Back at the Cemetery

Very unplanned.
A funeral.
He wasn't known as "sick."
Sudden heart attack on Shabbat. Was conscious when put in ambulance.
All the best equipment. Medics told the doctor that she needn't come.
Then, on the way to the hospital, fatal attack, dead.
A midnight funeral, after Shabbat.
Thousands from Shiloh, Shvut Rachel and all the area.
We all walked with the shrouded body.
From the Mishkan Tabernacle Synagogue, to the Aidot Mizrach North African Synagogue he helped established and lovingly maintained to the entrance of Shiloh he passed so often and then to his final resting place in the cemetery which overlooks the road.
