I feel so enriched to have known my book club friend, Ruby Kreindler; she, from an urban centre in Canada and I, from a small town in Kansas, introduced by a mutual friend whom she'd met in Topeka, Kansas, also from Canada. That mutual friend, whom I met, coincidentally, in Jordan, not in Canada, formed a small book club of old and new friends of hers. Ruby and I were among them, some 10 or so years ago. Ruby's warmth, kindness, curiosity about our world, and willingness to share ideas both at our meetings and afterward were a joy in my life in these past years. And her strength and positive outlook in spite of the long duration of an eventually fatal disease was an amazing attitude in an individual for me to have experienced. I am so saddened that she'll not be with us in future. Her death is a deep loss, I am certain, for her family and old friends, but it is for this relatively new friend, as well. I shall miss her deeply.

Dear Simon and family, Heartfelt sympathy on the passing of dear Ruby. She was one of the kindest and sweetest women I know. She would never talk about herself, or what she was going through, but always showed real interest in how you were and what you were doing. She genuinely cared for Israel and our community . She and Simon had the most beautiful relationship, and I am sure all the family will miss her greatly. I know I will. l wish you all long life, and beautiful memories. Dodi Weill
