Tibor Juda

Laya, as you and your family have been there for me over the years, I will be there today and always for you. My deepest sympathies my girlfriend. Ellen

This is tragic loss for all of humanity. I knew Tibor primarily as a physician/surgeon but also as a friend. He was absolutely brilliant, kind and compassionate. He had a knowledge and pride of judaism. He would tolerate my curiosity and educate me. In many ways he changed my life through his view of the world, of family, of friends and of medicine. He is responsible for introducing me to a man who became a great mentor to me. He was a skilled surgeon and beyond that was the fact that he had great surgical judgement. As a physician, he always put his patients first. He was a devoted physician, a loving husband and an ever so proud parent. Condolensces to his friends, family and to all those whose lives he touched.

Tibor [Tibby] Juda was a kind, compassionate & caring physician and a MENSCH in the true sense of the word.I would find him studying the Bible in his office during a quiet interlude.He taught me much about Judaism and what it means to be Jewish!!He was loved by his patients for his care & concerns and for his ability to manage their problems.An excellent skilled surgeon!!May his memory be a blessing!!!

I just learned about Tibor's passing after the funeral today. I was Head of Urology at UHN when Doctor's Hospital merged and Tibor joined our staff. He referred many patients and came to the OR to operate with me at TGH over the years. I had known him for years starting with when I came to Toronto and worked at the Wellesley. Now I go periodically to Kensington Eye Institute on College and have built a triplex on Kensington Ave near his synagogue (at least that I where I think he went). I think of him when I go to these places. He taught me about the Torah and all things Jewish which I didn't know even after growing up in Montreal. I leave for the European Urology Association Congress on Wednesday and will look for times of Shiva. Hope can pay my respects. I will always remember Tibor fondly and with respect as a hard working urologist who was committed to his patients with a highly moral, spiritual, and ethical way of living and practicing. I'm sorry I didn't try to get together after he stopped coming to rounds and the hospital. Michael

Dear Laya, My heart goes out to you in your sadness and distress. Indeed, you have been a tremendous wife and friend to Tibor all these years. As your children and the Rabbi's said at the Levaya, Tibor was a very special man, and you had the zechus to have spent many years right by his side, helping him in all his Mitsvos by just being there for him; a true Eyshes Chayil and help-meet. May Hashem bring you comfort in your time of great loss. Love, Judith

To my beloved friend, dearest Leah and to Chana and Jeffrey, to Yossi and Mali, to Ari and Tamar and your incredible grandchildren. You lost Tibby, tho love of your life,who in your words, you were smitten with when you first met. We don't all get that and the two of you were blessed to be gifted with one another and all of your combined grace, mitzvahs, intelligence and inordinate kindness to everyone who crossed your paths. Tibby and you created a dynesty of mitzvahs, chesid, Tibby saving lives with superb expertise and humility based on Torah and his own menschlichkite. I shall miss his gentle presence and his delightful enjoyment of frozen challah...not to forget his wit as a host at your beautiful Yom Tov table, with all the manifold delicious food and he would be content with the simplest fare, leaving your guests and children to enjoy the more gourmet offerings that you, Leah made for everyone. I thank Hashem for granting me your loving friendship and the time that I was gifted to witness a pious man. A brilliant physician, Torah scholar, who knew his place in Hashem's world, with no arrogance or self aggrandisement and openly illustrated his love of his family and of his God. Oh, the memories that your family will share and sustain for many years to come. Hamakom Yenachem Etchem Betoch Shaar Avalei Tzion ve Yerushalyim and know no more sorrow. All my love, Janice

I am very sorry to learn of your very sad loss. May your family know no more sorrow. Mary Gersht

Rest in Peace.

I had the privilege of knowing Dr Juda back in the days of Doctor's Hospital. A kind and caring physician and surgeon. May his memory be a blessing.

From all of us at KSA, we were very sorry to hear of Mr. Juda's passing. Our condolences to the Juda family. May your memories bring you comfort in the days and years ahead.

I have no real words to express my sorrow when I saw the notice of Tibi’s passing this past Shabbos. My children did not want to tell me the sad news, and I am so sorry that I did not attend at the Shul this morning. Every year, for the past thirty years I went to Bathurst Lawn Purim morning as it is also my mother’s yahrzeit. I treasure the memories of my youth and our connections with the Juda family.

Dear Leah, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved husband. I met him a couple of times many years ago when I took my father a"h for medical appointments, and he made such an impression as a fine caring man and doctor. May Hashem bring comfort to you and your family.

ברוך דין האמת What a loss! Tibi, AH, was one of a kind. A true תלמיד חכם and בעל חסד. A competent physician and surgeon. He respected his illustrious father-in-law and appreciated talking in Torah with him and Rabbis Ochs and Price ztz”l. He had the zchus of learning in Ponevich in its early days in B’nei Brak. He was also well versed in many secular subjects. Tibi could hold his own talking with anyone about anything. I have good memories of sitting at Tibi and Laya’s Shabbos table and being entertained by Tibi’s acerbic wit and his broad ranging knowledge, not to mention the דברי תורה. They broke the mould after Tibi. We appreciate having had a relationship with a special man. Laya, Chana, Ari and Yossi and the spouses and children should all have a nechama. המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבילי ציון וירושלים. Avrom and Joyce Morel

I have very fond memories of Tibor. He was a very caring doctor and a wonderful man. I still see a lot of his patients in my office and they constantly tell me what a fantastic urologist he was and a kind and caring man. May he rest in peace and my heartfelt condolences. A great loss to the community.

I am sadden to hear of Tibors death. We first met years ago and go back to Sunnybrook Hospital as residents. My condolences. Geoff Kalchman

I worked with Dr. Juda at St Joseph's Hospital in Toronto in the mid 1960s; I was a staff nurse. We would often engage in chats about Christianity as well as Judaism, h being a Jew and I a Christian. I was thinking about him today for some reason, and wondered if he was still living, learning, however, that he died in March of 2023. I pray that his soul rests in Yahweh's everlasting glory, and that peace will all his spirit forever.. He was an interesting man, and an excellent medical doctor.
