David was my manager for two years and knowing him made me a better person. There were a number of things I loved about him, his sense of humor, his ability to befriend people who were different from him and not judge them, his open-mindedness, and his kindness. And then there were those hilarious stories about some of his previous jobs. I loved working with him.
One of my favorite memories was when I would ask him a question at work, he would stare at me for more than a few seconds, hand on his mouse, mouth open, sort of processing, and then respond. We used to laugh that the "delayed response time" was probably a result of all the fun he had in the 60's.
I have missed David since I've moved back to the U.S. and will only miss him more now. My condolences to his family.

Dear Judith, Efriam and all the family,
I have one strong and beautiful memory of Sabbat dinner with you. The power of
commitment and tradition that David personified will always be with me. My gratitude for knowing him and my loving thoughts to you.

David and I were friends in the Sixties in the Lower East Side of New York and again in the Seventies when he was living with Judith and the kids in San Francisco. David was an important part of my experience in a group of twenty-somethings in the Lower East Side. His humamity, compassion, sensitivity, clarity--all shone through in this young man, and he was a dear friend indeed.
Sadly, I had lost touch and recently rediscovered him in the Jerusalekm Report. I e-mailed him, ordered all his books and read them. I had no response to the e-mail. He was already ill.
I am shocked and saddened that this beautiful soul has gone, and I send condolences to Judith and the family. 2005-08-03 18:06:11 °81 |
I met David and Judith last year when I was in Arad at the WUJS program. A small group of us went to Beit Yatir to visit and study with both of them and then David came down to Arad to give us some writing workshops. He was a warm and nurturing teacher, but also honest and demanding. A really good teacher and writer. I saw him just last December when he was in New York to visit his ailing mother. We had lunch in the East Village and I was able to give him a book in which I'd just published a few stories. And he was so appreciative of it. I was shocked to hear of his illness and death. My heart goes out to Judith and his family. 2005-08-06 14:27:28 °88 |
Toby and I want to express our shock and sadness at David's untimely passing. I remember him fondly from visits to LA and from an article he wrote about I project in which he was involved. He was a unique combination of intelligence, sensitivity, commitment and courage. Yehi Zikhro Barukh. 2005-08-06 16:12:12 °89 |
dearest yehudit, hodaya, noa, efraim and family,
it was such a shock to hear about davids untimely death. we were notofied about his condition a day before he past away, it was all so quick.
i remember when you arrived at beit yatir, two beautiful dreamers, rich with talent and jewish aroma. david fell in love with the southern hebron mountains, with its particular history and with the special people whom have made these hills their home. i remember his immense joy when he planted his first tree on his piece of land, after a life time of wandering, he had come home.
what is left are his treasures - his writings that reflect his sensitive spirit and intelligence, his love for knowledge, for torah and for mankind.
may his soul rest in peace.

To David's family,
He was a kind, giving, open-hearted man. The words of this wonderful writer will live on. And so will our memories of him -- for as you will discover from his many friends and fans, David touched many of our lives in wonderful ways.
Shalom,
Donna Rosenthal

Dear Judith and Family:
My heart goes out to you with sympathy and grieving. I knew David best when he and I were between the ages of 18 and 26. His warmth, brilliance and talent were evident then, and I hope it is of some solace that his dreams from that time were realized and sustained in adulthood: to be a more spiritual person, a great writer, a good man, and to live every day with meaning.
Best wishes,

Oh David,
I find myself writing to you as comfort, still finding it hard to believe that you are no longer here in body. Each time you come to mind, so does a smile, for you had such a wonderful smile yourself and a sense of humor that was unmatchable. If you hadn't chosen a career as a writer, you could have been a fabulous stand up comic. You played to perfection a role as my Indian guru and your "Bar Mitvah tales from hell" kept my son and countless others entertained at his bar mitzvah.
You were a dreamer in the best sense. You and I shared a number of good ones in a dream group of mine that you attended, further evidence of a mind that was always seeking and exploring new fields. Yet you were a dreamer on a much vaster scale. You had a grand vision in your writing and in your life, that your humble modest nature tended to down play. But you didn't fool us. You imagined living out in the country and you went for it, at an age where many others are afraid to go after their dreams. You stayed young in heart and in spirit, yet displayed the quiet wisdom of a holy elder. As evidence in this remembrance book, you touched countless souls. I can't even imagine how many more there are out there that have read your writing and were changed by your words.
Dear friend, dear guru, you are sorely missed. 2005-08-12 00:34:12 °93 |
