Susie, I am very saddened to hear this news. I recall with pleasure the times you and Rabbi Drazen visited Congregation Ahavath Israel in Kingston, NY. Rabbi Drazen was always a magnificent teacher and a great resource when I had questions about the synagogue. My condolences to you and your family. May his memory be for a blessing.
