Dear Friends,
We hope this finds you and your family safe and healthy.
The reality of the pandemic hit Temple B’nai Abraham hard and early with the loss of our friend, fellow congregant, and Temple President Dr. Bruce H. Greene to COVID-19 last April. Bruce’s yahrzeit falls during the week of April 5, and, as is customary, his name was read at services during the preceding Shabbat. We would now like to offer the community an opportunity to remember and pay tribute to Bruce with a virtual tribute journal on the occasion of his yahrzeit.
The virtual tribute will be hosted on the same platform as the journal we created in Rabbi Dantowitz's honor last Spring. It will allow us to see the journal growing in real time, as we all submit our thoughts and tributes to Bruce. The site will also host photos, as well as tribute letters from the clergy, past and present, and other key TBA staff and lay leaders who worked closely with Bruce.
Temple B’nai Abraham was a cherished institution to Bruce, as it continues to be for Susan, Mark, and so many of us. Let’s come together, at least virtually, to remember Bruce on the occasion of his yahrzeit and support the institution he loved.
To submit your tribute to Bruce and for available opportunities to support TBA, please click the Place Tribute/Donate tab and follow the instructions. If you require assistance with placing your ad, please contact Laura Wold ([email protected] or 973-994-2290 ext. 216).
Thank you in advance for your messages of tribute and generous support. They will be appreciated and cherished by both Bruce’s family and your fellow congregants.
Julie A. Silbermann, President
