Listen to hespedim for
Rabbi Steven M. Dworken (provided by YU/RIETS).
The
Orthodox Union and its constituent synagogues are deeply
saddened by the sudden and tragic passing of Rabbi Steven
M. Dworken, Executive Vice
President of the Rabbinical Council of America. His commitment
to the cause of Torah leaves an indelible mark on the heart and
soul of the American rabbinate. We will sorely miss his staunch
friendship and personal warmth. We extend condolences to his
widow, Dr. Susan Dworken, to his family, and to the membership
of the R.C.A., to whom he provided exemplary leadership. May
they be comforted together with all who mourn Zion and
Jerusalem. For Shiva
information, please visit the
RCA website or call the
Department of Community and Synagogue Services of the OU at
