Shelley Solomon - about 1 month ago

Dear Carole, We wish to express our heartfelt condolences to you and your lovely family. Burt was on my mind lately when Rabbi Orenstein and the TEVA team were discussing a new project which I believe he would have enjoyed hearing about. I first met him at the Shaar when we established an environmental lectureship in my mother's memory. The lectureship successfully ran for 18 years which would not have been possible without his guidance and support. Our shared passion and association re environmental activism continued throughout the years including his role as a valued advisor on our board at TEVA. We will fondly remember his gentle manner, wisdom and devotion to Tikkun Olam. This world is sorely in need of more individuals like him.
