Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be noted by indicating the date these Terms and Conditions were last made. Any changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted; provided, however, that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your use or continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective shall constitute your express acceptance of the Terms and Conditions as changed, amended or modified.

Eligibility: Users under 18 years of age are not eligible to use the Services without consent. Users between the ages of 13 and 17, can use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age; provided, however, that such parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and agrees to be responsible for such use of the Services. 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.

        • CA 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

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

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. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Terms and Conditions. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of the arbitration provision. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Chicago, Illinois. 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.

Please read this Privacy Policy ("Policy") carefully to understand how we will use and protect your Personal Information. We will not share your Personal Information with anyone except as described in this Policy. Changes to this Policy will be announced on our Site, so please check back periodically. This Policy forms part of the Company’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS and is incorporated by reference to those Terms and Conditions.

This Policy outlines Company’s general policies and practices for protecting your private information on this Site. It covers why Company collects information, the types of information it gathers, how it uses such information, and the notice and choice affected individuals have regarding Company’s use of and their ability to correct their information. This Policy applies to all personal information received by Company whether in electronic, written, or verbal format.

Company reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time and will do so from time to time. Each modification shall be effective upon its posting to the Site. Your continued use of the Site following any such modification constitutes your acceptance of any change(s) to this Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Policy regularly. If you have any questions concerning this Policy please contact Company at support@frontrunner360.com.

1. Scope

This Policy covers the Site in part and as a whole. 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. Company therefore has no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these third-party sites. 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. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information is accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use.

  6. How to Access Your Information

    Company offers you choices for the collection, use and sharing of Personal Information. You may notify Company of your preferences, or change any Personal Information, by emailing support@frontrunner360.com. Please be sure to provide complete account information so Company can identify you in its records.

    You may also stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Company by responding directly to any email you receive with a request to remove you from the mailing list.

3.Reasons the Company Collects Personal Information

Company collects your Personal Information because it helps deliver a superior online experience, gives you convenient access to the Site for browsing, and allows key features of the Site to function properly. In order to better provide you with this superior level of customer service, our Site collects two types of information (referred to in this policy as "Personal Information") about our visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. In addition, your Personal Information helps Company keep you informed about the latest announcements, special offers, and events that you might like to hear about.

4. Information Company Collects About You

Any time a guest or member (collectively “Users”) accesses the Site they receive a “cookie” from Company. Company uses cookies (small pieces of data stored for an extended period of time on a computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make the Site easier to use and to protect both you and Company. These cookies give Company certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your use of the Site. You may remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use the Site. Company may also use pixels, widgets and other tools to gather such Non-Personally Identifiable Information to improve the experience of the website or mobile application.

Company may contract with third-party service providers to assist it in better understanding its Site Users. These service providers are not permitted to use the Non-Personally Identifiable Information collected on Company’s behalf except to help it conduct and improve its business.

When you access the Site from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, Company may collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about the user base as a whole. Company will not use the information collected to market directly to that person.

Company keeps track of some of the actions you take on the Site such as member profiles and pages you view. Even if you do not provide certain information, Company may obtain it from you profile or the pages of its Site that you visit. Company may retain the details of connections or transactions you make on the Site.

5. Information You Provide to Company

To become a User, Company shall collect certain Personally Identifiable Information, which you are required to provide. Information that is not required shall be deemed voluntary and you may provide such information, although not mandatory.

Frequently, Content you place on the Site will contain a picture of your face. Company may retain the details of connections or transactions you make on the Site.

Where applicable, when you interact with other Users on the Site, you may provide other information about yourself, such as political or topical views, religious affiliation, or marital status. Any information in a public forum is accessible by anyone, including people who are not members of the Site. Please be aware they may share information you give them with other Users you may not know. They may also share the information outside the Site without your prior approval. Company does not have control over the actions of its Users and accepts no responsibility or liability for their actions. Please keep this fact in mind when using the Site, and use care when disclosing Personal Information to other Users of the Site.

Company may also collect information from ads you click on when using the Site. Company may also keep track of links you click on in e-mails you receive from Company. This is done to increase the relevancy of the ads you see.

6. How Company Uses Your Personal Information

Company uses the information you are required to provide to become a User in order to insure you are over the age of thirteen (13). THE SITE IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED BY ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF THIRTEEN (13). If you are under thirteen, please do not attempt to register with the Site or send Company any Personal Information. Company may also use your age information to be sure you receive an age appropriate experience while using the Site.

Company will use the information it collects to provide, without limitation, services and features to you and facilitate payment for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors and provide information to Campaign Organizers and Campaign beneficiaries. Company will also use the information to measure and improve the Site, and to provide you with customer support.

Company may contact you with new or updated products or services, designs, routes, surveys, or other related announcements from time to time. You may opt-out of all communications except essential updates. Company may include Content in the e-mails sent to you.

Certain software applications and applets transmit data to Company. Company may not make a formal disclosure if it believes its collection of and use of the information is the obvious purpose of the Site or its related application. If it is not obvious that Company is collecting or using such information, it will disclose its collection to you the first time you provide the information.

Company may use the information collected to prevent potential illegal activities. Company may also use a variety of methods to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse.

Company may use your information to serve you personalized advertising. Company does not share your information with advertisers without your consent. Company allows advertisers to choose the characteristics of Users who will see their advertisements. Company may use any of the Non-Personally Identifiable Information it has collected in any fashion to select the appropriate audience. 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.

9. Miscellaneous

  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. If a child under 13 submits Personal Information and Company learns that Personal Information pertains to a child under 13, it will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. It is Company’s policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws. Therefore, Company restricts the Site and all other provided services to persons 18 years or older.

  2. Agreement with Policy and Continued Use of Site

    Unless stated otherwise, Company’s current Policy applies to all information that Company has about you, your account, and access to the Site. By using the Site, you consent to this Policy and having your Personal Information and data transferred and processed as described.

Rabbi Dr. Norman H. Strickman

Posted at 06:13am
The Rabbis tell us that at the time of a person's passing, he is accompanied by the Torah that he studied and the good deeds that he did.

Dr. Robert I. Levy leaves behind a life devoted to Torah and good deeds. He was a kind, compassionate, loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was an exceptional person. He was devoted to Judaism, science, medicine, and his fellow human beings. He was a physician who deeply cared for his patients. He loved music and played the piano. He authored a five-volume work on medicine history and culture. He regularly attended concerts at Beth Tefillah Congregation and enjoyed the recordings of great past hazanim. Dr Levy appreciated active engagement and spirited interaction with the work and interpretations of the classical musicians. Dr. Levy was aware of the influence of Jewish music on Classical composers, the repertoire, and movements. He shared a love with his son David for Baroque Jewish synagogue music. Dr. Levy served on the Saratoga during the Second World War. He was good-humored and a man for all seasons. It was a pleasure to be in his Company. He gave his children a Jewish education and supported institutions of Jewish learning. He supported the State of Israel and was a loyal Jew. Dr Levy exemplified good business ethics and did much pro bonum work. Dr. Levy was a highly praised graduate of the Johns Hopkins Medical School and his intellect bore fruits of academic excellence into retirement. He was involved in Medical Humanities seminars at Hopkins run by Drs. Richard Macksey and Hungarian surgeon Geroge Uvrehei. He engaged in lifelong learning of Jewish, scientific, and humanistic courses while a busy physician and in retirement. Dr Levy was the quintessential ideal physician devoted to serving the needs of patients to enhance longevity, and quality of life, not to harm, and alleviate pain. For Dr. Robert I Levy serving patients was a calling and not merely a professional job, and that meant being on call 24/6 and frequently being called out at 3 am. in the morning to save lives, and making house calls.

May his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life. Amen

Sincerely,

Rabbi Dr. H. Norman Strickman

i met my cousin at a family gathering. He was very humble and unassuming. Just a beautiful simple pure soul. Reading his books told me a little about the giant that he was. There was so much that he gave and could have given much more. May his memory be a blessing to all.

I had the great privilege to meet the late Dr. Robert Levy, OBM, once, at a family Simcha. We briefly discussed our mutual high regard for Rachmaninov's music, particularly the Second Piano Concerto. Dr. Levy was a super-mensch, a man of great dignity, culture, refined manner, wide-ranging knowledge, and a love of Judaism and Chochmo (Wisdom). His love for classical music was clearly an expression of his highly refined, pure soul. Thankfully, his son, Dr. David Levy, shares many of these traits. But the loss of Dr. Robert Levy, OBM, is one that can never be replaced. May his soul reside eternally in Eden, and may his memory be for a blessing.

I only met Dr. Levy a few times in Maryland accompanied by his son, David. What a love of father to son & respect for our religion.
All of this stems from parents teaching their children. To his credit, it is clearly one of many of his greatest accomplishments to his children, generation after generation.

The book, Music and Medicine, by Dr Levy MD is the highest expression of Culture/Bildung/Tarbut/Padeai/Kultur devotedly relayed with great love for music and cherishing and revering the artistic spirit. The book demonstrates a culture of redemption whereby science is informed and enhanced by appreciation for the arts. The book manifests how the etymology of the french word " la culture" derives from the latin term "colere" connotating "to take care of, grow, cultivate, nurture, and safegaurd" all essential traits of a good physician. The book joins bench mark studies on classical muscians by Jonathan Nobel [also a physican] and in the kindred spirit of the seminars run at Johns Hopkins medical school by Drs. Richard Macksey and surgeon George Uvrehey in the Medical Humanites. Dr Levy has written an interdisciplinary work in the history of medicine, narrative medicine, music, art, aesthetics, philosophy, neuroaesthetics, anthropology, musicology, and cultural studies relaying not only on secondary books but archival documents (box, folder, ms. #) such as the diaries, musical scores, unpublished medical notes, letters etc of: Bach and Handel, Mozart, Brahms, and H.L. Mencken etc. The book is an example of Nietzsche's understanding of the necessity of the Apolonarian harmony of science with music, a science informed by the Muses of the fine arts. The book shows the mutual influence of how humanistic inquiry and historical study are informed and benefitted by knowledge of science in the interplay (pun intended) of music and medicine. The book illustrates how the Humanities are relevant to medicine making one more sensitive to the needs of others, and advocates by example of a well rounded broadly educated Renaissance physician devoted to the pursuit of wisdom-understanding-knowledge who incorporates the whole gamut of the arts into the medical "arts". The book is a shining paradigm of how the Humanities are relevant to medicine and how an appreciation of the Humanities can enrich and deepen knowledge of the history of medicine and allied sciences. The book not only helps us better recognize the humanistic and cultural dimension of the history of medicine, but fosters a wider historical context of medicine elucidated by the medical Humanities. Such mutual symbiosis of science and music is expressed in the statement of Pythagoras, "there is geometry in the humming of strings, there is music, in the spacing of the heavenly spheres" and the conundrum of Victor Hugo, "Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." Like Einstein, who stated, "I know that the most joy in my life has come to me from (my violin) and music" Dr. Levy understands along with Henry Longfellow, that "music is the universal language of humanity" and that music is the most spiritual expression of the soul and the mouskie is always and activity of the spirit with an important social and educational role in the well rounded human being. The fact that Dr. Levy studied the sheet music and musical scores before ever going to a performance and educated himself on the background of relationship between literature and music, before attending any concert or symphony, understands music as a participatory event with specific ethical influencing formation of virtues (Arete/middot tovot) which as Plato states by noting the music modes (lydian, Frigeon, Dorian, Mxyolodian) benefit character as rhythm, balance, melody, hymns, pitch, and harmony find their way into the inner places of the divine soul in expressing something "beyond". The fact that Dr. and Mrs Levy hosted countless musicals in their living room where many Peabody music conservatory professors and students gave a shpiel about the piece they were working on and then played it in a duet or trio or quartet in a social context demonstrates that music was something living and not merely a passive event but an active participortary act of play with others in a cultural context. Dr. Levy demonstrates in his book that the inspired creativity to bridge between the human realm and the Olympic- Edenic- Paradisical bliss of the divine power of music to express the depths of lament and heights of joy, musical ecstasy, and transcendent meaning and metaphysical substance.

Dr Robert I Levy (ztsl) manifested great hesed, inspired ahavas torah in lifelong learning, and imparted a great example like Aharon the Kohen who was a rodef shalom in the area of bain Adam li havero. Dr Levy’s gentle voice could be heard late at night humming a musical sing-song melody while playing the piano, that manifested great ruchanis, as if the neshama were on a merkavah journey through the 7 heavens ascending from rakiah to rakiah, (The Baal HaTurim comments Hashkifa if in gematria 500 the distance between the rakiot). Dr Levy (ztsl) always saw the good in people and gave them the benefit of the doubt (kaf zekut), always full of gemilut hasidim. Dr Levy (ztsl) habitually acted lifnei misharat ha-din, middot hasiduth. Dr Levy was very giving with his time and aitzah to his patients sometimes spending hours with them, in a most charitable manner.
Dr Levy’s piano playing revealed a great soul playing the Beethoven apassionata sonata with great gusto and leibidik spirited strength of the sublime (das erhabene, peri hupsos) while conveying in playing Beethoven’s moonlight sonata, great quietude, harmony, peacefulness (still waters run deep). When playing a beautiful Chopin mesurka, nocturne, or etude the listener felt that an elevated soul was conveying something eloquent, awesome and wondrous. When dr levy played baroque Bach or classical Mozart the mathematical pristine ratios of perfect symmetry filled the listener with a awe for the divine order in the music that reflected a divine order in nature, the harmony of the spheres, so the listener felt there is geometry in the humming of strings, there is music in the spacing of the heavenly spheres . Dr Levy’s music playing provided the keys to open the sharei shamayim, where the neshama could enter celestial chambers and be rejuvenated, refreshed, and nurtured in shalom. Dr Levy’s comments on musicology, composers, and pieces, were like precious gems that a deep sea diver (reflecting countless devoted hours of playing and studying piano lishma) brought up from the depths of the sea. Dr Levy discerned paradigms, patterns, and themes in music for instance in his giving a recital of pieces gathered around the theme of children playing such as Schubert’s Kinderszenen or Claude Debussy’s jeu d’enfants. Music was not mere entertainment for Dr. Levy who if he attended a concert would study the sheet music beforehand and follow along at the concert with the sheet music which like Beethoven could be heard in the mind’s eye while reading. When Dr. Levy played the piano the listener felt that the music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. Rhythm and harmony found their way into the inward Neshama of Dr. Levy who loved learning not only about music but from the great composers. One learned from Dr. Levy that music is a universal language of all mankind and when Dr. Levy played one could envision the music as unfrozen sublime architecture b/c Dr. Levy knew music as a musicologist from the inside as a player, and not as a spectator. In going through the sheet music Dr. Levy remembered where he gathered such sheet music for instance on his one day in port of San Francisco and not at sea on the aircraft carrier Saratoga, where he bought a piece by Rachmaninof that Dr. Levy played the morning before passing on, along with Franz Liszt’s Soirées de Vienne, and Brahm’s Hungarian Dances, and Liszt’s Hungarian raphsodies which Dr. Levy noted his maternal grandmother Linnie Eisenberg (zl) also played who was often accompanied by her brother the philanthropist Abraham Eisenberg (zl) who played the violin.
Who could not be effected by the incredible grace (chen), graciousness, and magnanimity that Dr Levy conveyed in his care, kindness, and concern for all in ahavat olam? Dr Levy was a unique one in a hundred billion sort of the "old school" that embodied the highways of perfection in bain Adam liMakom and bain Adam liHavero. Although unique in so many ways, we remember the unique strength (gevorah). This outward strength (waking up early and returning from work late) also echoed an inner strength of greatness of soul that actively learned continually as lifelong learning, sublimating great wisdom reflected in the care, respect, and kindness Dr Levy showered upon others as a great act of beneficence. Dr Levy’s (ztsl) gadlos in das Zwischenmentschle of dealing faitfully in business and the interhuman with ethical moral comport, and spiritual ruchanis in music effected an enormous kiddush Hashem.

Dr Robert I Levy (ztsl) Manifested virtues (middot tovot) of kindness, modesty, truthfulness, magnificence, magnamity, graciousness, courage, temperance, gemilut Hasidim, patience (savlanut), wittiness, being a good friend and being friendly, hospitable, discipline, splendor, authentic, genuine, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, altruistic, and mentchlikeit (in the Yiddish valence of this words substance). More than just a gentleman, but a righteous individual who habitually acted lifnei misharat ha-din, middot hasiduth. Etc. also as a musician who attained via playing music to the highest levels of aesthetic beauty and sublimity as a form of spirituality a most talented musicologist. May Dr robert I levy’s soul (neshama) be caught up in the bundle of life

My wife Noa and I were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your Father, z"l. He was an elegant gentleman of the 'old school'; his schooling and scholarship encompassed the contemporary and the historic. I vividly recall joining your dear Father z"l at a classical music concert. One could not help but feel elevated while in your Father's presence be it at a cultural event or at the coffee table.

May your Father's life be an everlasting source of fatherly memories that will always pulsate with his charm and singularity of being.

We were so sorry to hear of your father's death. We remember him very fondly from our visits to Baltimore and, one of the last times we saw him, when Miriam (age 100!) met baby Mimi for the first time and he and your mother were visiting Boston in the late 1990s. I especially enjoyed talking about classical music with him (it was a late in life discovery for me, this music), and remember the enormous enthusiasm he had for music and how his eyes would light up every time that topic would come up. He could play the Schubert piano trios! Such a great lifelong hobby and passion.

He also seemed like a wonderful father, and a caring, skilled physician.

We have donated to the concert hall on his behalf

I am truly saddened to hear of your Father’s passing and want to express my deepest sympathy. Dr. Levy was one of the most courteous, gracious, and pleasant individuals I have ever known. In the early years of the Levy relationship most of my conversations were with Ruth. That all changed in 2007 and my many conversations with your Father went well beyond wealth-management. Whether it was lunch at the Hopkins Club, a show at the Baltimore Museum of Art, a recital at the Peabody Conservatory, or an Oriole game at Camden Yards we talked about everything under the sun. Although your Dad was a humble man, he did enjoy sharing many of his life experiences. Stories about everything from Lonaconing, Maryland to the USS Saratoga were always fun. Later, after he moved to Roland Park Place, no meeting was complete without a personal piano concerto! I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with the Dr. and Ruth over the many years. Your Father was the best, truly a “Prince among Men.”

https://www.amazon.com/Music-Medicine-Studies-History-Culture-ebook/dp/B07BPWBMFX Dr levy devoted leisure time to intellectual pursuits in retirement and the over 5 volume set in the history of medicine and allied sciences are an example of this intellectual virtue in the life of the mind in quest of Hokmah, binah, ve Daat. As the Rambam notes in olam Habah where there is no eating or drinking the righteous sit with crowns on their heads basking in Ziv shekhinah where the crowns are directly proportional to the intellectual achievements gained in olam hazeh. Dr levy’s 5 volume set is a tincture of that mortician achievement. However dr levy’s virtues were not just academic but ethical and spiritual for who could not sense the spiritual heights of mogen gedolut as if one were taken on winged notes of the divine through the spiritual gates of the 7 heavens when dr levy played with ruach hakodesh the piano (Menagen al ha Santer) not just as musical therapy to cure saul of melancholy like king david did on the harp but to bring prophets into an ekstatic state of xtc! In the realm of ethics dr levy was magnanimous, patient, hesedikh, courageous, witty, friendly, graciou (Chen), charming, and practiced moderation in eating and all middot Tobit but going to the extreme in never getting angry and being extremely humble as it is said of moshe rabbenu Anav moed- a triple crown winnner in intellectual, moral, and spiritual virtue as well as in the crown of the kehunah (a Levi from sheivet Levi), the crown of scholarship, and the crown of malchut (in sefirat haomer dr levy passed on in the pleromatic emanation of hod she bemalchut = majesty and splendor after lag baomer) ztsl אָבִי אָבִי רֶכֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל וּפָרָשָׁיו
