To the memory of my father
R. Aharon Tzvi Gurfein z.l.
And my righteous mother Shifra z.l.

My father was learned in the Torah and a charitable man. He participated actively and with dedication in public affairs. The words of our sages were constantly on his lips, and he was always fond of their midrashic analysis [exegesis]. He studied our Torah, a Torah of life and lovingkindness; it encompasses all, so “do not step away from it”.[11]

My dear mother, may her soul dwell in Paradise, supported refugees during the days of misfortune, providing them with needed food as well as she could.

And we mourn the slaughter of our brothers and sisters that took place when the bloodthirsty German foe, may their names be blotted out, entered Kamenetz-Litovsk.

Over these I weep! My eyes, my eyes shed tears, for there is no one who can console me.[12]

From their son, Baruch, and his family
