Message of Condolence

Jerrold and Tzippy Landau

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Simkha. I would often run into him on the street while walking to our various shuls, and he would always share a Dvar Torah, and often a mathematics riddle as well. I have pleasant memories, and will miss our encounters. May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Dear Mrs. Berkovich and family, Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences. Simkha will be dearly missed by us at Bendix. He was a teacher and a guide to us. A very wise yet humble and caring human being. Not just at work but I remember when travelling to Israel alone I lost my passport and was in a panic when like God sent Simkha and you showed up for me and took care of me all throughout the flight. Will always be forever grateful for that day and for all the knowledge he shared with us. May his soul rest in peace. May the Lord give you all strength during these difficult times.

Sarah and family. I was so saddened to hear of Simcha's passing. I remember him as a very pleasant gentleman. Hold on to your wonderful memories and know that his outer shell is gone but he is with all of you and always will be. I will try my best to come to the shiva and regardless, my heart is with you. Hamakom Yenachem Etchem Betoch Shaar Avalei Tzion ve Yerushalyim and know no more sorrow. May Simcha Z"L be at peace in Gan Eden. Love, Janice Lebow

Dear Miriam & Family, May the fond memories of your father, z"l, and the legacy he leaves behind bring you comfort and strength at this time of sorrow. I have vivid memories of your father, z"l, attending Mincha/Maariv services at B'nai Torah and meeting your children there to carpool them home after davening. The relationship between Zaidy and grandchildren was beautiful to see. May G‑d console you together with all mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Sincerely, Alan Zuck & Family
