Today marks the third secular yahrzeit of Rabbi Everett Gendler. I am reminded of him often. There’s a belief in Judaism that people die twice, once when they physically die and a second time when your name is forgotten. Over the last year, we have engaged in several remembrance projects that ensure that his name will be remembered. Thank you to our friends and family – in the Catskills, in Andover, and all over the world – who keep speaking his name and telling of his work. If we all aspired to move through the world the way he did, it would certainly be a better place.
