Jacob Anhang was a sweet, gentle man that was interested in whatever you had to say. He would start a conversation with genuine love and care for the other person. He treated his family with the utmost respect and was very generous with everyone. He will be sorely missed.

It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Jake. He was a kind and gentle person with a wry sense of humor who will be missed by all. We've had the pleasure and honor of knowing him and Viviane as well as the rest of the Anhang family for over the last 20 years. It was always with joy that he greeted us when he came to Israel to visit his daughter Yael and her family, as he always made us feel part of his own family with his generosity. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Viviane, Mark and Yael and their respective families as well as Eli's z"l children, and we wish them courage and strength in these very difficult times. Baruch dayan haemet. המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים ולא תוסיפו לדאבה עוד תנצב"ה

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Mr. Anhang, a kind and gentle gentleman. I am surprised as it was 3 short months ago I saw him at No Frills looking hale with a smile helping Mrs. Anhang do the shopping. We will always have fond memories of his smile and interested inquiries on the family. We share in your sadness especially Mrs. Anhang who was always at his side. To Yael and all the children, losing a father creates a void in our heart that can only be partially filled by hanging on to our fond memories. May you be soothed among the mourners of Zion. our most heartfelt condolences min hashamayim tenuchamu yair and eva

Today marks the loss of one of the kindest and cheerful people I have ever met. His humor and sweetness always drew people closer, and his smile lit up a room. A man with only the nicest things to say, great stories and lessons to teach and a benevolent heart with generosity unmatched by most. He truly exemplified a true unconditionally loving father, a devoted husband and a special soul to everyone who had the honor to spend time with him. Your memory will forever be honored through your children and grandchildren and you are already missed by many. Sending an abundance of love to your beautiful family.

Jake Anhang was the legendary strong man of Shaarei Tefillah Congregation. Not only does the CN Tower owe its existence to him as the Buyer of all the steel that went into it, Jake would routinely build his own steel tower inside the Sanctuary, personally assembling steel scaffolding with whomever he could enlist, and climbing it to reach the chandelier lights high up in the vaulted ceiling. If there was a job that required strength, superior know-how, and attention to detail, Jake was the man. Friendly, solicitous, wise, and awesome, way over the top volunteerism, that was Jake. He will be sorely missed. May his neshama have an aliyah, and may his partner in all the above, Vivian, and their children be comforted.

Dear Vivian and mishpuche, so sorry for your loss.May u not know more sorrow . As your Machatunim we spent many memorable times telling stories, riddles, news articles, and even in the big ice storm, while the grandkids were in the car and I slipped under the car, Jake crawled on top the ice , so methodically to help us get out of the situation . That’s Jake always helping everyone with selflessness, brilliance, love, and care. We treasure all the naches and be’ezrat hashem as Machatainista and Machitin, as he always used to like to say, keep those times and memories in our hearts. Rachel and Jake atteslander

Dear Family, I am indeed sorry to learn of the demise of Jake. He was someone who valued people and the synagogue equally. His quiet , pleasant, caring , knowledgeable character made him such a gentleman. He and Vivian were a team . Their special and unique relationship guided them through many of life's highs and lows. Their family was foremost and always special to them . Having grown up in the shule their presence was key in making Shaarei Tefillah and the community what it has become. They welcomed my family on our return visits to Toronto. My parents , Shirley and Al Cohen admired the Anhang family. They treasured the times they shared. May the many fond memories which you cherished over the years help guide you in the days to come. Jake , you will be missed. BDE

i had the privilege of meeting Mr. Anhang z"l only recently through the shul shiur. He had some great insights and we had some nice conversations after the class where he shared his life experience. He was very proud of a picture on the shul wall and I could see how much the shul meant to him. What struck me was his kindness, generosity and sensitivity, He was concerned about the shul plant in the foyer not getting enough water (or too much?)and took the time to advise me and inquire about how my own plant was doing. His love and respect for his wife was also apparent. Although my time knowing him was brief, his impact was large. He will be missed by many. May Mrs Anhang and family share strength at this difficult time.

He was always a mentch, a thoughtful and profound man. His concern for family, shul and klal yisrael was always evident. I know you will be comforted by the many with whom you and he shared your lives. May his memory serve as a blessing to you and all who knew him.

Vivian, I am so sorry to hear of your beloved Jake’s passing. I remember speaking to him just this past March from Associated during the day of giving. He was so sweet. May you and your family have no more sorrow and cherish his wonderful memories. Thinking of you during this difficult time!?

Vivian, purely by coincidence, I have just learned of Jake's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences. I shall long recall his sunny personality, firm handshake and warm presence: he was a gentleman who conducted his life according to noble convictions. May you and your loved ones be comforted by his memory.

Baruch Dayan H'aemet, I am very sorry for the loss to your family. I always looked forward to seeing Jake at Shaarei Tefillah. At various meetings, I would try to sit next to him. I enjoyed hearing his stories and his perspective. Of course, I always looked forward to seeing him in the sanctuary on Shabbos, too He will be sincerely missed.

Dear Vivian and Family, Knowing Jake was a great privilege for me and our family. He was full of love of life, deep intelligence, humor and patience. He taught me gratitude and joy and to be happy with what I had whenever I met him. He cared about everyone he met, and remembered details about their lives. He was a man of great integrity and moral vision, who lived life the way he wanted to and never sought praise. I loved speaking to him, it was always both inspiring and made me feel happy and relaxed. We all loved him and respected him and delighted in seeing him. May you have the blessing of remembering him and having him inspire your lives. We hope his memory will give you deep satisfaction and the strength to carry on his acts of charity and kindness. Love, the Lipinsky Family (Barb, Jack, Baruch, Yoelit, Yehezkel)

I am so sorry to hear of Jake' s passing...As I grew up at the shul, I could see how Jake (then "Mr. Anhang") was at the centre of every discussion, involved with every shul event and all the while, brandishing a smile and being so kind. My father had always the most positive things to say about Jake, particularly concerning his selfless dedication to shul matters. My sincerest condolences...

I remember Jacob from Lord Selkirk High School in Winnipeg and then University of Manitoba,. He attended reunions and spoke of his furniture business and growing up near Higgins Avenue, where his dad had a grocery store. So sorry that Jacob is gone.
