SUFFERING

בס"ד


ERIC RAY'S DEATH IS A CRIME AGAINST ART!

I shared the grief of many of my Torah-scribe colleagues Friday. Even somebody who didn't know me thought to send an e-mail about R' Dr Ray's death just to make sure I knew. So thoughtful. The Sofrut Community is strong & kind even to outsiders like me, barukh HaShem.

I haven't yet heard back from anyone about how the funeral was, but I was there in spirit. We're all so devastated to have lost him, like a beloved grandfather...

May his soul find rest.

"And will he not come again?
And will he not come again?
 No, no, he is dead;
 Go to thy death-bed,
He never will come again.
His beard was as white as snow
All flaxen was his poll,
 He is gone, he is gone,
 And we cast away moan:
God ha’ mercy on his soul!"

Opheliah, Shakespeare's Hamlet
