This week’s idea on Mishna 3.5 is written by Via Kimche. Via was formerly Rebbetzin of Ner Yisrael and is a teacher of kodesh, Childbirth educator, kalla teacher, life coach and EFT practitioner. Having made Aliya 5 years ago, she and her husband are currently on a 2 year shlichut in Melbourne Mizrachi. She knew the Dees as a couple on the English rabbinic circuit and was always struck by their enthusiasm, their sincerity, their idealism, their intelligence, their sensitivity to others and their positivity. As Via says, “They radiated love of Torah, love of Israel and love of their fellow men - inspiring others to emulate them - like Aharon hacohen: אוהב שלום ורודף שלום , אוהב את הבריות ומקרבן לתורה The world lost a huge amount of light and goodness when Lucy, Maia and Rina were so cruelly murdered. Only Hashem knows the reason, but the way Leo and the family have dealt with their unspeakable loss has been inspiring all of us.” יהי זכרם ברוך ושה׳ יביא את הגאולה לעמו הנצח 🇮🇱 עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱

This week’s idea on Mishna 3.4 is written by Brendi Waks. Brendi said, “Rabbi Leo and Lucy Dee were our Rabbi and Rebbetzin shortly after we arrived in Radlett. They made us feel very welcome and made themselves available to all members of our family, including through their toddlers’ group, women’s group, Bat mitzvah program, innovative and inclusive Tikun Leil Shavuot program, Friday night services, seudah rota and regular invitations for Shabbat lunches, all of which we partook of. Only after they left Radlett did I realize that, every week, they would each ask the Community Care Coordinator to provide them with a list of names of elderly or vulnerable members, all of whom they connected with. They were incredibly engaged and very inspiring leaders, with innovative ideas, lots of energy and a vision and genuine passion for changing the world and they were lovely to spend time with. It was this kind of individual connection they had with everyone that I believe left an indelible mark on our community, so it came as no surprise to me that this and other projects developed from seeds that Lucy planted.” 🇮🇱 עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱
