As a teen, I corresponded with R Benzion, then known as Bernard Bernstein. We were of the same age and he was the grandson of my maternal grandmother’s sister. Recently I was blessed to reconnect with the part of the family who settled in England while my grandparents came to the US. It brings me great joy to learn more about the person who was once a part of my early life, even though remotely, and reflect on his life, his commitment to our heritage and how wonderful it is that his children are carrying on in his footsteps.

His memory is a blessing.

In reply to Boruch Dayan Emes.

Our family stayed at their home by one of our weddings.
Literally gave away their home and kept quiet in the corner (as if they were the guests…)!

I grew up in what was a small North West London Jewish Community – Edgware (London UK) – now a thriving hub kah with it`s own Sheliach and Chabad House – we lived in the same road as R Benzion lived before his marriage – I believe he was the first Lubavitcher in Edgware

R’ Benzion (together with his wife) was the real deal. He excelled in the miztva of hachnosas orchim and ahavas yisroel. Always with a smile on his face. So careful with Halacha and minhag but it a beautiful soft way. He was a real soldier. Doing what needed to be done without kvetching or analyzing.
