Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your patriarch. Bernie was one of the lay leaders of Shaare Zion Congregation and a welcoming presence to all who entered the sanctuary. Bernie standing beside the Aron Kodesh during the Neilah service was a long-standing tradition and a well-deserved honour. We felt fortunate to have known him.
