Established in loving memory of Avi Lapidus, 12/15/1990--2/23/2006. Avi, the younger brother of Menachem and Chana, was a freshman at the Hebrew High School of New England. (New readers may want to start at the beginning of 2006.)

Terumah
The Shabbat afternoon, Monday, Thursday layning this week was the last Torah portion that Avi prepared for. He was scheduled to read it at school. He never got to.
This Shabbat will be Avi's sixth yahrzeit, which we'll observe at Beth David Synagogue. Everyone in attendance will know about it, but I wonder how many will actually mention Avi's name and share memories, versus how many will feel too awkward? Silence is painful.
This blurb is not about me and appears on two blogs. What follows pertains to my son's memorial blog.
Avi died 2/23/2006 at age 15. ("Zichron" is the Hebrew word for "memorial to" or "remembrance of.")
New readers should start from the beginning, dated February 23, 2006.
