Blessed is the Righteous Judge
July 13, 2006
On behalf of the entire congregation we send our heartfelt condolences to Howard and Marian Cohen on the loss of Howard's twin brother, Melvin Cohen. Melvin was a resident of Pembroke Pines, Florida and had long suffered with illness. Nearly 18 years ago Howard had donated a kidney to his beloved brother.
The funeral is scheduled for Sunday in Pembroke Pines.
May Melvin's passing, today on the Fast of Tammuz, be an example of courage despite illness and difficulty.
Min Ha'shamayim T'nuchamu—May your solace come from the heavens.
Rabbi David Kaiman
Congregation B'nai Israel, Gainesville, FL
Note: Rabbi Kaiman is rabbi of the congregation of Melvin's twin brother, Howard and his wife, Marian
