or one of his grandsons and learn.
We felt the most fitting way to
honor him was to name it for him."
Referring to Rabbi Freedman as
"one of the 36 righteous people in
our time," Rabbi Cohen explains the
merit of the siyum for a man like
Rabbi Freedman. "The most basic
premise of Judaism is that the soul
continues from this world to next
world where it gets reward for good
deeds done in this life. When a per-
son influences others in their life-
time, that influence continues to
accrue reward to their soul, for ever
and ever and ever."
In that sense, he says Rabbi
Freedman's soul will reap rewards
from the tremendous amount of
learning that has gone on this past
year because of him.
"So the concept of a Siyum
HaTorah — bringing together as
many people as possible, who each
learned their own part of the Torah
— is something Rabbi Freedman
would approve of greatly," Rabbi
Grossbard said.
"There are some people who are
visionaries in the sense that they have
big dreams or large empires," he said.
"Rabbi Freedman was a visionary in
the sense that he saw each person he
touched as a major accomplishment.
In all his years in Detroit, he didn't
build a building or a business.
Instead, he built a community —
one person at a time." ❑
