"This was his choice; it was his dream, to serve and be in Eretz Israel;' Rabbi Schnitzer added. "He said, 'I'm going in with my eyes wide open:" Still, the shock for family and friends was almost too great to bear. Rabbi Schnitzer said that when news of Levin's death spread through the synagogue, an executive com- mittee meeting was ended on the spot. "We've known this family for years:' Rabbi Schnitzer said. "They were one of the early members of the congregation. People were in tears. I never really experienced my heart breaking before. Now I know what that feels like' At Camp Ramah in the Poconos, where Levin spent eight years as a camper and one as a counselor, about 100 staff members gathered to swap stories and memories. "These guys all grew up together in camp for years and years and years;' Rabbi Zeff said. "It's a loss for the whole community" Levin was buried Aug. 3 at the military cemetery on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. A memorial service was held Aug. 7 at Shir Ami Synagogue in Newtown, Pa. Camp Ramah in the Poconos rented a bus and brought 50 counselors and staff members. http://www.irakaufrnan.com/ THE IRA KAUFMAN CHAPEL Bringing Together Family, Faith & Community 18325 West Nine Mile Road, Southfield, MI 48075 248-569-0020 • Facsimile 248-569-2502 www.iralc.aufinan.com We Get Questions Q : My parents were told by a Florida funeral director that embalming is mandatory for transferring a body back to Michigan?
