                  With deep sadness we have learned of the untimely passing of Rav Abba Dunner, the irreplaceable Executive Director of the Conference of European Rabbis.

                  The entire life of Abba Dunner was an example of service to the Jewish tradition, to the ideas of humanism and tolerance, to peace and rapprochement between peoples and continents.

                  Abba Dunner was extremely interested in the rebirth of Jewish life in post-Soviet territory, was an indispensible adviser and participant of many Euro-Asian Jewish Congress initiatives. He was a tried and true supporter of the Jewish active functionaries during the years when organized Jewish life in the former USSR was jsut beginning to come into its own.

                  Wise and responsibve, witty and loyal – this is how we shall always remember him. We express our deepest condolences to the family and friends, colleagues and co-workers of Rav Dunner – to all those who knew him and valued highly his charisma and spirit. We grieve with you, and pray to the Almighty to send solace to all who grieve.
