Baruch Dayan Emet (Praised be the Judge of Truth)
It is with great sadness that I inform the congregation of the passing of Jeffrey Shapes, Jeff is survived by his adoring children Joanna Zaner and Lee Shapes, their mother Madelyne Kirch, his girlfriend Ronnie Boriskin, his son-in-law Mark Zaner, his sister- and brother-in-law Lisa and Mark Levine, his niece and nephew Rebecca and Justin Levine and his many cousins, who were like siblings to him.

A private graveside funeral will be held on Tuesday.  Although officially, shiva does not occur on the festival, people are invited to visit Zoom gatherings on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7-8 PM, at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83584623853?pwd=d09QZEZNOWlZRkRqekRkYmJLd0k4QT09 - Passcode: 700422

The family requests that donations be made to St. Judes Children's Research Hospital.

The obituary can be found here.

May the mourners be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Rabbi Joshua Hammerman
