Words of tribute

Abstract

This psalm (Psalm 15) was Rabbi Jung's favorite part of Tehillim. He always asked me to prepare it for him to recite at every funeral. I somehow never believed that the time would come when I would have to stand and recite it for him. I never imagined that this day would come-when so many of us would gather, in such large numbers, to bid final farewell to our beloved teacher, role-model and friend; husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. How will we be able to function without his encouragement and advice, without his towering presence which graced this sanctuary and world Jewry for close t o seven decades? Who will now comfort us in our times of sorrow? (from Introduction) 1
