How To Spend It

As a Beth El congregant, I have had numerous occasions to get to know Rabbi Loeb. He officiated at my wedding, was at our home for the bris and baby namings of our twins, as well as two b’nai mitzvah of my boys and the bat mitzvah of my daughter.

I do not profess to have an intimate knowledge of the Rabbi. The one thing that I do know is that he was a passionate advocate of the less fortunate. In my opinion Rabbi Loeb would prefer to have had the money that was spent on the memorial ads in the JEWISH TIMES sent to Mazon, which fights hunger. To those organizations who did both I applaud you. To those organizations who placed an ad and did not contribute to Mazon, I humbly encourage you to make a statement on behalf of Rabbi Loeb’s life with a donation to this organization that he felt so deeply about.
