Bereavement Time Off

Unfortunately I have to inform you of the untimely passing of my brother in Chicago. We are bringing him here to Israel for the burial, which will take place  on Tuesday. After that I'll be sitting shiva. 

 I'll be mostly offline until after the shiva. 

I can be contacted by email (comments to this blog get sent to my email, so if you don't already have my email address, feel free to comment on this post, or any other, or using the contact page at http://lifeinisrael.blogspot.com/p/advertise-on-life-in-israel.html and I'll get it) and Whatsapp (for those who have it)

Besorot Tovot. Good health, physical and mental, to all, and wishing you all a long life.

Here is something my siblings all wrote together:

With deep and abiding sorrow from depths we didn't know we had, the Goldmeier family wishes to inform you of the death of Max Goldmeier.
Max was a brother, a son, an uncle, and a friend. He served with distinction in the Israeli army, received a Masters in Chemistry alongside numerous other academic and professional achievements.
He was clever and funny, passionate and honest and kind. Max was generous with whatever he had, especially giving of his time, his heart, his skills and his energy. He loved nature, and reading, and music and was fiercely loyal. Max would do anything to help and protect and nurture his family and friends.
Despite all this and more, Max lost his decades long battle and succumbed to his mental health demons.
Max was deeply loved by many and will be missed dearly.
