Gershon Wolf Poet Ode

'Nashie' Inspired Us All

       Wracked with pain, unable to eat
          denied the pleasures of life
       My friend ‘Nashie’ used his head
          his heart, his teeth, his tongue

       Cheering up his visitors, one-by-one
          inspiring them to live purposeful lives
        To honor his memory 
                           ~ when his life was done



        
        My friend, Avraham Menashe Siegal, 
        passed away March 13, 2025, on the
        Fast of Esther. May his memory be
        for a blessing.
