Halleluyah
I was blessed to meet and got to know Rabbi Eliyahu on a spiritual, personal and service level. Rabbi was a no nonsense, but kind spirit. I pray Yh Yhwh is pleased with my big brothers works. I believe Rabbi Eliyahu is due a promotion in Yah’s next assignment. Yah Khai! Yah Khai! Yah Khai!
A dedicated and passionate leader. He will be sorry missed in our community. One of my favorite quotes “Expect the best and give it a rest.”. May his soul be bound in the circle of life.
May the Creator bless his memory
Mr. Williams man where do I start this was family father figure uncle friend and Scout leader. I was blessed to know the whole family and grow with them and have them in my life. The Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts called him Smokey the Bear due to the hat he would wear when we went camping. Was stern but always had this smile that let you know you can do it and also was one with Wisdom. I would stop by every once in a while and just chat with him and talk life family and politics. I will miss him but He with the Lord now 🙏

May the Eternal Power; Hashem Shel YHWH remember the soul of Elder Rabbi Eliyahu Ben Yehudah, a”h, z”l who has gone to his world, because I will — without obligating myself with a vow — donate charity for his sake. In this merit, may his soul be bound up in the bond of life with the souls of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, and with the other righteous men and women who are in Gan Eden; and let us say, Amen.
It was a pleasure meeting you and your heir, your son. I will do my best to never let your legacy die in our community and Am Yisrael. Sleep well and Rest in Power. Yah Khai יה חַי
