Dear Dubrawsky family,

Rabbi Dubrawsky was my Rebbe and my Rabbi.  The Rabbi was a great listener and an advisor.  When you faced the Rabbi, you saw a great man!  The Rabbi had a great love for the Yiddish language.  Yiddish was the language we always spoke together.  I felt great in his presence.  Rabbi, I miss your memories.  Your memory is a blessing.  What can I say?  "Eyn tsedeck tuchat ha-shemesh" (Hebrew).

Not only the wider Jewish community lost a great man, but so did Vancouver.  The Rabbi was only 56 years old.  A fund should be created to look after his family.

Faithfully yours,

Leon Broitman
