Company reserves the right to refuse use of the Services to anyone and to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove or suspend any Campaign, Donation, or the Services at any time for any reason without liability.

Definitions: In these Terms and Conditions "Campaign Organizers" means those raising funds, and "Campaigns" as their fundraising campaigns. Additionally, "Donors" means those contributing funds, and "Donations" as the funds they contribute. Campaign Organizers, Donors and other visitors to the Services are referred to collectively as "Users". The term "Campaign Organizers" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of Campaigns.

Services: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to Users of the Services. Among other features, the Services are designed to allow Campaign Organizers to post Campaigns to the Platform to accept Donations from Donors. Although there are no fees to set up Campaigns, a portion of each Donation will be charged as fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance thereof. The Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Services. To the extent you access the Services through a mobile device, your wireless service carrier's standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Services may work with all carriers or devices. By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding Company and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about use of the Services may be communicated to us.

Charitable Giving: Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible charitable contributions. Any Donation you make through the Platform may be processed by an unaffiliated business partner for which a processing fee (in addition to our FrontRunner Professional Fee) is deducted. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Company is not a charity, and Company does not solicit charitable donations for itself or for any third-party charitable institution. Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations.

Administrative Platform Only: The Services are an administrative platform only. The Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors, and is not a party to any agreement between Campaign Organizers and Donors. Company is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any user. Company has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by Campaign Organizers, and Company hereby disclaims all liability in this regard. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the success or outcome of any Campaign. Donors must in their sole discretion make the final determination of making Donations to any Campaigns. Donors are solely responsible for asking questions and investigating Campaign Organizers and Campaigns to the extent they feel is necessary before making a Contribution. All Donations are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of Donors. Company does not guarantee that Donations will be used as promised. Company does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality, safety, or legality of any Campaign. Donors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their Donations for tax purposes.

No Verification of Campaign Information: We do not verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, and do not guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by Campaign Organizers. We disclaim and assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws.

Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Company in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services' registration form. Campaign Organizers must register using their true identities, including their name and any image purporting to depict the Campaign Organizer. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with (and agree to the terms of) third party service providers (e.g., payment processors or charitable donation processors) in order to utilize such Services. While we may help facilitate such registration in some cases, we are not a party to any such relationships and disclaim any responsibility or liability for the performance by such third parties. We may exchange information with such third party services in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services).

Public Display of Donations: Donors have the option to publicly display their Donations for public viewing or allow their information to be provided to the Campaign beneficiary(ies). To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the appropriate checkbox during the Donation process. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.

Payment of Donations: In order to contribute to a Campaign, Donors will be required to provide Company information regarding its credit card (i.e., VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) or other payment method. Donors represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that Donors are authorized to use the credit card or payment method. Donors agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and cannot be refunded. Donors agree to promptly update account information with any changes that may occur and to pay the Donation amount that you specify. Donors hereby authorize Company to bill Donors' credit cards and payment methods in advance on a periodic basis until Donors terminate periodic payments through the Platform.

Fees: Company does not charge Campaign Organizers any upfront fees for Campaigns. Company retains a portion of each Donation contributed to Campaigns in the amount of four percent (4%) ("FrontRunner Professional Fee"). A portion of the Donation is payable to our third party payment processors ("Processing Fee"). Donors acknowledge that by contributing Donations to Campaigns, Donors are agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by a third party payment processor, in addition to these Terms and Conditions. The portion of each Donation payable to and retained by our third party payment processors are:

        • US Users ONLY: Third party payment processor charges a fee of 2.9% AND $0.30 per donation for VISA, MasterCard or Discover cards or 3.4% AND $0.30 per donation for American Express cards.

All Tribute Pay Fees and Processing Fees ("Fees") are deducted directly from each Donation and are not reflected in the amount which Campaign Organizers can withdraw from the Campaign. We reserve the right to change any of the Fees from time to time. If we change any of the Fees, we will provide notice of the change on the Website or otherwise, at our option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the change in any of the Fees becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

Indemnification: You agree to release, indemnify and hold Company and its affiliates and their owners, officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, causes of action, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Donation or Campaign, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR". To the extent you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine

DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION (READ CAREFULLY): You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and Company (including our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Company should be sent to 2501 Parmenter Street, Suite 300A, Middleton, WI 53562, Attn: President, with a copy by email to support@tributepayments.com ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Terms and Conditions, and will be administered by the AAA.

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Company agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

However, it does not apply to entities that Company does not own or control, including without limitation, Campaign, advertisers or developers of content. Company may include third-party links on the Site. These third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies and NOT this Policy.

Please check the privacy policy of any third-party site you interact with on or off the Site.

2. General Policy Provisions

  1. Definitions

    “Personal Information” includes both “Personally Identifiable Information” and “Non-Personally Identifiable Information”.

    "Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information is requested when you register with us, make a Donation, correspond with us, or otherwise volunteer information, for instance, through the use of "Contact Us". Personally Identifiable Information may include, without limitation, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and other identification and contact information.

    "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We gather certain information about you based upon what you view on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (‘Web”). An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop

    “Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or that concerns an individual’s health.

  2. Notice

    Company shall inform you of the purposes for which it collects and uses Personal Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Company discloses or may disclose that information. Company shall provide you with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of your Personal Information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide Personal Information to Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter. In any event, you will receive notice before Company uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

  3. Choice

    Company will offer you the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether Personal Information is to be disclosed to a third party or to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. For Sensitive Personal Information (when applicable), Company will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. Company will treat Sensitive Personal Information it receives from anyone the same as it would treat its own Sensitive Personal Information.

  4. Security

    Company shall take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No company is immune from Internet attacks or data breaches. Company cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the Internet.

  5. Data Integrity

    Company shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or has been authorized.

Company will not tell the advertiser who you are as part of this process. When you interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that you may receive a cookie from the advertiser.

7. How Company Shares Your Information

Company shares your Personal Information with third parties when it believes you have permitted such sharing, that it is reasonably necessary to offer services, or when legally required to do so. Company will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties in a way that it thinks violates your privacy. The following non-exhaustive list contains examples of how Company shares or could share your information:

  1. If Site allows you to invite a friend to join the Site or become a User, and you choose to do so, the invitation will contain information that will allow your friend to identify you. The invitation may contain information about other Users your friend might know.

  2. Certain information you provide to Company may be shared by using the Site’s search function. This allows other Users to locate your profile and it allows new Users to find people they know on the Site.

  3. Company provides some public information to search engines. This information allows search engines to locate the Site. It also allows people to locate you on the Site using a major search engine. This does not mean all information you post on the Site may be accessed using a search engine.

  4. There are also times when Company may make certain Personal Information about you available to strategic partners or third parties. These companies may help Company process information, render services to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in products and services, or conduct research or satisfaction surveys. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to use Company's Site and services.

  5. Company may also share Personal Information when it has a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect itself and you from people violating the Terms and Conditions of the Site. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, and courts or other government entities.

  6. Company may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if it has a good faith belief that the law requires such a response. This may include requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States if Company has a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, is applicable to users from that jurisdiction, and is consistent with generally accepted international standards.

  7. Company may disclose analyzed data in the form of purchasing trends or statistical data. No Personally Identifiable Information will be attached to this disclosure.

8. Business or Asset Transfer or Sale

Company may be sold, sell or buy businesses or assets of businesses, or merge with another business. In such transactions, Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Company, a line of business of Company, or substantially all the assets of Company are transferred, Personal Information may well be one of the transferred assets. Company will make a reasonable effort to provide notice on the Site, and to notify you via e-mail to the most recent e-mail address that you have provided of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

  1. Privacy of Children

    YOU MUST BE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER TO ACCESS THE SITE OR USE ITS SERVICES. IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS ANY OF COMPANY’S SERVICES FOR ANY REASON. DUE TO THE AGE RESTRICTIONS FOR USE OF COMPANY’S SITE AND SERVICES, NO INFORMATION OBTAINED BY COMPANY FALLS WITHIN THE CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT OF 1998 AND IS NOT MONITORED AS DOING SO.

    Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to Company. Company does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the Personal Information of someone over the age of 13, and will be treated as such by this Policy.

It is Company’s policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws.

To the Rosen Family: We are so sorry for the passing of Morris. He was such a giant personality. I first met Morris when he joined a small group of immigrants who played cards together. Many times they gathered at the home of my parents, Emmanuel and Emily Velelli, who were from Greece. Morris was one of the few Ashkenazim in the group. He used to love the Greek foods my mother served! I also met him again as a speaker when he came to talk to students about his experiences during the Holocaust. He connected so beautifully with the young people. We were so fortunate to have him in our community and to hear his life story. May his memory be for a blessing.

An extraordinary individual, humble yet proud of his life's accomplishments, Morris Rosen possessed a host of qualities that now leave a most indelible and lasting mark on all who knew him. I, too, had the privilege of inviting Morris to meet with my students, when my Krieger Schechter 8th graders studied about the Holocaust. I remember my amazement at Morris' broad command of details relating both to the history and to his own personal stamp collection. Over the year, as has been so beautifully expressed by Morris' fans, his gentlemanly manner and warmth endeared him to all and his enthusiasm to update you on his projects drew you into his world. His dedication to serving the USHMM as a most knowledgeable volunteer with his incredible command of many foreign languages benefited the Museum greatly. When my Israeli cousin visited to carry out research at the USHMM, I knew I had to introduce her to Morris and indeed he welcomed us and gave us a "tour" of his collection. He was most proud of a reward he received in the presence of former President Obama, and rightly so. May Morris' memory be a blessing to all his family and friends and to Am Israel.

To Jacob,

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I’ve probably known him for close to forty years. He was always kind and friendly. I know he was very proud of you
Jake. I know all about his achievements.
You were very fortunate to have a Father, who was also a hero! He always moved forward with a smile on his face.

May his Neshama have an ALIYAH

My deepest sympathies to Mr. Rosen's family. I just heard about his passing and am a bit speechless right now, though there is so much I could say about the depths and heights of his Spirit's beauty, humanity, kindness, and joy. He was truly full of Sacred Light and he shared it with the world so generously and enthusiastically. I've only known Mr. Morris, as I like to call him, since 2008, when I met him at Goucher College, thanks to its Oral Histories of Holocaust Survivors course. We've kept in touch over the years and even got together on a few occasions. I remember all those meetings with him so vividly. His presence was always so strong, encompassing, and inspiring. I will always cherish those memories and think of Mr. Morris with so much admiration and love, as well as gratitude to Life for gifting me the pleasure of sharing time and space with him in this lifetime.

My deepest sympathy to Jesse and Jacob. Morris and Joseph were insurance clients of my father and me for many years, and they later became valued friends. In later years, before we left Baltimore, I would see Morris at Lifebridge, and it was always a pleasure. He was so much more than a survivor; he was a nice man and a true mensch. May he rest in peace and his memory always be a blessing.

My heartfelt condolences to the Rosen family. I got to know Morris when I was a regular at the Beth Jacob minyan to say Kaddish for my parents who were both Holocaust survivors. Morris was such a wonderful, kind man and to hear him daven with the same Polish accent as my father was special. Knowing and talking to Morris was like having a part of my parents still alive and I am heartbroken that now he is gone too. I will never forget him.

First of all, I am blown away by all the wonderful testimonials I just read about "Mr. Rosen." I thought I recognized his picture on the Levinson website, but I hadn't seen him in many many years, although I may have seen him at LifeBridge and not recognized him. I sure wish I had. My memories of him go way back to when I was a child and he painted my parents' house (I.D. and Mickey Shapiro) on North Charles St. He was the first person I ever saw with a tattoo on his arm, and I remember asking him what it was for. I remember him as being so kind and always welcome in our house, as more than just a painter. I surely wish I had known him in later years, but I want to share my memories with his family because I know what a kind man he was and how much his family must be missing him.

We’ve known Morris and his brother Joe for over ½ century. My parents were good friends of theirs. In fact, Morris lived in the same shtetl as my mother, Bluma, and shared memories of their time together back in the ‘old country’.
He was quite the remarkable person! His knowledge of details about the Holocaust was incredible. Quite the Renaissance man; Stamps, Olympics, Religion, you name it. My wife would see him at the Lifebridge gym and they would talk.
As everyone has said he always had a wonderful attitude. The world has lost a real mentsch. There are now precious few survivors of the Holocaust who can relate what happened back then.

To know Morris, listen to Morris and learn from Morris is to love Morris. He was quite an inspiration in so many ways: how he read Torah and led us in our prayers, how he loved to educate young and old alike using his Holocaust memorabilia and stamp collection, how he exercised well into his 90's and how he loved to share his stories and experiences. Morris always made you feel special and always made you feel like he was so pleased to see you. He was a gift to our people and to the many people whose lives were touched by him. His legacy will live on for generations to come. Thank you, Morris, for enlightening and enhancing our lives.

It's fitting that it's Hanukkah right now as we remember Morris. He had a way of lighting up a space and the hearts within it. My dad and I saw him every Friday at Beth Jacob while we were saying Kaddish for my mom. Morris always greeted me with a bear hug (he was seriously strong!) and a twinkle in his eye. He did so much to brighten up what was such a sad time in my life. Hearing his stories, seeing his collections, and just being in his presence demonstrated for me the value of squeezing every bit of joy out of life. Goodbye Morris, I'll always remember you.

Morris told me of the many many times he would be asked to speak of his experiences. He never turned anyone down who asked him to speak. I asked him how hard it was to prepare to speak as much as 4 times a week. He said” I don’t prepare, I get someone to ask me a question snd I speak for about an hour and fifteen minutes. What a remarkable mind snd a more remarkable man. In the dictionary under the word humility is a photo of Morris Rosen. Your heart will live in my heart.

My sincerest condolences to the Rosen family. From 1973 to 1995, "Mr. Rosen" and his brother painted the inside and outside of our home on St. Albans Way. In particular, Morris Rosen's aesthetic eye and aptitude for detail were impeccable. My late husband was a stamp collector, as was Mr. Rosen who purchased only the best specimens and displayed his priceless collection at the highest caliber shows. Of course his work for the Holocaust Museum was of the greatest importance. Although I rarely saw him in his later years, I will cherish his memory.

I always marveled at how often he was there and loved seeing how outgoing and friendly he was. He was a regular and beloved part of the gym community. I was shocked to see how old he was, I never would have guessed 98. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that his memory and his example of how to live life will stay alive within you forever.

After so many have written heartfelt remembrances of Morris Rosen, what is there left to say? Much. There cannot be enough said in honor and love for this remarkable tower of strength, good humor, concern for everyone he encountered, fine artist and collector, and hugger of the world. Morris Rosen literally loved everyone, and therefore everyone couldn't help but love him. Like so many others, I first met him when he and brother Joe (another delightful, friendly man) came to paint my newly, greatly enlarged home. (Note to someone below: I did have my kitchen painted buttercup yellow and still have it 53 years later! Morris' paint never wore out! Much of my house still bears his meticulous artwork in color!) He told me early on that he had been a painter, an artist in Poland and that this career was forbidden to him by the Nazis. For an accomplished artist to need to earn his living as a house painter could have broken a lesser person's spirit, but not this one. He simply used the best pigments, the best paints, and his own artistic talents to create in a new way, always with that famous smile and frightening stories that broke my heart to hear. Indeed, Beth Tfiloh will never be the same without this dear, humble man, one of my three "shul huggers" who brightened any day: Rabbi Wohlberg, Senator Ben Cardin, and Morris Rosen.
A giant has lived, reminding the world of the good, and bearing witness that no one ever will destroy the Jewish people.

A bright light in the sometimes darkness of humanity has been extinguished. I had the long time pleasure of knowing Morris as the man who lived next door to my grandmother, Rose Pollack, on Ludgate Road. He was not just the guy who painted her house, but he, along with Miriam, was the one our family always knew was there in case she needed anything. It was only as I got older that I learned
about Morris Rosen holocaust survivor. We would run into each other every few years, and he never failed to remind me of how proud our grandmother was of all her grandchildren. Never about him, always about her. I marveled about his strength, energy, and the desire to pass on to future generations the lessons of the past that need to never be repeated.
Although his light may no longer shine, the ideals of a good soul, a good man, and a good life, will shine forever.

Dear Rosen Family,
I go back decades with dear Morris Rosen. My grandparents helped to put Morris and his brother Joe in business. For many years our homes were beautified by these talented brothers, and then by Morris alone, after the untimely passing of Joe. My husband and I were fortunate to have been invited to the tenth anniversary gala for the Holocaust Museum in Washington. Morris went with us and there introduced us to his dear friend Elie Wiesel, what a Kodak moment. I will always remember Morris for his smile, his kindness, his intelligence, but most of all for his zest of life. The world has lost a real treasure. Morris, if anyone deserves to Rest In Peace,it is you my dear friend......

To all that knew him, respected him and loved him, in addition to his family, we were fortunate to have that privilege. To share the stories about how he and Joe survived the greatest tragedy that they faced and were not bitter is the story of a truly remarkable individual. To make a post concentration life success in business as well as developing the friendships, admiration, and love from so many is the mark of a remarkable man. Morris and Joe painted my parents' home at Hopeton and Pinkney in 1948.I enjoyed his stories about his stamp collection, and how it contained every Winter and Summer Olympic game which he proudly displayed at every game as the guest of the Olympic Committee, and he became an international stamp judge. His stories of his work as an archivist at the Holacaust Memorial in D. C. was his last great passion. His collection of memorabilia which he donated to the Museum was vast. It was an extreme pleasure to sit next to him in the Beth Tfiloh Chapel and also work with him as part of the Fri. Kitchen Crew.

I am SO sad as he was such a dear and a very special friend. I knew Morris since 1974. What a wonderful person he was and I was so lucky to have shared going to Washington DC twice with him on the train and seeing what a big wig he was with all of the politicians and members of Washington and Holocaust remembrance people, donors and members. Everyone knew him, Senators, Congress members, other Holocaust survivors, Washington D.C. Congress staff, and all those associated with the Holocaust museum. Everyone effusively expressed their gratitude and love for him. He was a giant among all of them even as small in stature as he was. Fortunately, I have hundreds of photographs of our trips, reminding me of how special he was. I even went with him when he gave a speech to the students at Beth Tfiloh, speeches which he gave thousands of times to all kinds of schools Jewish and non-Jewish. He so much enjoyed sharing his collections of memorabilia adding stories while pointing out the items he possessed. He was so proud of his azalea bushes near the door to his home. I will never stop smiling thinking about him over many years when we did Zumba aerobics classes together at LifeBridge Health. Everyone in the class and especially the instructors were amazed by his energy and stamina. He would go there four or five times a week. I met him when he painted my first house on Round Hollow Road in early 1974 and he was instrumental in the sale of my Rockland home. He wouldn't allow me to paint one room yellow because he said every time he ever painted a room yellow the people hated it and he had to come back and repaint. I still have the calendar from the associated that has him on the front cover where he said, "When I'm gone, my stories will remain. The Museum will tell them." So too will I. I miss you already Morris.

I knew Morris mostly from the morning minyan at Beth Jacob. Such a wonderful and energetic man, always with a smile and always with an agenda of things to do. With his passing a piece of history passes away, and we must keep that alive always. One of my great memories was seeing Morris with President Obama at a Holocaust memorial event, Morris being selected to lead Mourner's Kaddish. A person who may have been physically small, but actually a man with enormous stature, bigger than most anyone I've ever known. A tremendous loss to his family and to all who knew him.

The announcement of Morris's passing is received with great sadness. He became my friend as we talked of the holocaust and our commonality of losses. He was a treasure ! filled with data and information. He gave me solace throught the years of my parents passing. He greeted me each morning after schacharit and joined me for coffee. he helped me to start the day and work through the sorrow. A man who was an expert at sorrow yet could uplift all with his mere smile. I was fortunate to have him join us for shabbat on occasion. everyone was mesmerized by his pictures and stories. This time of Covid seprated us and for this I mourn the lost days without his courage to uplift.. His sons are so fortunate to have had such a loving father. I can attest to his pride in his 2 boys. My deepest condolences to the Rosen family. May you be comforted with knowing his memory is for a blessing .

Morris was an inspiration to all of us, especially when he led the davening. He was an extra special man, and I had the honor of being one of his "dear friends."
I was truly honored to stand with him on the bemah at Beth Tfiloh when he held the Holocaust Torah.

Dear Rosen Family and all who knew Morris,
It is obvious from these many sincere and loving condolence messages that Morris was beloved by all of us who knew him. He was a gentleman of so many talents and virtues as have been described here. We came to know Morris fifty years ago when he painted our new home and it was obvious to us that we would continue our friendship. Since Herta was a holocaust survivor, as he was, we had that special understanding. In joining him at speaking engagements and trying to keep up with him, he became a respected roll model for me. When we traveled to the U.S.Holocaust museum together, I had to practically run to keep up with his fast pace. Everything that has been said about him in these beautiful, loving condolence messages are absolutely on the mark and not even slightly exaggerated. The world has been greatly enhanced by Morris Rosen having lived his life as he has. He will be sincerely missed by so many of us.

In my capacity as Coordinator of External Holocaust programs at The John Carroll School, I was blessed to interact with Morris for many years. As others have said, his enthusiasm for life and his compelling story influenced every student and adult with whom he came in contact when he visited our school. He would step off the bus and immediately greet his student guides with his wonderful smile and then by the end of the day they would be crying as they told him good-bye. JC is so very grateful that he shared his wisdom with us because he changed lives and for that we will always be grateful. LBG

What follows is an excerpt from a school newspaper article about Morris following one of his visits.

“Oh, they all line up before class to give me kiss,” 94-year-old Morris Rosen, also known as the “Zumba King” says with a hearty laugh at his own charm. This charm and spirit Rosen exudes not only survived his many years on earth but the worst years on earth if you were a Jew in Europe during the Holocaust. When Rosen entered,…He didn’t want to sit down, he just wanted to share his story, or as much as he could. As he says before he starts, “It is difficult to condense five years into one hour.” So, he stands there, steady…reliving the most traumatic years of his life, which he claims he tells at least 50 times a year. With a surprisingly loud, bold voice, Rosen tells of his life in a ghetto in Poland…“You were not free at all.” Then, he tells of how German officers came and selected people to be deported – all people over the age of 40, women, and children, were all sent to the right including Rosen’s parents and his 12-year-old sister. Rosen however, was sent to the left meaning he got to stay in the ghetto…later with a resigned sigh, (he says) that after the war, he didn’t want to go back to Poland. “I didn’t speak Polish for over 70 years,” he says…later when he arrived at another camp he says, “they beat the hell out of us,”…Rosen then jumps to his evacuation from the camp to Russia, a journey that led to the loss of 800 people. (after recounting other aspects of his story) Rosen, with the same spirit he still exhibits, stated his determination to survive. “I’m going to live.”…he has not forgotten what has happened to him or what he has been through. He uses days like Holocaust Remembrance Day to tell his story. He willingly relives the pain in order to share his message. “You can see what hate can bring. Be friendly to each other,” he says at the end of the hour, with a humble smile and a standing ovation.

Condolences go out to Jesse, Jacob & the entire Rosen family.Your dad & grandfather was a kind, sincere, honest and true Jew in every sense of the word. He overcame many obstacles in his lifetime. The most important one was the Holocaust, during WWII. Upwards of Six Million Jews-- Men, Women , & children were sadly exterminated by a ruthless dictator and complacent government, in Germany. Luckily, Morris & several family members were able to escape, with selfless help by parents, family & friends...Many were non-Jews that helped hide & smuggle many adults & children out of the various countries that were controlled by a ruthless dictator & a complacent government, that of Germany.Morris , his brother & others came to the U.S A. escaping the persecution of out peoples.This has been going on since the Biblical days, when Judah Macabee became triumphant in saving our fellow Jews. We , as Jews continue to be used as "scapegoats" whenever there is civil unrest lurking in the shadows of failed governments throughout the World. Morris was instrumental in helping build the "National Holocaust Museum" in Washington D.C., "Yad Vashem" in Jerusalem (I have visited both), & others around the World. They tell the true story of the systematic destruction of Jews & non-Jews, during WWII. Morris made sure ti get the message out to everyone. Jesse, I have been friends with you & your parents since elementary school days at Summit Park. Morris was blessed to have had a wonderful wife & family. I cherish the childhood memories playing at your house. Morris & his brother painted all the houses in Greengate !! I also enjoyed stopping by & chatting with you & your dad in recent years....The Jewish motto-- "We shall never forget" applies ti the holocaust, as well as friendships. Morris passed away on Shabbos , as well as Chanukkah.This is a double blessing of his great soul !May you all cherish your dad & grandfather's legacy! May Hashem bless his soul. Baruch Hashem !!

Our community and our world has lost a Tzadik. A man devoted to his family, his community, his shul and his friends. From Beth Jacob to Beth Tfiloh; His stories; his life; It was simply a joy to listen to his life experiences. Each Shabbos he greeted me with a hug, a kiss on the cheek, a firm handshake and a "hello my good friend". Morris was that way with everyone he came into contact with. On Friday he could be found in the chapel davening. With Morris davening we often joked that breakfast would be 15 minutes earlier. I will miss my conversations with Morris and mostly I will his warmth, his kindness and his love for his faith and humanity.

Rest in peace.... you have earned it.

So very sorry to realize painfully, I won’t ever see him again. Morris, I believe is the last of my parents friends to leave us. Morris’s brother Joe, my fathers best friend, and also the kindest soul, left us far too early in his life.

Morris was a remarkably upbeat, always smiling and warm and genuine soul. A painful reminder of a Holocaust generation lost for our present younger and all future generations to learn directly from.

May Morris’s family and all of those blessed to have known Morris and those of his generation, always remember these heroes of our people, and proactively instill your memories of Morris and his generation, into your future generations, as a way to perpetuate this wonderful man and all survivors legacy for our people.

Morris was such a powerful teacher about the Holocaust. His passionate advocacy made a profound difference to so many across our community. On behalf of the Baltimore Jewish Council and the council's Holocaust Remembrance Committee, we extended our deepest condolences to his family and friends. We were privileged to have worked with Morris for so many years. May his memory be for a blessing.

We are very sad to hear that Morris passed away. We have been friends for over 20 years going back to our days at Beth Jacob. Morris was a gentleman, and I always enjoyed speaking with him in synagogue, and listening to his stories. He was very active in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and enjoyed teaching groups of people about the Holocaust, and often traveled to Washington DC to speak. I recently called him to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving and found out he was not feeling well. We will miss him at Beth Tfiloh at services. Our condolences to his family; we learned a lot from Morris, and we will miss him.

What a kind wonderful man. He painted my home when I lived on Columbus Drive when I was a little girl.
Whenever I would see him we would talk for a long time.Always remembered my name and would ask me how my sister was doing I am heartbroken to see that he passed.There is not many people in this day and age like Maiche! My thoughts and prayer are with his family!

The saga of the Rosen family is one of the most poignant in Jewish history. From a family affiliated with Alexander Hasidim, his father was a leader of the community of Chestechowa, their children, precious remnants of Polish Jewry. Two brothers survived Mengele, Auschwitz, Morris, many camps. His sister married one of Israel's outstanding intellectuals. Morris himself was a baal chen, with a fine eye for art and antiques, history, stamps. He was world class in everything he did. He helped the Red Cross, the Smithsonian, many survivors, an eloquent speaker. He was genuinely a very nice guy. A loving husband and father, he loved his family in all its parts. He supported them all. Surviving as a painter, a slow, meticulous artisan, self taught, after the war he created a commercial business which was a great success. He was great. He never broke with his past, never forgave his parents for not fleeing when their children left, many of whom survived. But, he was loyal to their minhagim, cherished every Yom Tov, was a masterful cook and host, a great Jew. He possessed endearing qualities, a beautiful neshoma, a deep soul, and superior intelligence. He knew his strengths and human weakness. He experienced over a long lifespan more than most ever will. He pushed himself even when he was ill.

He remembered how many years it took for him to receive an aliyah at Beth Jacob and synagogues like it, where "greener" weren't treated so well after the War. Yet, he was loyal and went to Shul not for the Kiddish or the Choir, the Rabbi or the Cantor, he went for his parents and the Yiddishkeit they cherished, which he was happy to see his sons and daughter in law nobly pass on. He was fiercely independent, but without the ones he loved most, who loved him, he couldn't have lived so fully. To them, we are grateful for sharing his sweet, special influence with us which will never be forgotten by everyone he interacted with. My wife Debbie and I especially appreciated the relationship he shared with her parents, both survivors of the Holocaust. He was always kind.

Multilingual, multitalented, he was one of a kind. May his memory forever be a source of blessing, a luminous example for all mankind.

Morris was an absolutely beautiful person.
He was so proud of his family and loved them dearly.
He had friends everywhere, Shul friends, Lifebridge friends, Olympic friends, stamp friends, friends from the museum, friends from the places he spoke. When he spoke of his time during the Holocaust, he was able to capture his audience like none other. He had to bear witness for those who died and he truly honored their memory with his compelling speeches.
I’m grateful for the dear friendship we shared.
I miss him already.

I met Morris at Beth Tfiloh before one of his many adventures--to one of his many trips to the Olympics. He had a smile and a story for every season. I enjoyed meeting him every Shabbos and we often had kiddush together. His memory will always be a blessing.

My memories of Morris, aka MoRo, will last forever. Among many, I am honored to have met him and called him my friend for decades. We met at the gym and our friendship continued, thanks to Beth Tfiloh.
He was 1 in a million, and I will miss him. Especially in Zumba class. RIP, MoRo.

So sorry for your loss. He was a great man, when he was still coming to services every morning he would stop in the Congregation office and schmooze with us! He was just so happy to be there. May he rest in peace he deserves it.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Rosen Family. I am so deeply saddened. I feared for this day, and yet Morris's strength, wisdom, wonderful sense of humor, and his positive attitude made us feel like he would live on forever. It was such a pleasure to welcome him into our Sanctuary every Shabbat. You could count on a great hand-shake and a hug. His warmth filled the whole room, and he would say "I have so many friends here!" Listening to him daven and trying to keep up with him were wonderful challenges, and he would always ask if we thought he was too fast. My answer to him was "There's no such thing as too fast!" It has been a while since we enjoyed Friday morning breakfasts with Morris after morning services, but listening to his stories and historical recalls were spell binding. And so was his total recall. He knew every street in every European city, remembered people from decades past, but best of all was his enthusiasm in sharing his memories with us. Not only will he be missed, but Beth Tfiloh just won't be the same without him. Again, my heartfelt sympathy. We have lost an icon in history. May our memories of him be a source of strength and a blessing to all of us.

Sending our deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Morris, his family most of all. From Beth Jacob days to our times together at Beth Tfiloh, Morris was always a joy to be around. His stories, his smiles, his hugs and Shabbat/YomTov kisses, will always be in mind and will be missed. Morris was a remarkable soul and he taught us never to forget, but to always remember how to go on. May his memory be for a blessing and may it bring us all comfort. Baruch Dayan HaEmet.

We really enjoyed seeing him and talking with him. We loved hearing about his garden and his cooking. He was truly a remarkable man and the world is a sadder place because of his passing.

Never forget his perseverance, positivity and the profound influence he dispersed. May his memory be for a blessing.
