Yachad has bestowed upon him.
Our dear Abie/Abba/Abi/always recognized the importance of Inclusion. He valued
every single human being and had the insight to realize that everyone can grow and learn
from each other, especially in an informal camp setting. We are so proud of his visionary work
and the legacy he created within the Jewish camping community. He was a role model
for other camp directors and they followed his lead by creating similar Yachad programs
in their camps as well. May עם ישראל continue to grow as a nation ביחד.

Our 'special' niece and cousin
From the day she was born, Caryn was 'special' to her mother, a'h and father, just as all children are 'special' to their parents. She was also 'special' to her siblings, her extended family, her friends (of whom there were many), her fellow employees, and her teachers. She had: a special smile
a special laugh
a special kavana when she davened
a special way with children
a special kindness
a special understanding of emes
a special love of people
