Avi Memorial Dedications 2018-2019

On the occasion of Avi's 12th yahrzeit, February 2018, we dedicated this Havdalah set brought back from Israel by Rabbi Adler. Avi was a regular at Shabbat Mincha and he had led Maariv at the end of Shabbat on the week that he died. This Havdalah set, engraved with Avi's name, perpetuates Avi's presence as we conclude Shabbat.

Harry and Robyn Weller were particularly close to Avi. Harry recalled how Avi would come up to him on Shabbat mornings to share a new insight into the week's sedra.

On Shabbat morning, February 2, 2019, the Wellers dedicated a new security lock for Beth David's Shabbat children's room upstairs.

Here is the text on the plaque pictured above.

The Children’s Lock is Dedicated

In loving Memory of

Avi Lapidus ז"ל

A wonderful young man, a precious neshama,

and a lover of Torah, mitzvot and gamilot chasadim,

on the occasion of his 13th Yarzeit.

May his memory continue to be a blessing for all.
