Irene Klass was a pillar of strength in emunah, bitachon, and love of mitzvos and the Creator. Read Article 2) Posted Jan 19 2011 Irene Klass: A Role Model By Prof. Livia Bitton Jackson When, in referring to the Holocaust, my students ask, "how can you face life after what you have been through?" I explain that having been traumatized by human cruelty I cope with the world by exploring goodness in people. Human kindness is my antidote for human evil. I collect good people. My collection of good people is my most valued possession. My collection of good people is my armor against pain. Read Article 3) Posted Jan 12 2011 A Collection Of Tributes From Readers And Friends I will always feel eternally indebted to Irene Klass because if ever I had a writing cheerleader, it was Irene who played that role... for decades. Read Article 4) Posted Dec 22 2010 Keeping A Watchful Eye On Her Flock By Helen Zegerman Schwimmer "What's new?" It was a casual question, posed to me by Irene Klass when we met at a Jewish women's lecture during the fall of 1994. Read Article 5) Posted Dec 22 2010 Remembering Irene Klass By Sheila Abrams, Former Jewish Press Magazine Editor During my 25 years as an editor at The Jewish Press, I accumulated many fond memories of Irene Klass, a"h. Read Article 6) Posted Dec 22 2010 A Collection Of Tributes From Readers And Friends Read Article 7) Posted Dec 15 2010 In Praise Of Bubby By Rafi Fuchs The Gemara in Brachos says that one is not allowed to add his own praises of Hashem while davening. The Gemara explains that by doing so it could seem that what one added was the only praise missing, and that there are no more praises of Hashem. Similarly, Bubby, for one to try to mention all of your praises would be impossible. With that said I would like to mention a few points, without implying that this is all there is to be said. Read Article 8) Posted Dec 15 2010 Friendship: A Tribute To My Dear Friend Irene Klass, z"l By Cecelia Margules An unlikely friendship we formed Hard to define or explain Never bound by rules or age Rather by mutual ideas and thoughts Read Article 9) Posted Dec 08 2010 How A Conversation In A Pool Changed My Life By Cheryl Kupfer I was deeply saddened by the petira of Mrs. Irene Klass, a"h, wife and daughter of Rabbi Sholom Klass, z"l and Mr. Raphael Schreiber, a"h, founders of The Jewish Press. Although our paths only crossed once - and just for a minute - that one very brief encounter had a lasting, positive impact on the quality of my life. The handful of words that Mrs. Klass, a complete stranger, said to me ignited a flicker of light on the gloomy road I was on, a light that was to grow stronger and brighter with the passing of time. Almost comically, this encounter took place over 25 years ago in a swimming pool at the Homowack Hotel in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Read Article 10) Posted Dec 08 2010 The Passing Of Irene Klass: The End Of An Era By Pearl Preschel Herzog It was with profound sadness that I absorbed the news last week that the petite, charming Irene, wife of Rabbi Sholom Klass, and publisher of The Jewish Press, returned her soul to her Maker. Read Article 11) Posted Dec 08 2010 Bubby By Dovid Schwartz The Gemara in Sanhedrin, Daf Mem Zayin, Amud Alef, concludes that a hesped or eulogy is in honor of the deceased, and not the living, so as such even though I am not worthy of being maspid you, I will say something nevertheless. Read Article 12) Posted Dec 01 2010 I Remember Irene By Dvora Waysman The first time I met Irene Klass, of blessed memory, was in Israel. I was an olah hadasha (new immigrant) in 1971, and she had come to visit her daughter Naomi, who at that time lived near me in the Jerusalem suburb of Kiryat Moshe. "What do you do?" she asked me. "Well, I'm a writer, but haven't found much work in Israel. In Australia, I was helping my husband in his pharmacy as a Revlon Beauty Consultant." Read Article 13) Posted Dec 01 2010 Remembering Irene By Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis I was in Brazil, speaking to the Jewish community of Sao Paulo, when the sad news of the petira of Irene Klass reached me. Many memories, many scenes, many conversations and experiences flashed through my mind. With Irene's passing, a whole era - a whole way of thinking, of values, of goals, of idealism - disappeared. Irene had a sense of mission and never allowed politics, petty jealousies or territorial considerations to influence her. Read Article 14) Posted Dec 01 2010 A Life Of Triumph: Mrs. Irene Klass By Rabbi Moshe Plutchok When Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch started dating his wife, they realized she was four years his senior. She, being a good German woman, suggested that maybe they call if off because she was older than him. He looked at her and said, "Lady, for what I have planned I need a mature woman."
