I was friends with Biruk in eighth grade and I’m only a junior now. This is absolutely heartbreaking. I would always sit with him at lunch along with another group and we’d always talk. I remember he told me something about his family life and some of the struggles regarding his family status but also how he was doing great despite them. RIP Biruk you’ll always be in our hearts. 🕊️
What a character! I worked for Phil (aka Phivel ben Falk Halevy) & Ken at Beham-Niimi Design Group on Michigan Ave., Chicago, in late 60's. I remember him well & fondly. We shared many laughs in the course of our work together. I'm sure he's making deals in heaven. May he be blessed on his journey...

Я узнала Аллу, когда ей было 23. Мы веселились, встречались, ходили в рестораны и никто тогда не думал, что жизнь может закончиться. У меня до сих пор не укладывается в голове, что Аллы нет? Они с Сашей были самыми молодыми и Алла ушла раньше всех.
😢💔🙏My thoughts and prayers. I feel so blessed to have known him.
Thank you for being my friend Maia. We miss you, and we love you. Thank you for posting this service. I often find myself asking WWMD. She would live her true courageous self - and never be basic. Until we meet again ❤🕊️
My beautiful Adele. You are missed 😘

Aaron Castle here; I want to thank you guys at Chicago Jewish Funerals for providing this video. I was sadly unable to make it to the funeral, but I at least will have this as a memory. For that, I am eternally grateful.
My grandmother Catherine was Dr. Pomegrantz’s housekeeper and Nanny for years. I was four years old at the time. She worked from 1977 to 1991. I use to play with her daughters Susie and Laurie. Prayers to the family
RIP.💗🦦
I met Diane Schwartz on September 24, 1979. Through her efforts and 18 months of dedication, a 19-year-old kids' life was saved. Ms. Schwartz was a wonderful person, and I am grateful for having known her.

RIP
Wishing the family my sincere condolences. Her life was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I will always remember doctor Rabbi Goldhammer as being one of the greatest teachers we were ever blessed with. A major thank you to him for all of his great material, and work that he gave us. Rabbi had a major impact on me intellectually, and I’m so grateful to him forever.
‘’Colonialism is not a machine capable of thinking or a body endowed with reason. It is naked violence, and only gives in when confronted with greater violence’’. Frantz Fanon- The Wretched Of Earth. ‘’Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood let alone believed by the masses’’, Plato. One is fighting for defending their land & another one fighting to steal the land. "The Nazis made me afraid to be a Jew and the Zionists made me ashamed to be a Jew." Israel Shahak, a Holocaust survivor. Thanks to social media and spread of information, with a couple of clicks and with courage and human decency, the truth shines for every seeker to recognize. Plan Dalet is a good way to start your search. It details the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns from their inhabitants. Search Dier Yassin, Tantura, Ramla, Lydda, Safsaf, Sa’sa, Kfar Qassim and hundreds of other massacres committed by Zionist Hagana, Irgun and Stern gangs in 1947-1948 under the eyes of the British authorities. “Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel” by Max Blumenthal. “Denying people the right of return to their homeland, and at the same time offering this right to others who have no connection to the land, is a model of undemocratic practice.” -Israeli historian Pappe “Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth.”-Israeli historian Miko Peled. "I am a freedom fighter- says teenager Ahed Tamini, the Rosa Parks of Palestine in her memoir “They called me a lioness, A Palestinian Girl’s Fight for Freedom.” This book is an eye-opener and a worthwhile read. Plan Dalet, the blueprint of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages and towns started in December 1947 and was FINALIZED by the High Command of the Zionist leadership on March 10, 1947. Not a SINGLE Arab army soldier had entered the Palestine/Israel before the Zionists declared the birth of their state on May 15, 1948. By then, more than 300000 defenseless civilians had already been massacred, expelled, raped, and mutilated and more than 300 villages and towns emptied, destroyed, torched, and imploded with dynamite under the watchful eyes of and with the support of the British soldiers and police, who left the country on the fateful day. The Zionists even ran out of dynamite because of the extent of their barbarity. By the end of that year, 20000 civilians had been killed and 750000-900000 defenseless civilians, 85% of the population who had lived in the land that became Israel, had been rendered refugees. 530 villages were destroyed and depopulated. Zionists criminals even murdered the Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte, the UN peace envoy in Sept 1948 because he was a witness to their crimes. He objected to the Zionist plan of ethnically cleansing Palestine of its native inhabitants. He, by the way, as the head of the Swedish Red Cross, had helped in the release of about 20000-30000 inmates from the Nazi concentration camps in Germany during WW2. Videos and resources you might find educational: Warning, they may be difficult to get because of censorship. Hundreds of books were written on the subject too. It is VERY easy to get informed. 1. 1948 Creation & Catastrophe (2017) 2. Gaza by Garry Keane & Andrew McConnell (2019) 3. Tantura (2022) 4. Gaza Fights for Freedom, a film by Abby Martin (2019) 5.

Tantura, Safsaf, Sa’sa, Kfar Qassim and other massacres. Other resources: Voices of the Silenced Majority (2006) 15. With God on Our Side (2010) 16. How the Palestinians Were Displaced in 1948 | The Village Under the Forest (2013) Remember 1948 Deir Yassin massacre = Palestinian Auschwitz committed by the survivors of the holocaust. Boycott apartheid genocidal Israel. Don’t be the last to condemn the colonial apartheid state like you were in South Africa. The Zionist apartheid colonial outpost is controlling ALL aspects of our lives. It is though NOT prepared for what the new generation is witnessing live on social media directly from occupied Palestine. Thanks to the social media and spread of information, Palestine is finally freeing us from this plague. No state has a right to exist, but every person does. Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Rhodesia and countless others are states destined to fall and they did. This one is no different. Criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitic, the same way criticizing Saudi Arabia is not anti-Islam, criticizing Myanmar is not anti-Buddhism and criticizing India is not anti-Hinduism. Demolishing the apartheid state would be OK and in fact be the only way to save everybody including the Israelis. The two-state solution is no longer possible. Zionists stole ALL the land. The only solution left is ONE demilitarized secular state under international control with ALL people with documents showing ownership rights related to the land between the river and sea. We need to abolish all racial and religious favoritism. Refugees should be allowed to return if they so wish. We need to dismantle the apartheid colonial state. Peace will NEVER be realized without justice for all. The answer is very clear and everybody should support it. One country from the river to the sea with the two peoples living together in a democratic system is the only solution. Such unitary binational state is advocated by several former Zionists and current historians including Miko Peled, Ilan Pappe, Gabor Mate, Norman Finkelstein, Barnaby Raine and others and supported by the majority of the Arab population of Palestine. The imperial colonial Zionist outpost is not working and it would NEVER work.
