Rabbi Leo Dee

In honor of Lucy, Maia, and Rina Z’L

During the Passover vacation, Rabbi Leo Dee was with three children in one car, while his wife Lucy and two daughters, Maia and Rina were in the other car. He decided to take a different route that would change his life forever. Terrorists brutally murdered all three in the other car and Rabbi Dee continues to give life and hope to so many in their honor. Meet this legend among us.
