<div dir="ltr">Looking at the link referenced by R' Michael in his post earlier today, I was saddened to learn that Rabbi Seth Mandel, former very active member of this group, left our chabura for a better world some months ago.</div>
<div dir="ltr">While no doubt many of the US-based (and former US-based) members knew of his passing, as no mention was made on Mesorah, I and probably others too were unaware of it. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Until I read R' Micha's appreciation of him at <a href="https://aspaqlaria.aishdas.org/2023/05/24/rsm/" data-auth="NotApplicable" id="OWAb4e794c8-a3a9-98bf-3768-e96c5cdcd7f2" class="OWAAutoLink">https://aspaqlaria.aishdas.org/2023/05/24/rsm/</a>
just now, I knew him only from his posts here. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Although his knowledge was in a different league to that of most of us, he was always eager to teach us, and would respond patiently and in detail to almost any question, without a trace of self-esteem and often with humor (especially in his
exchanges with RDB - how is he BTW?).</div>
<div dir="ltr">The Mesorah group will be poorer without him.</div>
