Max Wall z"l

Today was a very sad day for the Burlington community. Rabbi Max Wall was laid to rest. As my mother would say, nobody younger should go, but even at age 93 one cannot help but feel sad for the loss. It was a wonderful funeral with personal eulogies given by Rabbi Chasan, Father Berube, Mark Stoler and 2 of Rabbi Wall's grandchildren. Although I did not know Rabbi Wall very well, having only been here 10 years and he was already retired, I knew him from my attendance at holiday services at OZ. He always had a kind word, a joke to tell and a warm smile on his face which lit up his whole face. When I would read Haftarah he would always come up to me afterwards to tell me how much he enjoyed it. He led a full, rich life and we're all the richer for having known him.
