Marcel loved teaching UCLA medical staff about pulmonary tumors in X-rays (for 23 years)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
while wearing a chemo pac and no one knew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Hospital collapsed in 1994 Northridge Earthquake after Marcel served 17 years as ICU director VAMC </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but he continued to teach and give clinics for veterans.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Marcel retired from VA I called CSUN and asked for them to hire my husband</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because he was good. The dep't head called me and hired Marcel! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marcel loved teaching and giving written tests </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but had very little energy due to cancer treatments. </div>

<b>Marcel's, z'l, 6th <i>yahrzeit</i></b></div>
<br />
Today is the first day of Tevet, <i>Rosh Chodesh</i>. In 16 days, it is Marcel's, z'l, 6th <i>yahrzeit</i>.<br />
<br />
This week for Chanukah, I sent <i>tzedakah</i> in Marcel's memory. I will do so again on his yahrzeit, and as I do also on <i>yiskors</i>. Chabad has already sent to me in snail mail, the little kosher candle in the can.<br />
<br />
Hadassah's annual Yahrzeit reminder from Hebrew University Medical Center at Ein Kerem is on my fridge. "<i>May you be comforted in the memory of your loved one and be blessed for the deed of remembrance</i>." The shul where Torah <i>parshahs</i> are written in Marcel's memory, has also sent their yahrzeit reminder, now on my fridge. Reminders from other shuls are expected. A dear cousin of mine reminds me he says <i>Kaddish</i>. I remind my family.<br />
<br />
This week with Aviva and Brett visiting for Chanukah, we went to the cemetery and left our stones and love. May the <i>neshama </i>of Menachem EliMelech ben Shulim v'Tova be blessed. I will call Marcel's 90 year old mother on his yahrzeit, in addition to my weekly Shabbat call.<br />

At the time of Marcel's funeral and <i>shiva</i>, Krauthammer family purchased two <i>Parshas</i> being written</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in a new Torah at Shomrei Torah Synagogue (STS) in West Hills, California.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because friends, the Klaristenfelds, were filled with great <i>Chesed</i> during Marcel's many medically challenging years,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we made the donation at their synagogue, STS, <b>IN MEMORY OF MARCEL</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This parsha is also IHO Barbara and Rabbi Ken/Chanan Klaristenfeld, for their dedicated friendship.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marcel read BaHa'alotecha every year, as well as every parshah, as he was Ba'al Koreh at two shuls.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marcel's <i>chevruta</i>, Reb Moshe Cohen, z'l, and I, Joy, both shared Parshah BaHa'alotecha as our birth parshahs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marcel taught me to chant Parshat BaHa'alotecha while he was literally on a gurney heading for yet another cancer surgery. I had a Chumash with me.</div>

<b>Marcel's Matzeivah Unveiling</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took me a long time to decide that it is OK to include Marcel's Matzeivah Unveiling photos on this site.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have no funeral photos from the 'standing room only' crowd,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but along with Aviva and my sister Faye and I, my mostly local loyal invited North Valley close community was present for unveiling. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marcel's closest loyal friends, Brian & wife Karen, Shelly, Dr. Michael L. and Dr. Paul Rosenthal and wife, were present. YION minyan was present, those who said Kaddish with me, Rabbi, Avrum, and Lou Harris. Officiating Rabbi Sheldon Kirsch is not in photo, nor nephew Danny. Cousin Cantor Michael Russ is with wife Merle. Our dear friends present: Barbara, AriellaShira, Sandi and son Mat. - Joy</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">My husband, Dr. Marcel Krauthammer, zt'l, Menachem Elimelech ben Shulim v'Thea, died a month ago, January 17, 2006 after being in a similar situation to Dr. Melamed-Cohen. Marcel was on life-support with respirator, tracheostomy, feeding tube for the prior six months (NG tube only), paralyzed a few years, but with worsening metastatic brain cancer for almost 18 years. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Marcel was brave, courageous, defiant, powered by will, hope and faith (<i>Emuna v'Bitachon</i>) in Hashem. Family photos were always facing Marcel. Yes, there was a "rectification, </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a tikkun</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">", in his and our lives. And Marcel also had his "reasons not to give up." Marcel, too, prayed throughout the day with his </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>siddu</i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>r</i> until he could no longer hold the book, and then the prayers were in his heart, and he acknowledged to me with a slight nod. I would also pray out loud with Marcel, although he could not talk the last six months. </span></span><br />

Marcel was awesome, the "Comeback King." </span><br />

In his ICU bed, he made me laugh when he was able to circle and point his index finger to his head and at me as if I was loco, when I was the ventriloquist for his stuffed bear, Oatmeal, always a mascot by his side from ICU to ICU to ICU, and now in <i>Shamayin</i>/Heaven. </span><br />

<span style="color: #990099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Dr. Marcel Krauthammer, a pulmonologist and a renowned professor of medicine at UCLA, passed away in January, 2006. His wife, Joy, planted lovely purple bearded irises at the Barlow main hospital in his memory. The bulbs became a wonderful improvement to the hospital grounds, and have since multiplied, and return year after year in spectacular bloom. The Garden of Joy, as it’s been affectionately named by the staff, blooms beautifully, even in the cold of winter. It brings smiles to the staff and warms the heart and brings hope to our patients and their families.</span></span></div>

<b>Marcel's First Yahrzeit, </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>with love from Aviva, January 2007</b></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">My Dear friends and family,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">This coming Sunday, 1/7/07, which corresponds to the Hebrew date of 17<sup>th</sup> of Tevet, will mark the first Yahrzeit of my beloved dad, Marcel Krauthammer zt"l. I think about him every single day, but on this anniversary, you can join me in remembering a multifaceted man who achieved great things in his life, and positively affected the lives of so many people.<br /><br />We have compiled a few photos and videos from my dad's life that we wanted to share with you. At the bottom of this page is a web link, which will bring you to a website with a photo album as well as two short videos (a wedding speech and comedy routine) of my dad.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><u><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The photo slideshow highlights many of dad's loves and talents:</span></u></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Friends</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">: Entertaining, Honest, Loyal</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Teacher:</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> A respected and loved medical professor who challenged and embraced his students (*below are stories from a couple of his students I wanted to share).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Jewish Learner</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">: Studied Torah and Talmud weekly, chanted Torah for 2 synagogues. (And not only was it technically impeccable, but he embellished each word with subtle undulations that transformed the phrases into elegant and enjoyable music.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Scrabble</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> <b>player </b>(the scrabble dictionary was in tatters from his memorizing allthe 3-letter words + all the words you can make with "Q" w/out using "U").</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">

<b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Poker player</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">: Texas Hold 'em and High low where his games….</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Through his life, my Dad tried to do his best at anything he tried. This was not an ego thing, it was a personal motivation and will that was unmatched. This drive was manifested in all areas of life…professional and personal. He never pushed anyone like he pushed himself. He would feed his brain, his curiosity and his knowledge with a voracious appetite. My dad pursued so many interests in his life that it's hard to really capture them all. Above all, my dad was a modest guy; self-deprecating and always willing to learn from his failures and from others.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">I hold these lessons close to my heart.<br /><br />Love, Aviva</span></div>

For Marcel's<b> 13th yahrzeit</b> that fell during the winter holiday season on 12.25.18, Aviva was away with family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aviva made sure while away with friends to have a <i>minyan</i> to say<i> Kaddish. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We both posted photos and memories of Marcel on FaceBook to share with our friends, and say Kaddish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've posted Marcel's ancestors' Horowitz family tree, hand calligraphed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course, I have a candle lit and I went to Marcel's grave and left a stone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sadly, winds must have blown over dozens of stones that I regathered and placed again on <i>matzeivah</i>. </div>

Added the following to FaceBook for Marcel's yahrzeit:</div>

<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="4kbbc" data-offset-key="871d-0-0" style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span data-offset-key="871d-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">For Marcel's z"l, 13th yahrzeit, I share his hand-calligraphed Horowitz rabbinic family tree for 17 generations that ended with his maternal grandfather. Marcel, too was a 'yeshivah bocher', as were his father and brother, Charles, z"l. His mother loves learning. </span></div>

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="dmdq0-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span data-offset-key="dmdq0-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">For 18 years, Marcel served as Ba'al Koreh (Torah chanter) at two synagogues, every Shabbat; One, a Chabad and another, a traditional minyan. Marcel continued his Talmud studies all his life. Not long before he died, Marcel had a siyyum at a Young Israel following his 14 years of Gemorah study with the rabbi. Marcel used his studies in Jewish medical ethics to teach others in medicine. When Marcel was paralyzed, I asked Marcel about his prayers with the little bible that always was with him, and he said he didn't need it, because the siddur was memorized. I gave the little siddur to our daughter. I had Marcel buried in his tallit with cut-off tzitzit, and his baseball cap, and favorite teddy bear that went everywhere with him– to all hospitals during his 18 years of disease. 'Oatmeal' had disappeared when hospital sheets were changed and sent out, and I had the hospital chase down Oatmeal through the streets of LA until the bear was found...</span></div>

<span data-offset-key="4tdgo-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">For countless years in his 23 years as UCLA Professor of Medicine, Marcel was voted by all medical students, housestaff, as #1 Professor. His goal was that he wanted to be as good as his best professors who had taught him. Recently I met a newly ordained rabbi MD who said that Marcel had earlier been his best medical professor. </span></div>

<br />
Today I posted photos on FaceBook of Marcel with his friends and rabbi. Aviva, too, had posted a loving photo.<br />
<br />
At Chabad of Northridge to say <i>Kaddish</i>, a friend Michael, who recently lost his wife, gave me a photo that I had given to him a couple dozen years ago. There was Marcel with his beloved Rabbi Menachem Bryski, founding rabbi of Northridge Chabad, and also with congregant, Michael G. I had taken the photo at Young Israel of Northridge, so there must have been a <i>simcha</i> that day for Chabad members to be at YION. Some of us are involved at both orthodox shuls, and others.<br />
<br />
After saying kaddish (always on weekdays the only woman on my side), I donated <i>tzadakah</i> for the rabbi to plant pretty flowers at shul in lieu of the calla tubers which are not in bloom in the winter. Mine were blooming only a few weeks ago. The shuls' callas are orange and mine are yellow with red. Rabbi said I could have some tubers.<br />
<br />
Friends were in shul at 7am, and greeted me from the other side of the <i>mechitzah</i>. Larry Block always says good words about Marcel. Today he didn't tell the 'Marcel story' about "judgement" that he shares every year. Maybe next year... Each yarhzeit and yiskor I go the the memorial board at shul, and I give a kiss to Marcel's plague that I had created for him. I don't think we had discussed it ahead of time, as we did the grave monument.<br />
<br />
After shul, at home, I called my mother-in-law. We each acknowledged the day by saying we were in shul. Aviva had gone with Thea last evening. A couple weeks ago, Aviva and family, and friend, Brian, went to the grave, and we left stones. The candle is now almost flickered out. I talked to Marcel, and to G*d.<br />
<br />
With memories, Joy<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Spoke to mother-in-law, and children, sharing love. Went to one of shuls, Chabad, where Marcel served as <i>Ba'al Koreh,</i> Torah chanter. Touched his shul lit memorial plaque, (accessible also from women's section). Appreciative of memories shared in shul by friend Larry Block; annual ritual that warms my heart. Shared <u>Dirvrei Shulim</u>, the book of Torah's from Marcel's saved 10 years of letters by his father from when he studied with Rav Yosef Soloveichik. Gave <i>tzedakah</i>. More <i>mitzvot</i> in Marcel's name. Made photo memorial collage for Aviva and sent it (and include here). Thanked cousin Bruce Mossman for saying Kaddish at his Chabad, as my family did last night on East coast. Studied Torah. Viewed left over golf ball still sitting under rose bush in my garden since at least a decade ago from before Marcel was paralyzed. <i>(Every morning I stand next to that little white golf ball at edge of my property, as it lies where I shoot the sunrise.)</i></span></div>

It's Shavua Tov time, motzei Shabbos, and I've lit the <i>yahrzeit</i> candle for Marcel's, z"l, 7th yahrzeit. Not quite middle of January, this 17th Tevet, but Dec 29 and cold and damp.</div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
Maybe the magnificent double rainbows this week with seven colors each is in honor of the 7th yahrzeit.</div>

Was really unconscious today about what I was doing as I stopped and gazed at length at the large hanging painted photo portrait of Marcel. I never do that, gaze. Then tonight, eating a sandwich, I unconsciously touched my upper lip while holding the sandwich and realized that that is what Marcel would do. Don't think I've done that before. Of course, the sandwich came from Subway an hour ago and for years that was Marcel's favorite eatery. </div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
Yesterday I scanned photos of Marcel with a baby kitty he rescued in NY. I'll put it in his web site. I'd tried doing it earlier in week but new scanner wouldn't work until his yahrzeit.</div>

<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
There is one of Marcel's white wiffle golf balls under a rose bush. It's there all these years, uncovered from top leaves. Wiffle balls weigh nothing. Why didn't ball get blown away? Others rear their little round heads throughout the garden. Every morning as I photograph the sunrise, I stand by the little white golf ball and acknowledge it. Maybe Marcel dropped it from on high, just for my pleasure.</div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
At Chabad where Marcel served as <i>Baal Koreh</i> / Torah chanter for 18 years, I'll <i>davven</i> in the morning, which I do also for all Marcel's <i>yiskors</i>.</div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
Marcel's Chabad friend, Larry, always shares the most meaningful and funny story about Marcel and Torah. Larry always makes sure that I have a <i>minyan</i> to say Kaddish along with me, as I am across the <i>mechitzah</i>. I share a huge book of Torah teachings from Marcel's father, z"l, that Marcel collected over the decades. On the memorial board, the little light is lit by Marcel's name. Rabbi Rivkin always shares special words about Marcel. He learned in hospitals that Marcel always asked about others, even when he himself was in critical condition.</div>

I'll go to Mt. Sinai cemetery following shul and kiddush, even if rainy.</div>

Interested in going with me?</div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
Good loyal friends, especially Brian or Shelly, go with me each year, and we lay stones.</div>

Aviva is possibly watching Marcel's favorite program tonight and drinking Cel-Ray, Marcel's favorite drink.</div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
Aviva brought little Maya Sage Nechama Sivan to his grave site during Chanukah.</div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">

<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
I still keep alive the two plants given to Marcel in 1988 by his pals. </div>
<div style="-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-family: Arial; word-wrap: break-word;">
At Chanukah we sang Marcel's favorite holiday songs. On another note, Aviva says that Marcel liked "M-i-c-k-e-y M-o-u-s-e" so she sang it tonight.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small;">written in several languages, following classes with Rav Yosef Soloveichik.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">Looking for a small travel alarm clock, I decided to check my husband's, z'l, top dresser drawer where he kept all his miscellaneous items, i.e. coins, paper bills, pens, pen knife, business cards, beeper, keys, locks, name tag, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">buttons, giant paper clip, tape, screwdrivers, gum, golf things, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">strange toys, small metal balls, etc. (The Rebbe's dollar bill had been in the drawer in years past.) Those things remain there as I have not bothered with deleting them. It was too hard seeing them six years ago. Clothes I gave away from all the neat stacks in the tall men's dresser that I had purchased in 1977; the finest well crafted lovely wood modern dresser. I really appreciated it's smooth styling.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br />
<div>
Today I thought to myself, yes! -- I am proud of myself that I can rummage through his large top drawer six years later, through dozens of pens, makers, baby flashlights and personal small items, looking for what I want, and not get upset. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then it hit me--boom; I saw the little plastic red DREIDLE. Yup, it got my guard down, and there was the love, humanity and history in it all. Chanukah was important to us from the beginning, and this thumb sized symbol reminded me in a flash of the decades we had lighting chanukiyot and with our daughter, playing dreidle with pennies on the holiday. That little Jewish spinning toy has a lot of power.<br />
And I thought I was finally through to the light at the end of 'the tunnel'.<br />

Dear community, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial;">
Thank you for your condolences on the passing over January 17, 2006 of Marcel, z"l, Menachem Elimelech ben Shulim, my beloved husband of 31 years and loving father to our daughter, Aviva, and her husband, Brett Freedman. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial;">
Following a challenging metastatic brain cancer of 18 years, may Marcel rest in peace. Marcel was a valiant fighter whose faith in Hashem, along with his willpower, strength, courage, fortitude, perseverance, patience and hope kept Marcel alive to reach our daughter's wedding, his greatest dream. <o:p></o:p></div>

Before my beloved husband Marcel, z"l, died Jan. 17, 2006, in response to one of my last "Updates" on "Never giving up" and "Leadership", the following are letters that I received both from the man responsible for our sunny California life, Dr. Wasserman, and another from a man, Leo DeLong who as a new friend at Esalen, mentored Marcel in enjoying this Pacific Coast life on the "greens."</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
The 'first' is from Marcel's very first "Boss" in California and in Pulmonary, at UCLA/Harbor General Hospital, following Marcel's NY residency at Long Island Jewish Hospital. It is because of Dr. Karlman Wasserman that we don't shovel snow (since 1974) to get to work, and that we have wonderfully loving, supportive friends/colleagues (in addition to family) on the West Coast.</div>

"Dear Joy, I agree that Marcel never shirked from doing the extraordinary things asked of him. One of those was his phenomenal chest x-ray collection (which was just given a new home at UCLA Radiology Dep't.) and the great skill that he developed in building the collection.<br />
<br />
Marcel has remained optimistic, courageous and acted charitable, as I witnessed at a Palm Springs (Pulmonary doctor's) meeting 10-12 years ago, despite his having undergone brain surgery and his knowledge that his brain tumor limited him and would limit him further in the future, bringing him to his current state. Yes, he also demonstrated leadership at the (annual) Palm Springs meetings. But after he became ill, he showed us the stuff that he was made of. He did not behave as though he felt sorry for himself but appeared to live every minute. I remember Marcel's incredible smile and courage as we conversed at our last meeting, and that is how I want to remember him.<br />
<br />
With love and blessings to you, Aviva and, especially Marcel."<br />

From Leo DeLong, whom I had the pleasure of meeting with Marcel in Palm Springs. I had discovered a golf workshop at Esalen and Marcel actually listened to me, registered and went to Big Sur where he loved meeting Leo.<br />
<br />
"Joy:<br />
<br />
Thank you for sending me this Update e-mail. Marcel is a fighter if not on the physical plane, on the spiritual. Though he can no longer speak, he speaks to each one of us through his courage and will to survive all these many years. You are so right about Marcel trying to be the best he could be at whatever he focused his attention on. He mastered the art of golf to the extent his physical capabilities allowed him to. Mentally was another story when it came to the game of golf. He knew all the subtle nuances of the game and the swing. When we talked about the mechanics of the game we were one spirit. We understood each other's thoughts on the subject after the first sentence. We were communicating non verbally from then on. Our spirits were in tune with one another.<br />
<br />
He was a master joke teller as well. His timing was impeccable. I would put him on the stage against any of the top comedians. He was a multi talented individual. I'm glad that he came into my life. I am much richer for it.</div>

<br />
To the Krauthammer Family,<br />
<br />
How beautiful were the words spoken by rabbis, friends and family in the hills of Mt. Sinai in honor of a wonderful person. Marcel was a teacher to us all. For those of us who study medicine, Marcel was the ultimate teacher. Not just the expertise that he brought to his specialty, pulmonary medicine, not just his skill in reading chest x-rays (how excellent that there is a wonderful home for his collection at UCLA's Radiology Dep't.), but more importantly what he taught us about caring and consideration.<br />
<br />
And Marcel taught us the joy of finding your area of skill and honing it. He loved those things he could perfect, be it golf or teaching. I think back fondly upon the times we spent together, the house-staff softball game where I brought my son and Marcel brought Aviva and he pitched in his Sandy Koufax jersey. I am thankful I was able to quickly stop by on Monday morning to say good-bye. We will miss him dearly. All our best wishes from his colleagues at Sepulveda VA.</div>

You and your incredible spirit have been in our minds every day during<br />
the <strong>past tragic years of incredible sorrow</strong> that you have borne with such<br />
strength and devotion, sharing the <strong>grim burden that has tortured Marcel<br />in such an unrelenting manner</strong>. His suffering was your misery, but just<br />
as <strong>he bore the unrelenting advances of a miserable disease with great<br />courage</strong> you were an exemplar of wonderfful resilience and marvellous<br />
humour throughout the <strong>unimaginably painful journey that took Marcel to<br />the inevitable conclusion</strong>. We know that these same qualities will ensure<br />
that you will show your indomitable shining vibrancy and continue to<br />
give your friends and Aviva with her marvellous new family a wonderful<br />
future together. We mourn the present and cry over the past but we look<br />
forward to a bright new future and enduring friendship.<br />

<strong>Marcel was my professor of medicine at UCLA when I was an intern</strong>. When I reflect upon those sleep-starved hazy days of my internship there, I can think of <strong>no one else who taught me more or influenced me more as a doctor than Marcel Krauthammer. He was a larger than life character who was adored by all of us. He had a great sense of humor, humanity, and common sense, in addition to knowing everything there was to know about every specialty of medicine</strong>.<br />
<br /></div>

</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
He was also a <strong>compassionate, kind person who was above chastising/humiliating us trainees (as so many academicians do), but rather, held himself out as a friend, as a colleague.</strong> In short, he defined the word, "<strong>mensch</strong>." Over the years, I had wanted to call him and tell him how important he was in my development as a doctor and as an adult. But I never did. I'll never get that chance now, but this story should underscore the importance of being present,and doing those things we have always wanted to do, but couldn't because of those distractors that are more urgent but less important than giving love back to those who have loved us.<br />

I just wanted to let you know how proud I am
of you, especially during this past month. Where most would crumble with the
enormous challenges you’ve faced, you showed grace and thought of others, even
continuing to teach at Marcel’s funeral. Don’t ever forgot how precious you
are.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
Now it’s time for Joy and time for Joy to
take care of herself, park yourself in your recliner and sit. I’ll help you
with all next week. I should be able to sit by then.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
Take your drops, noni, order any meds that
you need so I can make your med boxes, close your eyes and picture how your
garden will look for our birthdays this June.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
I made an announcement here that I need to go
to services with you one Sat. morning a month. And we need to start Onioning
again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
Crying is good for you, besides mourning the
loss of your loved one you need to mourn the loss of your life the way it was.
You’re a butterfly, now set free to help others.<o:p></o:p></div>

Dear Joy.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
I've just re-read your message to
me when Max (my step-father) died. Being so beautiful, I never erased it.
my condolences from Pasadena. I know
this is a hard time, and I would like another opportunity to sit with you.
I know the seven days are crucial. And I know
that the following days and weeks can be harder, as we adjust.
MAY YOU ALWAYS CARRY THE
SWEET MEMORIES OF YOUR LIFE TOGETHER. MAY YOU BE FED BY
THE BEAUTY OF YOUR CARE FOR MARCEL. MAY HIS SOUL BE FOREVER NURTURED BY
YOUR LOVE AND LIGHT. MAY YOU ALWAYS KNOW YOUR OWN BEAUTY. I
thank you for sharing your life with us.
Let me know if there is
anything I can do. Even if it is a visit for a chat, or to
clean out a closet...........I am good at helping with this, even if I say so
myself........ I am
sending you thoughts of courage and strength for the following times.<o:p></o:p></div>

And i wonder, how did marcel get to hospital
each of the two dozen times that he was there, most of them 911s to the ER when
he was "delirious" or non-responsive and his life was spared, fooling
the "angel of death"? as the eulogies’ stated at the
funeral. Who was Marcel's caregiver and tireless advocate these last 18
years?<o:p></o:p></div>

Gee, I wonder who that could have been, and
who insisted time and countless time again, that his care be administered
correctly? It just happened, I suppose.

You have chosen a very rocky path lighted by
flaming volcanoes underneath. How about going down a woodland trail now, in the
spring with abundant, fragrant flowers on all sides, and filtered sunlight from
on high, birds a twitter, soft breezes and delicates scents to delight the
nose. It's time.<o:p></o:p></div>

I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking
of you and hope you are doing okay in this sad time in your life. I have
never attended a funeral like Marcel's and reading this piece by Charles brings
back how touched I was by all who spoke. I didn't know Marcel in Life but
after the funeral, I really felt like I knew his essence and was sorry that I
didn't know Marcel in Life. I know I would have loved him!<o:p></o:p></div>

You and Aviva have been in my thoughts often

I would pass along a cheerful message: the Iris are putting out many new,
healthy green shoots and there are already two stalks of blooms on the old
stalks. They will be wonderful when they open up. I think of all of you
every morning when I pass by them on my way in the front door. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<i> i am thinking of you and the beautiful funeral
that you had for<b> </b>your dear husband, marcel. it was a
privilege for eli and myself to be with you and aviva at the hospital the night
before and can only hope we provided some comfort for you. we came
over to the rabbi's after but it was so crowded we didn't get to speak to
either of you. i especially wanted to hug aviva as i can feel the
deep pain she is feeling at losing her father. this isn't meant to deny your
deep pain but i felt she and i had a connection the night before. i am
leaving for a retreat tomorrow for a week and will be home on thursday night.
i was serious with aviva when i told her to call me or come by if she
ever wants to talk. please pass that message to her. of
course, the same goes for you as well. i feel so honored to have
you as my mentor of how to take care of a husband. you certainly
did a wonderful job all these years. and to know that you and
marcel had a wonderful healing --- what more could you want except, of course,
for him to have regained his health and have lived. but you
are the model of a truly devoted and caring wife!!! you can really
feel that you did everything possible and have no guilt at all.
please contact me if you just feel like being with someone who will listen and
hold your feelings with great delicacy.</i><o:p></o:p></div>

Sande, Ross, Dean and I extend our deepest

by email by Paul Selecky. I, unfortunately, am travelling and will not be back

she will make every effort to attend the service tomorrow.
Once again our
condolences on this very sad day.

While
Marcel is in my thoughts and my prayers, I will unfortunately be unable to
visit during Shiva. I am travelling for the next couple of weeks (in fact I
had to leave the funeral service a bit early.) <o:p></o:p></div>

We wanted to share something that we found particularly meaningful. When
Ariel Sharon lost his son in a tragic accident, the Rebbe sent a letter of
condolence. In that letter, the Rebbe explained the traditional words of
comfort, <i>"Hamakom Yinachem Eschem Bsoch Shaar Avelei Tzion
Vyerushalayim.</i>” The Rebbe wrote that the mention of Mourners of
Zion upon comforting someone for a personal loss tells us to draw a parallel
between the two. The loss of even one person is a communal sorrow just as
the destruction of Zion . In addition, just as Jerusalem and Zion were only lost
in the physical sense yet its soul remains alive within the heart of every Jew
so too does the soul of the departed continue to live. And last, just as the
loss of Jerusalem and Zion is temporary, so too will G-d restore us those we
have lost with the coming of Moshiach.<o:p></o:p></div>

We have had the zchus of praying for Marcel
Krauthammer, Menachem Elimelech ben Tova Matil, for the past several years.
From time to time I have received gracious and thoughtful e-mails from
his wife Joy. Joy’s name describes the special way she has always
accepted G-d’s decrees and appreciated the love and support of those around
her. Although I never had the privilege to meet either of these special people,
I have come to feel very close to them and especially to the long and hard
battle Menachem Elimelech waged for so long.<o:p></o:p></div>

May his Neshomo be bound up together with the
souls of the living and may HaShem comfort Joy and the Krauthammer Family among
all those who mourn in Tzion and Yerushalayim. May He wipe the tears from
their faces and the faces of all those who grieve in the Jewish Nation.<o:p></o:p></div>

I have such mixed emotions about what I want
to say to you, but both Richard and I extend our condolences to you and the
family. I may not have known Marcel, but I know his spirit and zest for life.
Someone like that never leaves us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
May you be consoled by the many years of
happy memories and all that he accomplished. You are such a special person and
your strength and the love of those who love both of you will see you through
this difficult time. With friends like the Klaristenfelds and the Kirsches no
one can stay down for long. I’m sorry we were not in Los Angeles to be with you
this week.<o:p></o:p></div>

friend, Myrna Gale, remembered to tell me today, Thursday, and I also received
an e-mail this evening from Carol Maller from Temple Ramat Zion. Had I
received this information earlier, I most surely would have attended the
funeral, and would have attended minyon this evening.<o:p></o:p></div>

I'm
so glad we were able to come yesterday. This is one of the blessings of
being 'semi-retired'. Karl was anxious to be there with you.
The time from training to now has whisked by too fast for all of
us. Aviva was just a little gal when I saw her last and she
became a beautiful woman. I spoke briefly in French
with Thea, but I don't think she remembered me from 1975 when she and Marcel's
Dad took us to a play by Jean Barbeau in Montreal. She seemed
a bit 'shell-shocked' from it all, and for understandable reasons, of course.
Charlie gave a beautiful speech about Marcel's childhood, which of
course I never heard before. I didn't have a chance to tell him that his
critique of Spielberg's movie 'Munich' is right on the money, as far as I'm
concerned. The Krauthammer brilliance shines thru best in person.
Unfortunately, when Marcel and I talked about his childhood,
it was at a time when his focus was more on the unpleasant aspects of growing
up as a Jewish immigrant in Montreal, rather than the positive side of growing up.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">

didn't know before you are friends with Judy Sommerstein, a wonderful gal.
I was partnered with her husband, Adam, for 30 years & now we
still see each other a bit at Harbor UCLA.<o:p></o:p></div>

You and your incredible spirit have
been in our minds every day during the past tragic years of incredible sorrow
that you have borne with such strength and devotion, sharing the grim burden
that has tortured Marcel in such an unrelenting manner. His suffering was your
misery, but just as he bore the unrelenting advances of a miserable disease
with great courage you were an exemplar of wonderful resilience and marvelous
humour throughout the unimaginably painful journey that took Marcel to the
inevitable conclusion.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i>from <b>Dr. Mike Golub</b>
18-Jan-06 09:37 PM </i>
To the Krauthammer Family: How beautiful
were the words spoken by rabbis, friends and family in the hills of Mt. Sinai
in honor of a wonderful person. Marcel was a teacher to us all. For those of us
who study medicine, Marcel was the ultimate teacher. Not just the expertise
that he brought to his specialty, pulmonary medicine, not just his skill in
reading chest x-rays (how wonderful that Geoff Applebaum found a wonderful home
for his collection), but more importantly what he taught us about caring and
consideration. And he taught us the joy of finding your area of skill and
honing it. He loved those things he could perfect, be it golf or teaching. I
think back fondly upon the times we spent together, the housestaff softball
game where I brought my son and Marcel brought Aviva and he pitched in his
Sandy Koufax jersy. I am thankful I was able to quickly stop by on Monday
morning to say good-bye. We will miss him dearly. All our best wishes from his
colleagues at Sepulveda VA.<o:p></o:p></div>

Joy: I have a friend who will give Marcel's
name to the Tibetan Monks and they will pray for him on his journey. Once this
morning period is over and if you remember, I would like to dance Marcel's
picture to the tree this year at our Oak Dance. Many people in the community
have heard me pray for him. If you have a photo of Marcel and are willing to
send it to me so that I can Dance him to the tree, I will make sure that I
return it to you after the dance. If you are interested in the Dance I will
send you some literature on it when it comes out in another month or so. The
Dance this year will be held on June 2nd, 3rd and fourth of June in Occidental

come this tragic loss, coming through the other side healthier and happier.
This is a very difficult time and my prayers are with you. Marcel will always
be with us who knew him because we carry his memory in our hearts. He is

I was so sad to learn of Marcel's
passing. He waged a very lengthy, valiant battle to stay here and be with
his loved ones and the life he loved. You especially, and Aviva gave so
much of yourselves to guide Marcel through his struggle. And Brett was an
added blessing. You must know in your heart that you gave more of yourself than
most. May the admiration you felt for Marcel, and loving
devotion you showed him as your husband and father of your daughter sustain you
through this grieving period. May he find peace and rest.<o:p></o:p></div>

I committed to. I just returned home from my trip to Portland for my

was never to busy to help a patient, to impatient to answer a question, or too
distracted to provide assistance where requested. His knowledge was
encyclopedic; his compassion limitless. He will be always remembered. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
It was about 4:30 PM when my friend Gayle and
me went to the hospital to visit DR. Krauthammer, our Joy's husband. He was not
in the room where we were told that he was supposed be. Wrong info. We
asked the reception were our friend would be. She said "go to there # 208
on your left hand side." So we went to look for him, 2nd wrong info,
no name no #. We asked again the 3rd time. We were led to him. He was in peace.
Sleeping. Breathing deep. I went to the left side of his bed, and
touched, rubbed softly his left hand. Num., no motion, colorless. Few minutes
later we started to sing, Shmah, peace to you, hevenu shalom aleichem, mei
Jidishe Mome. He opened his eyes. Such beautiful eyes. They were shining,
sparkling, smiling. I saw his mouth move a little, but not strong enough to say
anything or smile. But HIS EYES. HIS EYES. HIS EYES. They were like a baby's
eyes. What a happy feeling. After a moment I took his right hand did the same
what I did with his left hand. There was a respond. They were week, but fine.
They were better than his left hand. But his eyes were big and bright. I
could see the smiles in his eyes. I could hear the whispers from his eyes. I
don't think that he had a dread black, schwarz, kushi man sang Hebrew, Judith
and English songs holding his hand beside his bed. He had eyes that any
woman would make fall in love. He made my day. He made my weeks. As we sung
these songs there was nothing, but joy filed the room. A big and tall
pretty black woman, a nurse, who was listening to the songs asked me,"What
kind of songs are these?" I answered her, that they were Hebrew, songs,
Jewish songs. She asked are you Jewish? I answered that we are all Jewish. She
asked you have an accent where are you from? I said that I'm Ethiopian. She
said "the original Jew, the original, I love the songs." She did some
work on Joy's husband and left, with a big pretty smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
I thought that Dr. Krauthammer has sexy eyes,
like Kevin Kostner, Yul Briner.Or Richard Gere, but only when they all smile.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">

POW! That really hurt. I happened
to be at the computer when your e-mail came through and just the subject
line made me realize I lost a really good friend. I had a late start

consequently I had just said his tehillim (for the last time) about 20 minutes

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
When I left, it just struck me how well
suited you and Marcel were - this enthusiastic embrace of Hashem's presence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
You will please forgive me for making the
following suggestion. The single thing that Marcel needs now (and has
needed for some time) is peace. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
Peace is an attribute of G-d, since it is one
of His Names. It is resident within Him; we draw on it when we connect to
that part (as it were) of Him. In Torah thought, you can only connect
with one of the midos of Hashem when you first actualize it to some extent
within yourself. I'm no rebbe-type, but to me it seems so suggestive that
what you folks should be doing is adding a layer of shalom that doesn't
exist. Through it, you could hope for a greater beracha of peace for
Marcel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
I mean, of course, the relationship with
Marcel's mother. The task should be a two-party affair, but I don't know
whether that is feasible at her age. I sort of suspect that decades of
frictions could be overcome by one strong embrace and statement that whatever
happened in the past, we are all going to be there for each other with love
during this coming week. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">
Maybe I'm naive. I hope not.<o:p></o:p></div>

this week in 2013, of what would have been my 39th wedding anniversary,</i></span><i style="font-size: 13pt;"> and shortly before Marcel's, z'l, 8th yahrzeit, I received the following thoughtful letter</i><span style="font-size: 13pt;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 13pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Subject:
Dr. Krauthammer<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 13pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Earlier
this year I "googled" some of the Drs I used to work for at the
Sepulveda VA in Calif. One of them was Dr Krauthammer, but when I looked
him up I was saddened to see he had died. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 13pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I
was a clerk typist at the VA when Dr K started there (I moved away in 1980) and
just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed working for him. We (the other
secretary and I) met Joy and their daughter - wonderful family. He was
always very polite and would answer any of our dumb questions (we thought they
were dumb) but never made us feel dumb or silly - that's why we felt so
comfortable asking him about anything - he took the time to explain things to
us - clerk typists! There was a mutual respect between him and the
residents and fellows he taught and worked with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; margin-bottom: 13pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Just
wanted to tell you how much I thought of him and that he was a kind, respectful
and humble person to have known. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal;">There is no prescribed format for an unveiling (sometimes called “dedication”) ceremony which may, according to Jewish law, be performed by the family. <em><strong>Hakamat Matzeivah</strong></em>, Raising up the Stone.

There is a bigger picture. It is the 4th of Iyar, <strong>19 day of Omer counting.</strong> <strong><em>Hod sh'b'Tiferet</em></strong>. I want to share meaning about that now (or after unveiling priorities.)<br />

<strong>Marcel's name</strong> as he was prayed for.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
Added Marcel's Hebrew transliterated name as recognizable for people who have prayed for him with his Hebrew name and who don't read Hebrew.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
<div style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
Added the <strong>mother's name</strong>, because she was his mother and she agreed to it. & because I am a feminist. Possibility of Sephardic Italian heritage which would include mother. Better for family tree info.</div>
</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; line-height: normal;">
<strong style="font-weight: normal;"><em>po nickbar</em> / </strong>here lies<strong style="font-weight: normal;"> </strong>and<strong style="font-weight: normal;"> <em>niftar</em></strong> / died Hebrew words and acronym smaller because they are not personal to him, but generic, just like acronym at bottom.</div>

<div style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
<strong>Dashes</strong> represent the years between birth and death.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
<strong>Substituted Tildas ~ </strong>between dates, etc, because Marcel's journey was not a straight dash line ride through life -but with ups and downs, as a roller coast ride, a teeter tooter taking it's bangs as it hits the ground and then soars again. From bitterness and struggle to joy. Marcel was the comeback king.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
<strong>Hebrew death date</strong> is purposefully reversed from right to left with transliteration of 17 Tevet.</div>

<strong style="font-style: normal;">Acronym "</strong><strong><i>tehe nishmato tzerurah bitzror hachayim</i><i style="font-style: normal;">"</i></strong><i style="font-style: normal;"> </i>at bottom I translated to English because no one ever knows what acronym means. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "clean" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>Tihiyeh nishmato tzror b'tzror hachaim</i></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "clean" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal;"> </span></div>

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

During his years in the medical intensive care unit, he also studied medical ethics and Jewish bio-ethics <em>Halachah</em>/ Jewish law in order to better guide patients and their families through critical end-of-life decisions. He also served several years as an expert on the VA’s Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Diagnosed in 1988 with a rare esthesioneuroblastoma, Marcel continued to teach and work despite numerous treatments including chemo and radiation, and two dozen surgeries. Throughout his struggle, he maintained his interest and enthusiasm for <strong>medicine, sports, humor, puzzles and religion.</strong> His dedication and courage will be remembered by his family, friends, colleagues and patients. During Marcel's last months while on life-support, a friend of mine who did not know Marcel went to visit him. The visit impacted my friend so greatly that she applied for Chaplaincy school with an essay on these visits, and was accepted and is being now trained in a Jewish chaplaincy school, The Academy of Jewish Religion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I decided that Marcel was a "Vessel of Love" because all that he could do in the final months was to receive all the love given to him from family, friends, colleagues, staff and strangers (my spiritual friends whom he had not known), and we knew it through his eyes. Marcel under earlier conditions, was a stand-up to lying-down comedian and he made me laugh when he was able to circle and point his index finger to his head and at me as if I was loco, when I was the ventriloquist for his stuffed teddy bear, Oatmeal, always a mascot by his side from ICU to ICU to ICU and now in Heaven with his pal, Marcel.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"Marcel’s dedication to life-long learning made him an excellent teacher and role model for students, faculty and staff.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Krauthammer truly enjoyed his students and specialized in reading X-rays of the chest and lungs. He would present "mystery" X-rays and students in class as well as colleagues at regional conferences, would try and identify the condition or disease. His extensive chest X-ray collection was recently donated to the UCLA Department of Radiology and continues to be used for teaching purposes.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">to Dr. Om Sharma<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Dear Dr. Om Sharma,</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am pleased that in 2006, the Southern California
Pulmonary Research Symposium has honored Marcel Krauthammer, MD's memory. His
"Mystery Chest X-ray Discussion" is again included in this year's
annual retreat, a "time honored, educational and enjoyable
tradition." I know that this inclusion would please my husband Marcel, of
blessed memory. Marcel would have turned 60 this week on May 10th. (Marcel's
first brain cancer surgery was at age 41.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you very much for offering your own case
presentations and stories at the Symposium this year. Your participation as
moderator and continuing this tradition means a lot to me. Enjoy our gift to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">During prior conferences Marcel truly loved
offering this fun Saturday evening event and having the participation of the
faculty and fellows in his great medical passion, chest X-rays. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Marcel's extensive collection of chest X-rays has
been donated, as arranged by his colleagues and former students, (and I am grateful)
to UCLA's Radiology Department. Marcel was pleased to hear this news which he
received while in an ICU on a life-support system. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is the X-ray collection he had saved from the Veteran's Administration Medical Center/VAMC after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. I showed Marcel the photo of his X-ray
collection on view at UCLA.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Marcel loved teaching medicine and wanted to be the
best possible teacher to his students in the UCLA teaching campuses. Marcel
wanted to emulate his finest teachers, and he achieved his goals. Marcel was a
hero. After he retired, I watched him teach recognition of tumors on X-rays.
The students had no clue of Marcel's medical condition and he went from the lecture
into spinal cord tumor surgery, never to walk again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"Marcel was relentless in his pursuit of
knowledge and in tracking down solutions to medical problems. He passed this
motivation on to everyone he taught,"</i> said Dr. Irwin Ziment.
Dr. Michael Golub stated, <i>"Marcel's dedication to life-long
learning made him an excellent teacher and role model for students, faculty and
staff. His enthusiasm and energy were awe-inspiring." </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In order to better guide medical students, interns,
residents, fellows, patients and their families through critical end-of-life
decisions, Marcel seriously studied Jewish Bio-Medical Ethics and Law / <i>Halacha</i>
in addition to medicine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am grateful for all the thoughtful ways in which
Marcel's colleagues have chosen to remember Marcel. It feels good to know that
Marcel has left a legacy in his chosen career. I promised Marcel that he would
not be forgotten. If some of your newer colleagues at the Symposium have
not known Marcel, they can see his smiling photo and UCLA obituary on the
internet. Computers had also been a major passion of Marcel's and now with his
death, he can be found in cyberspace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If you knew Marcel, you experienced the humor and
detective work in his teaching. Marcel loved TV's "Columbo" (but
always asked me to figure out the mystery and explain to him).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Years ago I, too, enjoyed the annual conferences
and would assist Marcel in <i>shlepping</i> the big heavy 'view boxes' (to view
X-rays). Personally, since 1974 I especially liked knowing Marcel's
illustrious, caring colleagues and spouses who would also attend conferences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Following Marcel's graduation from Albert Einstein
School of Medicine thirty-five years ago, and internship and residency at Long
Island Jewish Medical Center, Marcel began as a Fellow of Respiratory Medicine
under Dr. Karlman Wasserman and Dr. Irwin Ziment at Harbor General Hospital. In
1977 Marcel joined Sepulveda VAMC/Olive View Hospital/UCLA Medical Center to
begin serving as Director, Intensive Care Unit, Sepulveda VAMC and as UCLA
Professor of Medicine until he retired due to illness in 2000.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Dr. Irwin and Yda Ziment, dearest friends, have
been with Marcel through the UCLA system since 1974, the beginning of our
California lives and on the lengthy medical journey. Many of Marcel's former
Sepulveda VA and Olive View colleagues have kindly sent their condolences to me
when Marcel died almost four months ago on January 17, 2006 / <i>17 Tevet</i>. Attending
Marcel's (standing room only) funeral were pulmonologists Dr. Karlman Wasserman
and Dr. Yo Aelony, colleagues from the beginning years at Harbor General
Hospital.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Marcel wanted us to move to California (following
his Residency) for Fellowship training in 1974 because of Dr. Wasserman's
teaching reputation. Marcel changed his mind about going into private practice
and refused a position with a group he had been offered. (This did not please his father.) It did not matter to
Marcel that there was only a very small hospital stipend at the start; he
wanted to learn under "the best." Marcel also approved of his later career hours,
mostly not 'on-call'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Marcel's later colleagues and bosses, Drs. Jack
Lieberman, Michael Littner and Mike Golub were supportive of Marcel during the
eighteen years metastatic cancer-ridden journey. I hold all those treasured
friendships in my heart. Dr. Paul Selecky was there at the beginning of
Marcel's career, and when I called upon his "Palliative Care" wisdom
at the end of Marcel's life. Marcel's colleagues came when I called when Marcel
could no longer communicate. May his memory be a blessing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Because Marcel's friend (Rabbi Y. Adlerstein) would call and ask, <i>"How's the
good doc,"</i> I bless you and the faculty and fellows all the best in being
"good docs" in health and joy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In Marcel's memory, I have planted "Marcel's
Garden of Joy" (filled with purple bearded irises) at Barlow Respiratory
Hospital, where Marcel had served as professor. He had served as President
of the Trudeau Society and held his meetings at Barlow; then he became a
patient for two months of those final six months on life-support. The medical staff was shocked to see Marcel arrive on a gurney as
a patient. I wish Marcel could have gone instead to the baseball games he dearly loved
at nearby Dodger Field in Elysian Park, location also of Barlow Respiratory
hospital.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Reading a story in NY times* shared by Kalsman Institute and writing a REPLY note:</div>

<div>
My emotions are running wild from tears and joy of gratitude that you share this important difficult article on 'end-of-life' "life support" (regarding the woman) to the pain that I experienced with my own hubby, z"l on 'advanced life support' for the last 6 months of his brave suffering. My own husband, an ICU MD, clearly wrote NO "life support" on his Medical Directive. At the 911 moment that it was clear he would die (after having already 9 lives), our daughter on the midnight phone said, "I'm getting on a plane to come". That moment Marcel then said, "Put me on, I'll try it." Life in hospitals was beyond miserable with that new decision, but Marcel got to spend more time with our daughter (and family and friends who loved him and could tolerate this). This is exactly the week TEN YEARS AGO (July 21, 2005) that the decision was made to accept 'Life Support'.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Marcel was put on a Respirator and medically

<span style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Earlier in day and night, following ER the night

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Marcel worked hardest to overcome all obstacles
to be #1 and he was. A really hard challenge for Marcel was his severe
scoliosis getting in the way of his good golf swing. (The corrective
Harrington rod was always in the way of reading x-rays and diagnosing tumors
fully).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The last thing Marcel did tonight was to try to
breathe on his own. Marcel told us that he was really scared and asked us
not to leave him. Marcel needed the help of Hashem. The breath of G*d. Marcel chose
to battle like a warrior and do it. He wanted the chance to try his best,
so he chose to try the respirator, his own tool of his Pulmonary ICU trade; To
see if he could do it on his own. Marcel had written in all his Medical Directives
"NO" and said, "NO" to the respirator in front of all the
doctors when he could no longer breathe. Marcel told me whom to
call. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I called Aviva and I then told Marcel that Aviva
would come the next day. Marcel said, "Give me a few days and I will
see how I do."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Prior to that in his last days of physical therapy,
I watched Marcel as he was directed and motivated to sit on the edge of the bed
(in his paraplegic condition) and to let go of his two hands, and not hold on. Not
with even one. The fear factor was great but Marcel showed all of us
watching that he could do it! I remember a couple years ago at
Cedars-Sinai hospital following another spinal cored decompression surgery,
that Marcel was petrified getting out of bed with PT assistance with paralysis
beginning, and the bed was right next to a big scary clear glass picture window
on a high floor overlooking the city. Marcel did his best.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Just before entering the hospital this time and
on Marcel's last outing a couple days ago in the wheelchair van after visiting
the plastic surgeon, wearing his beautiful new Hawaiian t-shirt that Aviva and
Brett brought back from their honeymoon, I ran (so that we would not miss the
van) a couple of blocks in 100* + temp to get Marcel the sandwich he loved from
the kosher butcher - turkey with corned beef on rye with pickle. The
night before that I brought Marcel an Indian vegie meal which he loved
and the night before that I brought to Marcel a Chinese fish dish with
cabbage, his favorite, and also a Subway tuna sandwich, all his favorites
in the last few days, not knowing that these were his last meals. Not doing
well, Marcel worked hard at enjoying his meals, and especially that Kosher
sandwich which I had cut into small portions. We shared the pickle. Marcel
was #1 in enjoying his meals.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

HI,<br />
Marcel when he could talk up to July 21, 2005, believed and expressed himself to be a LEADER. Even if he went to play poker with the guys and ate chips and yummy cookies at their home, Marcel did differently and offered lots of pizzas. To Marcel, that was showing the way. Marcel stated that his father, zt"l had taught him this. When verbally expressive, Marcel let us know that he always wanted to be the best that he could be, in ways he believed. Marcel needed to reach his highest potential and he struggled at it. And he did. Somehow, Marcel continues even on paralyzed on a life-support system, to show us leadership. Marcel is awesome. I invite your comments here.<br />
<br />
From skiing to golf to baseball to scrabble to teaching and practicing medicine to being the best Torah reader-Ba'al Koreh, whatever activity Marcel addresssed, he tried his best and he never gave up, especially as a cancer patient since 1988. With Marcel's severe scoliosis, many of these activities posed their own problems which Marcel compulsively struggled non-stop at overcoming. Today, I believe that Marcel continues this struggle in his own way, and Marcel always did it his own way, as you who know him, knew. Yes, Marcel is a *"first born" (as I am also).<br />
<br />
If only Marcel could talk and tell us how he is now doing this struggle. Marcel did not like sharing intimate emotional details, so hopefully he is doing OK with NO verbal communication. (And our daughter is a speech-language pathologist.)<br />
<br />
I believe that Marcel personifies a REFUSAL TO GIVE UP. I think he is # 1 at this.<br />
<br />
Whereas others have always referred to Marcel being a "cat with many lives", I think Marcel is a lion, as we read about below.<br />
<br />
Torah. "She is a Tree of life to all who cling to her."<br />
<br />
I want to share the following drash excerpt on this week's <strong>Torah </strong>PARSHAT VA YIGASH, with you from R. David Fine of Kansas.<br />
<br />
"Perhaps one of the greatest keys to Jewish survival throughout its long history has been an unbridled optimism, a strong belief in the future and a refusal to give up. Even at times of great challenge, Jews have continued to maintain this belief in the future.<br />
<br />
When one considers Jewish history, it seems strange as to why Judah, out of all of his brothers, was given the blessing of royalty (see B'reishit 49:10 "The Scepter shall not depart from Judah). Usually it is the * first born who is given these privileges. Judah is special because he personifies this unique Jewish quality of never giving up. This is an inherent component of Judah's personality as indicated by Jacob in the blessing given to Judah in Chapter 49 ("he [Judah] crouches; lies down like a lion"). Judah seems like he has given up because he is in a lowly position. Immediately, however, the verse continues "and like an awesome lion, who dares arouse him?" A lion does not stay in a lowly position for long. He does not give up so easily. Judah exhibits this resolve in our parsha.<br />
<br />
Immediately at the beginning of VaYigash, Judah summons his strength, refuses to give up, and approaches Joseph with new-found strength and compels Joseph to become submissive and back down. The lesson from this commentary is clear. In order to be the leader of the Jewish people, one must epitomize these critical characteristics of being an optimist and a refusal to never give up.<br />
<br />
This idea should provide the Jewish people, who have indeed suffered from a long and bitter exile, with some much-needed solace and consolation and even optimism. Perhaps it does not make the exile any easier to bear, but it does demonstrate that G-d has a plan for us. Even though it may appear that others are controlling us, in reality it is G-d who has control over the Jewish people. It points to an end to the exile when this realization will become clear to all.<br />
<br />
It is not only Judah, therefore, that should have this optimism, but it is all his descendants. We are all known as Jews as we are descendants of Judah. Judah as our leader has taught us how we are not only to survive, but to lead."<br />
<br />
MY HOPE is that our/my friends do not give up on visiting Marcel, as hard as that visit is. This is your greatest gift, to all of us, in helping to sustain Marcel while he lies on this life-support system at this time.<br />
<br />
Shabbat shalom,<br />
With love and gratitude for all that you do,</div>

Dov has shlepped me back and forth to the LA facility because I can not drive with my very painful legs, post surgery. Dov has been teaching Marcel sign-language on each of his visits. Dov was also a emotional boost to me as always especially because Dov came on discharge day from ICU and admission day to Sub-Acute. These are always terribly difficult days with ambulance transfers and something always going wrong. This time I had not even seen the new facility and the transfer was traumatic. The nurses accompanying Marcel on the gurney on this day had to remind me to keep my love message short to Marcel at the elevators because his "oxygen was limited." That was reality with a fast good-bye.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hi,<br />Yesterday Marcel slept the entire afternoon while I visited him. His fever was miraculously almost gone at 99*. Nurses explained that since Marcel had been kept awake with their sponging down of him during the night, along with Tylenol, he was now sleeping. I was sad because this was my time with Marcel. I had brought photos to share, letters and love. I connected to the bed rail (so it does not go out to the laundry and trash) with a three foot long colorful ribbon, a new fun feeling textured squishy ball for Marcel to hold in his hand, a gift from my sister. I had tied some knots in the ribbon to give it more texture. Marcel runs his fingers up and down the feeding and respiratory tubes so I thought that this would be more enjoyable.<br /><br />I set up a new small radio which could fit between all the life-support machines on the small bedside table top. I set the dial to classical music 91.5 FM and taped it down so no one would change it. I taped down the volume and on/off buttons and clock dimmer and... so the radio would be always available to Marcel on the music he enjoys without ads. I hope it does not disappear.<br /><br />I filed Marcel's nails and found that whoever had cut them roughly had left dried blood on the finger. (I had the uneasy feeling that probably no one had put on an anti-biotic ointment to the small wound.) I taped up on the wall, new cards with large Mogen Dovids. I took down the Chanukiyah. I added messages for the VISITORS. I added some history, and decorated the prayers.<br /><br />I added more important hand-written signs in plastic clear views to the walls, explaining to the nurses how to properly care for Marcel. Worst of all for me is that when I came in, and as always, I found that Marcel's both feet were totally down on the mattress instead of being elevated, thus causing lymphedema and making for the possibility of decubitus ulcer wounds on his heels from the pressure. This is so upsetting to me and I had to find the head nurse and show her. Frustratingly, every single visit I explain this!<br /><br />Then the next horrible issue was that Marcel's left eye was totally squashed from a large pillow pushed up over his eye. It was totally blinding his vision. I keep explaining that because of his eye, that the small towel to prop up Marcel's head must be added over the pillow against his cheek and not under it. This is so painful to see. It provokes such anxiety in me. Every visit I explain to the nurses how to prop up Marcel's head so that this does not happen. And then I ask Marcel if that is better and he nods yes, and the nurse sees Marcel nod.<br /><br />Is there no sense? No Sechel? Each time I look at the staff and ask how they would feel if their vision was blinded, or if their head was fallen off to one side while their body was facing the other direction. This hurts. I explain that Marcel can not smell, barely feel, can't talk, can't taste. And now they are blinding him. I explain that this is morally wrong. So I add another big fat colored note to the wall and to the chart, and so it goes. This is why it is so important for every visitor to see Marcel's positioning and ask to have it corrected. I just called the morning nurse and reminded her to teach the day's CNA's how to do this. Every day...<br /><br />As soon as I left Marcel, sadly without being able to otherwise communicate with him, friends of mine visited from B'nai Horin. Thankfully Gayle Gale and Alula reached me on my cell as I was in the car and I told them, TO WAKE MARCEL. Finally Marcel awoke to their concert. Can you imagine Marcel clearly looking out at Alula, Ethiopian with his many African hair braids singing to him, "A Yiddishe Mama?" I love it. GG and Alula sang many Jewish songs to Marcel and they had good eye contact. GG said she had made Marcel a greeting card. I wonder how the Chinese patient in the next bed enjoyed the concert. I then called Marcel's mother so she could have pleasure knowing that Marcel was receiving such divine gifts for his soul.</span></div>

Since Marcel, z"l, died, I have consciously continually honored his memory, and his <i>Neshama</i>, in all traditional ways and also nontradional ways.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

It is important to me to traditionally have a Jewish child NAMED after a deceased loved one.</div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">

Marcel's and my daughter, Aviva, is named for my mother, Libby, z"l. With traditional wisdom of naming, I spoke to my rabbis and daughter and son-in-law of the importance of a baby's name and <i>Neshama / </i>soul.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
A new baby, Maya Sage Nechama, has been named in Marcel's memory. <i>Amayn</i>.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
I made a contribution,<i> tzedakah</i>, to that naming synagogue for Marcel's Neshama and Hebrew baby naming.</div>

One week ago when I was visiting (during a major hurricane and, <i>oy</i>, a week-long blackout), Marcel's and my first grandchild, when baby Maya Sage was two weeks old-- her parents accompanied her to her local Maryland synagogue (Ohr Kodesh), when <i>Torah</i> was being read. Aviva and baby had a traditional <i>MiSheberach</i> prayer said for them, while Brett went 'up to Torah' and had an <i>Aliyah</i>. Aviva <i>benched Gomel, </i>as is traditional following birth of baby to thank the Holy One.<br />

At the Torah, Baby was given the Hebrew name of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Maya Nechama</span>, named for her grandfather Marcel, Menachem Elimelech, z'l. <i>Amayn</i>. Both Nechama and Menachem translate to 'comfort'.</div>

Marcel had requested only a standing granite stone, per contract and family history; Because of this cemetery, with guilt and remorse, after purchase, I had to settle for a flat grave stone, and tried to appease his request and Neshamah.<br />

On Marcel's yahrzeits, I bring to shul, Chabad of Northridge (where Marcel served as <i>Ba'al Koreh</i> for 18 years), for the rabbi to read to <i>Shacharit</i> morning assembled congregation -- from a heavy over sized book called "<u>Divrei Shulim</u>" ~ The Wisdom of Shulim Krauthammer: Letters to his sons, 1974-1984. The rabbi reads a teaching in the book on the Torah's <i>Parsha</i>, that was hand-written each week by Shulim based on weekly learning with his renowned teacher, Rabbi Yosef Soleveichik, z"l, and desiring to share that wisdom with his sons. Marcel's parents, Shulim and Thea, were devoted to him and his brother.<br />
<i>(I still have the original letters sent to Marcel from the time we were married.)</i><br />

Marcel Krauthammer, MD would be embarrassed that once again, for years, he was voted by UCLA Housestaff as <b>UCLA Professor of Medicine of the Year.</b> Marcel's UCLA obituary is on-line. Marcel was a graduate of Yeshiva's Albert Einstein College of Medicine/AECOM. He continued his studies in Jewish medical ethics (and Gemara) while director of VAMC Intensive Care Unit (until the 1994 earthquake). Directing the ICU for 17 years and later years in clinics, along with specializing in Critical Care, Pulmonary medicine (and radiology), he also (while treating patients) taught medical ethics to the UCLA medical students, interns, residents and fellows. Marcel's goal was always to be as good as his own professors of Medicine and he was. When Marcel needed to retire early from UCLA, I found him a part-time job teaching golf at the local university, CSUN, and teaching his passion made him happy. Marcel also taught golf to our daughter. When we dated, together we played 'miniature golf'.<br />
<br />
This week during Sephirat HaOmer's week of Tiferet, Marcel, z"l, would have turned 73, but he died after 18 years of debilitating cancer at 59 years old. I continue to say Kaddish and Yiskor at the Chabad of Northridge where Marcel devotedly served Jewish community every Shabbat for 18 years as Ba'al Koreh / Torah chanter.<br />

<i>L'Dor V'Dor:</i> Aviva and Brett's daughters go to Jewish schools and learn to speak and sing (and drum) Hebrew.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> My husband, Marcel, z”l, (of blessed memory) died this
year. This is my first Chanukah without Marcel standing next to me or
even lying in hospital beds as I stood next to him. (Not sharing candles as
I grew up doing, but each with "our own <i>chanukiyah</i>",
his Orthodox childhood custom, Marcel explained to me 36 years ago.) In the
hospitals we used my Velcroed quilted menorah, cloth candles and
flames: the hanging menorah -- a gift from the Russian family I had
adopted. No candles allowed in ICU's. I really tried to bring Chanukah to
Marcel while in hospitals, as did our daughter with her bride-groom.
This year, because of my dedicated advocacy on behalf of Jewish
patients, our local (Catholic) Northridge Hospital now has 15 individual
electric menorahs for patients and a large menorah in the lobby, and a
Jewish Chaplain, my Chabad Rabbi Eli Rivkin.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I released new energy into the world, when tonight, I said
the blessings and lit the Chanukah <i>shamash</i> and four
candles. I was co-creating with the Source of All BlesSings by kindling
candles. But then suddenly, I started over and I sang the blessings again
because I realized that I had said them quietly mostly to myself, and I
needed to sing them more cheerfully and out loud with alive energy, while
inviting Marcel in to join me. (I would do the same on Sukkot,
inviting <i>ushpizin</i>, the spiritual guests.) Maybe Marcel held my
hand while I kindled. I opened the door to my heart, my <i>Tiferet</i> space.
That felt better. Then I sang Marcel's favorite Chanukah song, "<i>Maoz
tzur yeshua-si, Lecha na-eh li-sha-beyach</i>..." O Rock of my
salvation, with delight we praise You.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I have not yet eaten a <i>latke</i> / potato
pancake or played <i>dreidle</i>, but I did have half a <i>sufganiyot</i>
/ jelly donut and chocolate <i>gelt</i> (coins) at synagogue. I
sent <i>tzedakah /</i> charity. I skipped all the Chanukah
celebrations except at <i>shul</i> on Shabbat. On the first
night, I was somewhat sad in synagogue, but I loved seeing Rabbi Debra
Orenstein warmly bless the children by the menorah. At home, I did create a
computer artsy menorah, and in the <i>zechut /</i> merit, of my
husband's <i>neshamah /</i> soul, I sent it with Chanukah
greetings filled with teachings and meditations on <i>ohr/ /</i> light,
to my family and community. <i>"The light represents the light of
Divine teachings,"</i> I am reminded of my teacher, Yosef ben Shlomo Hakohen's
words. "Torah is Light." (Proverbs 6:23)</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Tonight I gazed at my candles. Meditating, I stood right
next to them peering into them. From the distance was not good enough; I
wanted to see the insides of the flames; their <i>neshamahs /</i> souls.
(Could I be inside the flame?) I was searching for meaning. I felt blank. I
could not feel the warmth, nor feel like a <i>shamash</i> myself.
The <i>ner /</i> candle, consists of three parts, the <i>ner</i> itself,
the <i>patil</i>--the wick, and the <i>shemen</i> --oil. <i>Ner,
Patil, Shemen</i>: the first letters of the three parts of the candle spell
out <i>Nefesh</i>--soul.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">I looked into each flame individually. They were related,
almost same size, height, width and dance. I was disappointed that within,
they were mostly bland without 'fiery' color except for the lower blue and
wick. I thought of Reb Shlomo Carlebach’s, z'l, teaching; that I
could let the Chanukah light shine into all areas of my darkness. I gazed
at the light knowing it is wondrously, the same <i>Ohr Ha-Ganuz</i>,
primordial light, already here from Creation, Temple days and miracle days.
I brought the light into my heart space yearning to experience my own soul
at this moment. This Chanukah, while alone, there have been more 'grieving'
tears. What happens when a tear meets a flame? (I observed my tears flowing
into water while swimming this summer.) Probably for the first time in my
life, I placed my moist finger into a flame, to feel its reality. I needed
to do this.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Then facing the dark window on the other side of my menorah
(I rescued it from an antiques store just before being married), I gazed at
the dark illuminated reflection of me gazing at the barely dancing lit
candles. I liked seeing myself with the candles. It was a different
experience. It was dark 2D of me. I could see the outline of the flames
more clearly than the ones in front of my face. Strangely, it was easier to
describe the light by it's reflection, than by it's own full being. Try
communicating a flame's form... Revealed, the transcendent light is real, a

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Toward the end, the candles were as if souls returning to
the Creator with their last breath. No longer reaching upwards in a dance
between heaven and earth, they were a fragment of their former selves,
returning to their grounding wick. Pure blue light while ending their
life. No other colors. Holding their own, I watched them each slowly die
without even a flicker. Just poof and gone to G*d. I tried feeling for a
rising soul. OHR (light), G*d's expression of existence, was no longer
revealed to me.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0099;"><strong>Aviva is really something special</strong>.</span> Wish you could have been here too to celebrate our <em>simcha </em>with us, <span style="color: #0033ff;">our 30th wedding anniversary</span>.</div>

Aviva's fiance', <span style="color: #cc3366;">Brett,</span> played along; when he arrived with Aviva by plane from Boston the night before, Brett pretended that he did not know it was our anniversary. I was a teeny surprised by Brett's not knowing as they arrived, on this, the day of our 30th anniversary. He was apologetic as he proudly handed me an addition to my tourist shot glass collection. (Most of my collected around the world glass memories died in the '94 Northridge earthquake.) I am now the owner of a 2004 World Series Champions -- Boston Red Sox shot glass. (I also have a Cheers glass from my visit to Boston when Aviva first moved there for a Hillel job in 2000.) It is the only space I have for gifts. Marcel received from Aviva and Brett, a similar winner themed t-shirt.</div>

Aviva <span style="color: red;">TOTALLY AND SHOCKINGLY suprised me</span> with the glorious gathering she gave to Marcel and me yesterday for our 30th wedding anniversary. I am amazed that Aviva could pull this off without me knowing or even suspecting. Roy, Marcel's aide, was even in on it, making sure Marcel was up and looking great in his new t-shirt. Marcel became speechless with the surprise visit of our guests.</div>

<strong>I could not believe what I was seeing</strong>. I was stunned. It was as if I was watching a movie--of my life, a parade -- and each one all these dozens of people, dear, loving, caring, sharing, deep long-time friends of ours continuing in our lives today, arrived as in a parade band, cheering us, one by one in line and with percussion instruments–my tambourines and shakers. It was so strange...Surreal, as Marcel and I sat outside in the back porch getting ready to eat take-out vegie Chinese lunch (because I did not have time to cook the defrosted turkey), they entered, each friend from under the fruit-filled grapefruit tree, turning the corner from the side of the house and in the parade front was carried a giant 6' long banner reading, "HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY JOY AND MARCEL." Ariel Levy, Aviva's god-sister, did a great job printing that out for us as a surprise.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">

These friends, every one of them, have been there for Marcel and me in trying times and times of joy. They have been there in the waiting room during Marcel's first brain surgery in 1988 and the many cancer operations following, always on call for us and present with <em>Bikkur Cholim</em>; visiting us at hospital and home, bringing cheer and goodies. We have shared <em>shuls </em>since being in the Valley and Aviva's birth. Friends have been there during Aviva's <em>Bat Mitzvah</em> in 1990 and with us during Aviva and Brett's engagement this last summer, 2004. They have shlepped assisting me with Marcel's needs, and in support to my performances as percussionist. We have played and prayed, laughed and cried, and gardened together.</div>

As friend Yda wrote to us, excerpted from her 30th anniversary card "..<i>.in times of happiness and tragedy, troubles and rewards, yom tovs and bad days.</i>.." All, oh so very true. I hope that I too have been a friend to our friends, <strong>our angels</strong>, as they have all been to us. My eyes are tearing and I am choking up right now remembering yesterday, and how my tears of deep joyful, grateful, and touching emotion flowed from the moment friends were one by one and all in my sight and through the glorious gathering.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">

My immediate thought was, "How am I going to feed all these people?", and raced into the house to gather up nuts and fruits," having no idea that <span style="color: #6633ff;">Aviva and her partner in this, my dear sister Faye</span><span style="color: #6666ff;">,</span> and our friend Suzanne were shlepping in tables, chairs, <span style="color: #9966cc;">purple</span> cloths, and food etc. I could not believe what I was seeing. It drizzled and everyone came closer together outside and some inside as they all gathered to honor us with their presence. The pack of <span style="color: #990099;">purple</span> and silver balloons here remind me that it is real, as do all the yummy chocolates and cheerful flowers and greeting cards. I had even placed outside, thinking we had one guest, the lovely bouquet from Marcel's mom, filled with <span style="color: #9900cc;">purple</span> dutch iris, <span style="color: #9900cc;">purple</span> liatris, <span style="color: #cc00cc;">purple</span> lisianthus, <span style="color: #9966cc;">purple</span>-yellow tulips and yellow and white mums and daisies. I had picked and arranged my favorite <span style="color: #996699;">purple</span> bearded irises, seasonal yellow mums and red roses for inside.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">

Aviva printed and surprised us with an enlargement of one of our 1974 wedding photos and had that framed on the table for all to see; we looked so happy and smilingly cute together. Me in my long hair and Mexican white woven<em>sniut </em>/ modest wedding dress we bought for $20 in Tijuana, and the veil I created, and Marcel with his big brown velvety bow tie for our Chabad wedding. I can still taste that wedding cake from Schwartz's LA kosher bakery.</div>

In addition to our huge personalized delicious rich chocolate cake with a sizzling sparkler, Aviva and Faye also sweetly had an apple cake decorated for three dear friends celebrating their birthdays, back to back beginning yesterday, Barbara, Yda and Suzanne. (Karen's had been a week earlier.) </div>

The table was graced with potted <span style="color: #ff9933;">fall-colored</span> mum flowers and chocolates from friends and <span style="color: #9933cc;">purple </span>flower vases, and a beautiful ceramic bowl for embracing luscious persimmons and other fruits. Some people, like Yda and Irwin have been with us since our wedding; Irwin and Marcel were colleagues for decades, and others like Suzanne and Alan, since my college days when Marcel and I were dating from 1969. They <em>kvell </em> with her memories. Friends were here from our religious communities with the Temple Ramat Zion Minyanairres, Young Israel, and during the days of Heschel Day School, and when Aviva baby sat for their children.</div>

Too bad I would not change out of my<strike> blue</strike> <span style="color: #993399;">purple </span>jeans and<span style="color: #9900cc;"> purple</span> t-shirt for the one friend Aviva said was coming over; her friend since Heschel kindergarten, Shelly.

Not even earrings or make-up had I put on. At least I had taken out a gorgeous batiked red tassled table cloth from Bali.</div>

I can not believe how many friends I spoke to during that and the prior day, who did not let on that I would see them in a few hours.</div>

Interesting how many chairs and little tables I have around the back porch that I was able to keep pulling out. Am I glad I decided to dust the porch in the morning.</div>

Oh, yes, immediately prior to the surprise!!! party, instead of dragging Aviva to the eye glass store for her opinion on the <span style="color: #9966cc;">purple</span> frames I was choosing, I took her into a boutique shop and early for Chanukah, bought her a few unbelievable stunning and unique outfits. All the women trying on clothes opened the doors to their dressing rooms to come out and see what the fuss was all about --that the Boutique women were making in oogling Aviva's modeling expertise. Everyone was jealous of how the garments looked on her tall, slim graceful body.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: ArialMT; font-size: 14px; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">

It was a memorable day. And when everyone left after yummy cakes, fruits and drinks, Aviva and Brett met at the house with a musician--a band leader, and then a wedding photographer, each to sell their wares. The guitarist Dale, serended Marcel in his hospital bed here at the house. Amazing day. Amazing Grace.</div>

Our friends truly present in celebration whom I dearly love in addition to my loving family, <span style="color: #9900cc;">Aviva and Brett, and Faye and Jim</span>, include: <span style="color: #9933cc;">Adina and Jerrry Kraim, Barbara Klaristenfeld, Joyce and Sheldon Kirsch, Karen and Brian Reff and their children, Jesse, Chana and Ben (with a head of new corn rows instead of his huge impressive afro), Lisa Weisbrod, Luisa Latham and Arnold Bryman, Shelly and dad Louis Magier, Shelly and Pepi Rosenbaum, Suzanne and Alan Levy, and Yda and Irwin Ziment.</span> </div>

I organized the spontaneous take over of the Men's Room because the Ladies Room line in between conference sessions was way too long, and I did not want to wait! Years earlier in my MBA program, I had learned a lesson: "Where there is a need, fill it!" The few men cleared out and the Men's Room was ours! We filled it! Another guy did come in and used a stall but we needy women mostly ignored him. No waiting! <i>(See photos)</i><o:p></o:p></div>

I think we had also just experienced 'performance art' in the Men's Room.<o:p></o:p></div>

During the Poetry Therapy session I shared the few words that my husband, z"l/obm, would speak about in his own life filled with metastatic brain cancer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Marcel would say this to me, to friends, and even to strangers upon introduction when he was asked, "<i>How are you?"</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The workshop had been given by Dr. Robert Carroll, a poet and UCLA psychiatrist who focuses in his field on brain cancer patients, giving them the ability to express their thoughts and feelings through poetry. I wish that for a moment when I chose this workshop to attend, that I had recalled (having heard him speak before) Dr. Carroll's focused specialty, and realized how I could again react. Hearing him refer to a UCLA Neuro-Oncology symposium on brain cancer held in this same building, put an immediate unpleasant feeling, a straightening jolt in my body, alerting me to the traumatic past. The PTSD in me was unwelcome. As if only yesterday, quickly my mind went back to 1988, 25 years earlier. Only a few buildings away in the hospital, Marcel, from two post-brain surgeries, had been comatose for three months on life-support, and filled with substance-filled medical tubes coming also from his brain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Dr. Carroll recited his own personal medical poem "What Waiting Is". Bedside, I had waited daily for three long months in the UCLA hospital for Marcel to regain consciousness. All the other patients with head-bandages, got up and left after their five days post-surgery. Not us. While Dr. Carroll stood and recited his poem, I sat forward and catching his eyes, I looked straight at him intently listening, not looking at the poem on paper. I related all too well to "waiting" through all the difficult medical experiences and two-dozen surgeries. When the poet MD was through reciting, I wanted to respond with my own writing and insights on the blank paper in front of me, but there was no time for our group to write. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I had shared out loud that I felt it was a great gift to teach Poetry Therapy, and offer people a cathartic opportunity to express themselves. (In the early 1970's I had known Dr. Jack Leedy, founder of Poetry Therapy, because we worked in the same Brooklyn hospital.) My husband for the 18 years of his cancer (no adjectives suffice) didn't write about it emotionally, but only to keep a hand-written factual medical journal in a little book; Lots of details. Only once Marcel complained to me, when pain was so bad, and said that he otherwise would never tell me about the pain so as not to upset me. Instead of writing about the pain, Marcel loved humor and wrote jokes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
What I had wanted to share in session after hearing the poem about 'waiting', is that when in the ICU waiting room, it does not matter what culture, race, or religion one is; Black, White, Asian, European, Jewish, Arab, what wars are fought between peoples-- we are all present for our loved ones, waiting in cold rooms for hours, overnight, days, weeks, months, with others waiting in fear, horror, stress, concern and love, in the unknown, maybe with tears, maybe with visitors keeping us warm. We embrace the stranger. We feel for the stranger. We empathize with the stranger. We hear each others' stories. We hear their foreign languages. See their foreign outer garments. We are all in the same small waiting room and we wait. Maybe we have ethnic snacks to share. Maybe we recognize others (even our own internist because their grandma is sick/dying) and we learn of their loved ones. Maybe we even keep up those formed bonds when our loved ones die and are buried, and we even see the others' loved ones' gravestones and artifacts left in love. We remember our humanity, and it didn't matter how different we are on the outside, but that our hearts and souls have been touched by love and compassion, maybe tribal commonalities, and maybe even by fun colorful socks and snacks.<o:p></o:p></div>
