From Hersch & Penny Kanner Family

The community is bereft of 2 giant leaders, who were also my close personal friends for more than 5 decades. Both Jack z'l and Paul z'l worked tirelessly for Klal Yisrael and especially for Eretz Yisrael and they both leave a monumental legacy.

Paul was the first person that Mireille and I met when we moved from Hamilton to Toronto. He assisted me with the Shul membership. This was in 1984. I appreciated his help. It was a pleasure working with Paul on any project because he was a doer. No matter how busy Paul was, he contributed to the project and made sure that it was done properly.

Susan and Annie, my heart goes out to you...may your husbands' beautiful memories bring you some peace of mind. Their dedication to Am Yisrael was exemplary.

May this wonderful program of writing a sefer torah in Jack's memory serve as an aliyah for his neshama, especially as this Torah will be read in the place nearest and dearest to Jack's lifelong mission of service to Medinat Yisrael. Yehi Zichro Baruch!

Paul's neshama should have an aliyah from this awesome effort to have his name and good deeds memorialized by the use of a sefer torah in Israel. Yehi zichro baruch!
