The messages and blog posts keep coming -- in my email account, on my friends' Facebook profiles, on my college Listserv. Rabbi Lew touched so many people's hearts, and influenced the religious journeys of so many more.
I never met Rabbi Lew. Many of my friends and colleagues did. But I read one of his books and was touched deeply by it. Mostly, I'm saddened by the principle of his death: that in this world griped by bombing, war, financial collapse and ecological ruin, one of the "good guys" had to leave. I'm sad for the redemptive acts he didn't get to finish.
I wanted to share this beautiful eulogy, delivered at his funeral:
