It is with great sorrow and pain the news of this tragic happening. Norman and Adrienne Katz were the great pillars that held up the Jewish commmunity of Palos Verdes.

They should be good Melitzer Yosheimr for their families and freinds and the whole community of Palos Verdes.HAMOKOM YINCHE ESCHEM BESHAAR AVEIDEI TZ ION VEYIRUSHAYIM

Our entire Shlichus community here on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and surrounding cities in the South Bay Area are deeply saddened by our loss! Our Chabad house has lost one of its founding members!
Adrianne was the auntie our kids don’t have growing up on Shlichus ; she was a vibrant particpant at all our Jewish woman’s classes and programs which will continue to grow
In her merit!
May the memory of Hinda Bas Tzvi Hirsch be a source of Brocha for her extended family and all of klal Yisroel
Our family is so saddened by this news.
Mr and Mrs Katz were the sweetest couple.
Our shlichus were countless times enriched, thru their Chessed and dedication to the Rebbes mandates.
As founders of our 2 Chabad centers -They were the go to couple! Our children knew Mr Katz the Kohen! And Mrs Katz….always a smile on her face…
Yehi Zichroh Boruch.
