Sending deepest condolences to Ron's family. He was a wonderful mentor in the law and a tireless advocate for those most in need. Ron made a outsized impact on an entire generation of young lawyers at Skadden. He will be deeply missed.

Ron Tabak was a good friend and fellow activist and congregant at Central Synagogue when I lived in New York. We both served on the Synagogue's communications committee, writing press releases and catalog blurbs for synagogue events, including the Jethro Award, which Ron created and ran for many years. In addition to committee work, Ron and I both attended (and loved) Friday night services and many of the courses on Jewish history that were a feature of Central's adult ed program. Although we corresponded occasionally after I moved to Washington, DC in 2013, I was not aware of his illness, and thus was shocked to find his obituary in the Times. Ron was a brilliant man, as well as a kind and compassionate one, with a love for Judaism and the law that was inspiring to all who knew him. The world will be a sorrier place with him gone.

Sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ron Tabak for the loss of a gentleman and a scholar and a sports enthusiast par excellence. Ron was a mentor and friend in the work against the scourge of the death penalty. He would scoff in his humility, but I always thought him to be one of "the 36" in the mystical tradition of the Tzadikim Nistarim. The world will miss him and may he inspirit others in his passing. Thank you, Ron, for your stalwart vision of justice and your tireless work on its behalf. - NMH, Amnesty International
