Avi's Passover Haggadah
This year, at our sedarim, we continued our custom of placing a second empty wine cup on our table. The first was for Eliyahu. The second was Avi's cup.
This time, we had something more. I had found Avi's school Haggadah from his days at Solomon Schechter Day School. It contained the complete text and ruled pages for Avi's plentiful notes, probably from when he was in third or fourth grade.
There were the Four Questions. I heard Avi's voice chanting them as the youngest, just as he had done too many years ago.

I just wanted to stop in and let you know I've never forgotten Avi. I used to be a moderator at a website called Omega Gateway. Avi and I had been talking on AIM, and when he stopped replying, I thought he had fallen asleep. Then when I checked on the site the next morning, there was a post from you, jlapidus, detailing everything.
He was a charming and exceedingly kind young man.
Sincerely,
Daniel
Thank you. Susie and I deeply appreciate your comment, Daniel.
I remember Omega Gateway, Digital Pandemic and some of Avi's other forums.
Hi Jay,
I was thinking of Avi today for some reason and just wanted to post here to say hello to you and send my regards. I fondly remember Avi's ever present smile and sense of humor. I also remember some times when he was silly and mischievous in a really sweet and good natured way. He was a very smart and kind boy and I hold his memory in my heart.
Sincerely, Elysha Green
Avi's 3rd grade teacher at SSDS
