Our beloved Cantor Ilan Mamber suffered a heart attack and unfortunately, he passed away on Tuesday, July 31st.
We have no intelligent words to express our overwhelming grief.

The Talmud teaches that God collects the tears of those who cry for the righteous and keeps them in God's sacred treasure. Cantor Mamber was perhaps the embodiment of righteousness, love, authenticity, and kindness. These are exactly the ways we will navigate these turbulent waters, together, and these are the tears we will cry.
The Board of Trustees of Temple Beth Rishon has respectfully created
The Hazzan Ilan Mamber Memorial Fund.
What better way to perpetuate Ilan’s passion and tireless energy for all that exists here at TBR
than to dedicate funding to maintain and enhance our building and programming.
