Marieka Brown wrote a sympathy message

“I am so sad to hear this news! Rabbi Laibson was my Rabbi at Temple Beth El in Las Cruces, NM. He was my teacher in Religious School and he guided me through my confirmation studies with care and compassion, always encouraging me to think about what Judaism says about caring for others. In high school, I even considered becoming a Rabbi simply because I loved working with and learning from him. My heart goes out to Ellen and his entire family. What a beautiful soul. - Marieka Brown”
