Aron Beidner was a Holocaust survivor who merited to live to 104.

My father Aron Beidner passed away in August of 2021 of COVID-related pneumonia. He had just celebrated his 104^th birthday in July. Everyone said he was blessed with years. I had to agree. Though in my eyes and heart, he was far too young to die. I wrote the following essay and poem while he was still alive. I never felt quite ready to share these reflections until now. In light of recent events around the world and the commemoration Kristallnacht/Night of the Broken Glass, I feel they hold greater significance and a more sacred place in the world. I respectfully share them with you.

Of all the myriad of titles that my father, HaRav Yaakov ben Yitzchak Eliezer zt”l, successfully and valiantly achieved and earned in his lifetime, the ones that were most valued and cherished, and of which he was most proud, were “Dad” and “Zayde Jack.” His family always came first, above all else, and his deep love and devotion for my dear mother a”h, my sister, and me were a blessing and special gift from Hashem to us.
