Israel Matzav

Dad z"l

Two years ago today, my father, Reuven Yerachmiel ben Avraham Yaakov, passed away.

Dad z"l (of blessed memory) was as straight and honest as they come. He was a strong supporter of Israel and of its right to maintain the entire land of Israel. He left behind two children, nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren (of whom he only met three - there is another one since bli ayin hara).

He was the first one in synagogue every morning and afternoon. He was a strong supporter of Jewish education.

May his memory be a blessing.

The picture was taken outside a Holiday Inn in Washington DC in August 1962. I'm the one with the bowtie on Dad's right (the left of the picture).

Here's another picture from the same trip.
