In memory of our Ema, Ricky Baratz
 
We have missed your infectious laugh, Your enthusiastic hellos,
Your warm embrace, Your acceptance, tolerance and patience for all
 
We know you earned a front row seat near the “kesay hakavod” and that you are a “meilitz yosher” for us, but, frankly, we would have preferred to feel your presence just a little bit closer.
 
So much has happened in 2 decades- events that would have been enhanced had we only been lucky enough to have you around longer.
 
The years will never cloud our memories and love for you
and the sunshine that you brought to our lives.
 
The Baratz Bunch

In Memory of
Rita Baratz a"h (Ricky)
Our friend Ricky exemplified the epitome of compassion, kindness and chesed all of her life. Having Ricky as a family friend was humbling.  She was one woman always involved in so many acts of chesed, including an open door policy for OHEL children; yet always having time for warm and loving friendships. Her friendship was unconditional - always there 24/7 anytime, anywhere, always with a smile.  Twenty years later, Ricky is sorely missed by all of us who loved her.  Her legacy of total devotion to chesed has been passed on to her illustrious children:
Lisa & Phil Baratz, Tzippora & Dovid Baratz,
Ellen & Michael Baratz, Rachellie & Sammy Baratz
who continue to raise the bar in their devotion to Torah and chesed causes in their respective communities and in all Jewish causes.  We are proud and indeed honored to attend this dinner, and we pay tribute to our dear friend Ricky a'h and the entire Baratz family, as we lend our support to the wonderful work of OHEL.
