Mr. Sheldon Lisbon, a longtime beloved teacher who lived in Bal Harbor, FL, passed away on Thursday.
He was 74.
Born in a DP camp in Germany after the Holocaust, he immigrated with his parents to Worcester, Massachusetts. He studied at Yeshivas Achei Temimim under the guidance of Rabbi Hershel Fogelman.
Mr. Lisbon was a devoted teacher for over 50 years, starting in the Washington, DC public school system and more recently in Miami at Bais Yaakov and in LEC. His love for his students and true care for each one changed the lives of many for the better. He will surely be missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife Miriam Lisbon, son Dennis Lisbon and his family, and his daughter Julie Schreiber and her family.
He is also survived by his brothers Rabbi Binyamin Lisbon and Rabbi Elchonon Lisbon and sister Mrs. Ruchama Thaler.
The family is sitting Shiva until Friday in Miami and in Baltimore.

mr. lisbon was such a great teacher, NEVER letting a class pass by without a couple of jokes no matter what mood he was in, always trying to make the modd happy and light.
he would show us pictures of his children and grandchildren, and tell us how proud of them he was.
numerous times we heard stories of his experiences from his childhood.
mr.lisbon was always telling us how important it was to be a mentch and have good middos.
we will all miss him dearly
may his neshama have an aliyah!
Sheldon will be sorely missed. A real mentch.
We worked together at LEC for many years, and shared an incredible summer of learning at Yad Vashem, along with Mrs. Capurso, and my daughter. I was shocked to hear of the loss of such a wonderful person, and know he will be missed by everyone who knew him. May his family be comforted, and may his neshomo have an aliya, until we are together again with Moshiach!
Mr. Lisbon was my son’s favorite teacher at LEC. He looked forward to his classes. May his family be comforted.

Mr. Lisbon was one of my favorite teachers in Klurman Mesivta.

HIS NESHAMA SHOULD HAVE A HUGE ALIYAH.
