Fay z”l was one of my mom’s closest friends. They belonged to the same society, The Farband of Lithuanian Jews , they travelled to Florida together and spent time together at each others homes. Your mom was so very kind, thoughtful, and intelligent. When my mom was ill Fay came to visit her at home, they talked, sang songs and always found something to laugh about. She was a very special woman. My condolences to her family, she will be missed.

To Fania's family, Our sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. Fania was a good friend of my mother/mother in-law Chayka Bloch. Chayka spoke very highly of your mom as to what she went through during the war and how she went around to schools telling her story. She was a beautiful soul. May her memory be for a blessing.

Fay was a dear friend of my grandmothers and someone I remember very fondly. I remember going to her home on Bayview which we called ‘the castle’ as a little girl. She was always so strong and so kind. My condolences to the entire family.

May Fay's memory be a blessing to all her knew her. Her Neshama is now together with all the other Neshama's of Zion and more importantly with Morris, who she loved and cared for passionately. I will remember her kindness and hospitably and the stories of her incredible life, a life of sadness, pain, overcoming immense challenges and coming out of it all with humility, success and love of life. A proud Jew who loved Israel and family. Fay will be missed.

The abhorrent acts committed by the globally recognized terrorist organization Hamas on the citizens of Israel are reprehensible. The blatant disregard for humanity and the destruction they have inflicted on our homeland and its people is heartbreaking. These atrocities have absolutely devastated our communities and many others around the world.

While Hamas may be working to create division amongst inhabitants of our homeland and throughout the globe, it is now more important than ever to stay unified as one. We would like to offer a place on our webpage for individuals in our community to share their messages of condolence to those who have been lost, their thoughts and prayers to all those who have been impacted, and their prayers of safety to those who are fighting for the security of Israel and its children

Please consider performing a Mitzvah in memory of those who have fallen.
