He dedicated himself to its services, classes, chairing the ritual committee, and community events. Whether leading daily prayers, participating in adult education classes, or adorning the synagogue with his artwork, Frank’s presence was one of boundless generosity and spirit. To the children of the synagogue, Frank was the “candy man,” a gentle figure who never failed to bring a smile with his treats. To the adults, he was a gifted storyteller, weaving tales that resonated with humor, wisdom, and the richness of life. He gave not just with his hands, but with his heart, ensuring that every person he met felt seen, heard, and valued.
