Mr. Boris (Dov Ber) Buhks, former ‘Refusenik” who lived as a proud Jew in communist Russia, passed away on Tuesday, 6 Tishrei, 5774.
He was 89.
After emigrating to Israel in 1972, Mr. Buhks relocated his family to Cholon, Israel, where he lived as an active member of the Jewish community for the last four decades.
His son, Dr. Ephraim Buhks, is the President of “Bramson Ort College of the United States,” and his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Mendelsohn, is the founder and principal of Beis Yaakov Ohel Sarah in Flatbush, a school with unique methods in educating girls of today’s generation.
He is survived by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, some of which serve as Shluchim in the United States.
The Levaya will be at 2 pm at Shomrei Hadas Chapels in Boro Park, and will then move on to Montefiore Cemetery at 3:30 pm.
Mrs. Mendelsohn will be sitting Shiva at 2306 Quentin Road, and will get up Erev Yom Kippur.
Baruch Dayan Haemes.
So sorry for your loss. May HaShem comfort you amongst the mourners of Zion.
