Moshe’s consecration was held yesterday out at Melbourne Chevra Kadisha cemetery at Lyndhurst.
About 150 people were there for a final goodbye.
Helene spoke really beautifully.
Her mother came up to me at one point and asked how I was related. I reminded her we’d met nearly ten years earlier but that I was just an old friend of Moshe’s.
She said, “Well that’s very related!”
Two plots away from Moshe are his parents Goota and Hanie. They died within 11 weeks of each other last year after more than 70 years of marriage.
As I walked back to my car I noticed Richard Pratt’s grave about a good drop punt from where Moshe was buried. Moshe didn’t believe in an afterlife but if it turns out he’s wrong about that I reckon Dick’s in for an ear bashing…
Thanks for sharing. Loved reading this post. Mosche is in a good place.
