliei Tzion v'Yerushalayim.
May his soul rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Rabbi Golub´s passing. Although I live in Pennsylvania, I spent many high holidays at his Chavurah in Stamford with my sister and her family over the years. And the trip I took with him to Israel will remain one of the highlights of my life. Then there is JBS TV - what a gift to the world!

To both his family and his JBS family, I know your world has lost a shining light, but heaven has become that much richer. May the beautiful memories and constant reminders of happier days console you and ease your pain in the coming days

I was deeply saddened to learn of Rabbi Golub´s passing. Although I am from Pennsylvania, I spent many high holidays at his Havurah in Stamford with my sister & her family. And I will always treasure the trip to Israel I took with him back in 2007, one of the highlights of my life.

To his personal and JBS family, I know your world has lost a shining light, but heaven has become that much richer. May the beautiful memories and constant reminders of happier days console you and ease your pain in the coming days.

Rabbi Golub added immeasurably to my understanding and appreciation of Judaism. He was also a fine example of how a Jew should conduct himself. It was always a special treat to watch him on JBS. I am grateful to him for representing Jewish causes as well as he did.

Most sincere condolences on your/our loss.
Rabbi Golub improved the world beyond measure.
His legacy will be a blessing forever!
Chuck Whitehill

my condolences to the family of Mark Golub. He will be missed. Mark is the most generous and caring person I have ever met. I was privileged to be part of his softball family. He was a great competitor and allowed his team, 4 corners, which he said was assembled from the 4 corners of the earth, the ability to shine with him as our leader. Rest in peace.

we watch jbs everyday! i was watching last night when i found out! thank you for everything you will be missed

Mere words are not sufficient to fully share the incredible impact on Jewish life that Rabbi Mark Golub had upon not just the two Chavurah (gathering) congregations in Greenwich and Stamford, but the whole of the United States and beyond. His knowledge and enormous creativity served to help him establish the Jewish Broadcasting System television network. He reached millions of beings with the network's wide range of informative and uplifting programming. Rabbi Golub had an incredible facility for not only reaching out to people of all backgrounds but he had the ability to reach into a person to bring out their most valued qualities and personality. He was a giant of man and he was able to touch so many, many people. He inspired, he motivated, he educated and he shared his enormous talents and skills generously up to the very end.... He will be so missed by so many. While we all mourn individually and collectively as is surely appropriate now, it is my prayer for his beloved family, congregations, followers and friends that in time we will be blessed with only the special golden, happier memories of better days/years we shared with this rare human being.

Mark had Lena´s Jewish naming as part of the Yom Kippur service when she was10 days old as a symbol of the Jewish value to "choose life."

MARK WAS A PERSON WHO ENGAGED WITH ALL WHO HAD THE HONOR OF BEING IN HIS PRESENCE. HE WAS THE INTERVIEWER WITH INSIGHT KNOWLEDGE AND GRACE. I AM FORTUNE TO CALL HIM A FRIEND AND TEACHER. HE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER THRU JBS. MAY GOD REST HIS SOUL. AMEN

Rabbi Golub´s L´ chayim interviews were insightful. I learned so much about Judaism, Israel, and perspectives on life events. He would challenge the interviewee on issues, but in a respectful manner. I am truly saddened by his passing.

A JBS viewer.

My deepest condolences to Rabbi Golub's family.
I have been a devotee of Rabbi Golub for many years, watching him skillfully, artfully, and intelligently interview so many people from and within the Jewish world, on JBS. His love for the Jewish people and for Israel was so clearly demonstrated through his actions and his words. I learned so much from Rabbi Golub, and I have embraced my Judaism more closely as a result of being his 'student.' His humility and kindness radiated at all times. regardless of who he spoke to and regardless of whether or not he agreed with a position.
The Rabbi's passing leaves a deep hole in my heart. I pray that his memory will be a blessing for his family, collaborators, friends, and the many, many people around the world who have come to know and love him.
May Rabbi Mark S. Golub rest in eternal peace.

Mark was the rare combination of a brilliant and compassionate man. He was generous with his time and talents. I am also forever grateful for how he helped me on a personal level. His love for Ruth and his children was inspiring. His light will shine on for those of us fortunate enough to have known him---with Love Debbie Cline

Although I just discovered Rabbi Golub and JBS mere days ago, I was drawn to him and his message. His positive attitude and the way he treated his interview subjects inspired me. I am so sad for all who loved him and grateful that he was here.

Rabbi Golub was a wonderful and thoughtful man who will be greatly missed.

Dear Ruth and Family:

So sorry to hear about Mark's passing. May his memory be a blessing for your entire family.
