Seth was my son's therapist for a while, and we are saddened by his passing. My son says, "This is the first time I have experienced real grief. My serious condolences to his family." Thank you for making a difference in our lives, Mr. Seth. We are donating to the Rabbi Peter and Elaine Knobel Soup Kitchen at Beth Emet in your memory.

Seth was my therapist for over 3 years, and he's the best I've had. He always did his best to offer support in whatever way possible. My deepest condolences to his family.

I met Seth as well as Jeremy as a member of Beth Emet. I found a funny, caring person and like his mother of blessed memory could fill a room with his presence, smile, and jokes. I also saw his love for his parents and Jeremy and his kids firsthand. My condolences to the family and his name will always be associated with kindness, caring, and family.

I am so saddened to learn of Seth's passing. I met Seth in 2016, at Leadership Howard County, in Maryland. I could depend on Seth to have a comment that would make me smile. After we graduated in 2017 from Leadership, our paths crossed a few more times due to our professions. He will be missed. His children, extended family, and friends are in my prayers.
