Baruch Dayan HaEmet:

We are so sad to let you know of the untimely and unexpected passing this weekend of our beloved building caretaker and tutor/teacher in our ALIYAH program, Itai Dewar, z”l, at the age of 64. In addition to so many in our Neveh Shalom community, both children and adults alike, Itai is loved and remembered by his sister, Loren (Mark) Troen; brother, Daniel Dewar; niece, Lindsay (Bruce Conners) Horst; and great-nephew, Ernie.

The funeral for Itai is scheduled for Wednesday, December 1st at 3:30pm at Ahavai Shalom Cemetery (9323 SW 1st Avenue, Portland 97219). The service will be outside – if attending, please dress appropriately.

Prior to the funeral service, at 3:00pm, Rabbi Eve and Mel will be in the Ahavai Shalom Cemetery Chapel for ALIYAH families to explain the funeral ceremony and to help our children cope with this loss.
