In Memoriam Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine

It is with profound grief that we inform you of the tragic death of Rabbi Sherwin T.Wine, founder of Humanistic Judaism, on Saturday, July 21, 2007. Rabbi Wine and Richard McMains were vacationing in Morocco. Returning from dinner Saturday evening in Essaouira, their taxicab was hit by another driver. Both Rabbi Wine and the taxi driver were killed instantly. Richard survived the collision and was hospitalized in stable condition.

Zekher tsadik livrakha - the memory of a good person is a blessing.
