"YOU ENCOURAGED ME" Rabbi David Cohen

In the last few days of Ronnies life many people called and visited him. One of the more memorable calls, at least for me was the call he got from Rabbi David Cohen Mora Datra of Beth Shaul Umiriam. The Rabbi began to remind Ronnie of a time way back when they both lived in West Deal. The Rabbi said he was just starting to speak and develop his own leadership skills and Ronnie would constantly approach him and he would say " Rabbi, go up and speak and teach us,  we love your words of Torah and Mussar". The Rabbi made mention of how much of a chizuk he got from Ronnies prodding him to speak more, and he never forgot it! He told him "you gave me so much encouragement in those early years".
