  PRESS RELEASE:

  The Yiddish Voice, Boston's weekly Yiddish-language radio show,
  mourns the passing of Elvira David, who died on September 14, 2006,
  at age 75.  Elvira David, the mother of the show's host and producer
  Mark David, was born in Jasina, Czechoslovakia, on September 22,
  1930, and moved to Chust, Hungary, in 1940. Her family was deported
  to Auschwitz by the Germans in 1944, and she and one sister were the
  only survivors among their immediate family.  A few years after the
  war, she and her sister were taken in by relatives in New York. She
  finished high school, then attended Hood College, earning a degree
  in Chemistry, and eventually settled in Chicago, where she met her
  husband Fred David. From the 1950's through the 1980's, the couple
  raised a family and ran a business.  In the late 1980's, they moved
  to Los Angeles, where she died on September 14, 2006, after an
  extraordinarily long bout with Shy-Drager Syndrome, a neurological
  illness similar to Parkinson's Disease.

  A Shloyshim Memorial Program for Elvira David will be broadcast on
  The Yiddish Voice, in two parts on successive Wednesdays, October 25
  and November 1, 2006, at 7:30 p.m., on WUNR 1600 AM/Brookline

Earlier announcement:

17 October 2004: We've just received the sad news that our friend and long-time contributor to The Yiddish Voice Miriam Libenson has passed away. She was just over ninety years old. She lived her last years in Israel, which she always called "home". Miriam Libenson was our radio program's resident poet as well as our main commentator on religious and Jewish-holiday matters. Our collection of her recordings are one of the crowns of our show's archives and are played regularly to this day. They were filled with Jewish knowledge, highlighted by memories of her youth in her shtetl Aniksht (Lithuania), and usually accompanied by her own original Yiddish poetry -- she'd written poetry her whole life. She will be greatly missed by all our volunteers and listeners. Most significantly, she was a lifelong friend of our cohost Hasia Segal. Our deepest sympathy to her sons Michael and Eli, and all her family. Further information and details will posted soon. We will present a shloyshim memorial program on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 on The Yiddish Voice (WUNR 1600 AM) at 7:30 p.m.

• Hasia Segal (Host, worked with Cantor Kandler for more than 30 years)
• Rev. Myer Loketch (Shamus, Temple Young Israel, Brookline, MA, and family friend);
• Cantor Morton Shames (Cantor, Temple Beth-El, Springfield, MA, and long-time friend of Cantor Kandler);
• Cantor Morton Shanuk (Cantor Emeritus, Temple Beth-El, Swampscott, MA, and long-time friend of Cantor Kandler)
• many recordings of the music of Cantor Kandler, including an exclusive recording of a Shabes-Nign learned from the family of the late world-renouned cantor Yosele Rosenblatt; and
• a rare recording or the late Cantor Gregor (Grisha) Shelkan, raised in the same city, Libave, in Latvia (Yiddish name: _Lyepay'_ or _Liba've_, German name: Libau, Latvian name: _Liepa`ja_) as Cantor Kandler, and a close friend, singing a Yiddish song learned in their common home town

The following death notice appeared in the The New York Times:

August 9, 2001, Thursday

KANDLER-Simon, Hazzan Dr. The Cantors Assembly records with sorrow the passing of our oldest colleague and revered member of over five decades. A brilliant cantor with a magnificent voice, he quietly and gently served the spiritual needs of his temple Beth Emeth of Chestnut Hill, Mass., for almost 60 years with dignity, warmth and care. He was awarded an Honorary Degree by the JTSA in 1998. His kindness, his humanity and his caring inspired us all. We extend our sympathy to his family and loved ones. May his memory abide as a blessing. Hazzan Sheldon Levin, President Hazzan Stephen J. Stein, Exec. VP Hazzan Abraham B. Shapiro Executive Administrator
