Ernest Leibowitz of the RCHCC has passed away
JOBURG - It is with great sadness that the management of the Rabbi Cyril Harris Community Centre (RCHCC) announced that their chairman, Ernest Leibowitz, passed away suddenly on 17 October.
As a founder of the RCHCC, he was considered a pillar of strength and a source of inspiration, wisdom, fairness and diplomacy. Before passing, Leibowitz was proud to see the dream he had shared with Rabbi Cyril Harris and Lolly Lotzoff of creating a vibrant, active community centre had been realised.
Leibowitz was a dear friend to many at the centre and will be sorely missed by all.
Hazel Cohen, who is part of the community centre, said she and her colleagues Harris, Lotzoff, Rene Sidley and Kevin Norwitz, extended their deepest condolences to his long-standing partner, Brenda Lasersohn; his children Mark, David, and Sandy; his sister and brother-in-law, Shirley and Anthony Spitz, and all of his grandchildren.
