Memories of Rabbi Harold Smith

When I met him 
his hair was grey
And his wisdom shone forth 
like a beacon 
He knew that Shabbes 
is an important 
part of Judaism
He palyed guitar 
and led us in prayer 
He loved his family, his synagogue, his church
Gone from the Earth 
Rabbi Harold Smith

Beautiful sentiments that I am certain he appreciates from the other side.

Matthew, sorry you lost you Rabbi, of blessed memory He sounds so much like the Rabby I studied with in SF. Rabbi Ted was very liberal. Loved Grateful Dead Concerts and Goid friends with Dr. Ruth Condolences, Panagiota
