GOLDSTEINS' Judaism isn’t ROSENBERG'S just what we RAPHAEL-SACKS M ARCH , 2020 D EATH N OTICES DEATH NOTICES BRECHER Harold “Hal” Brecher, of Rydal Park, a retired clinical and school psychologist and accom- plished, amateur artist died February 22, 2020 at Abington Memorial Hospital at the age of 88. From 1977 until 1993, Dr. Brecher was a psychologist for the School District of Philadelphia where he used his expertise to help students struggling with behavioral, so- cial and emotional issues. Prior to working for the school district, he was a clinical psy- chologist in the Department of Pediatrics at Frankford Hospital from 1963 to 1980. He also maintained a clinical psychology prac- tice in Northeast Philadelphia from 1962 un- til retiring in 2011. He was also a consultant to the School District of Glassboro, NJ for more than 30 years and was associated with the Professional Clinical Forum until he re- tired from private practice. In his private practice Dr. Brecher continued to help pa- tients navigate through their mental health is- sues. Dr. Brecher earned a bachelor’s degree in 1954, a master’s degree in 1955, and a doctoral degree in 1962 – all in psychology from Temple University. Born on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1932 to William and Elsie Brecher, Ukrainian immigrants, he was pre- deceased by his two older brothers, Jerrold and Sydney. As a young boy, Hal helped out at his family business, Brecher’s Dress Shop on Fabric Row on Fourth Street below South. He often spoke of “rich memories of street life, “including, “delis, push carts, street vendors and corner crop dice games.” The result of this background – “in the neighbor- hood, in public school and in the store” – he said, “made me accepting of differences and people from all walks of life.” He was mar- ried to Lorraine Davis, who also predeceased him, until 1986. They raised a son and three daughters in Northeast Philadelphia. For 20 years, Dr. Brecher attended classes at Chel- tenham Art Center. He created sculptures in clay and welded metal and painted with ac- rylics, oils, and watercolor. His work was frequently included in exhibitions at the Chel- tenham Art Center. Dr. Brecher traveled ex- tensively through Europe and once drove cross-country visiting the U.S. National Parks. He enjoyed winter vacations in Siesta Key, Florida, and more recently, in Rancho Mirage, California. He loved dancing and classical music and was a longtime sub- scriber to The Philadelphia Orchestra, and supported WRTI, the Abington Library, and the Performance Garage on Brandywine Street in Philadelphia. Hal is survived by his son, David (Emily); daughters Renee Brock (Mark), Linda Brecher Bekoff (Andy), and Ellyn Kellerman (Jonathon); nine grandchil- dren; one great granddaughter; and his part- ner, Millie Berg. Contributions in his memory may be made to Cheltenham Center for the Arts 439 Ashbourne Rd. Cheltenham, PA 19012. Please include Brecher memorial donation in the memo line.

GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS MASON Bernard Mason, March 18, 2020; Bernie Ma- son, 99, passed peacefully away at Cathedral Village with his family by his side. He was born in Philadelphia on May 7 th , 1920, to the late Bennett and Henrietta (Cohen) Mason. Bernie was a true renaissance man. He was an immensely talented artist who won a drawing contest in his teens. The prize was an interview with Walt Disney in California. Unfortunately, this was during the Great De- pression, and he needed to stay at home to help with his family. He enlisted during World War II and as a first Lieutenant was a prom- inent part of the top secret Ghost Army. This special company of artists, sound engineers and set designers were given a unique mis- sion within the Allied Army: to impersonate other Allied Army units to deceive the enemy. He led Task Force Mason - which flew into Omaha Beach eight days after D-Day to con- duct the Ghost Army’s first deceptive mis- sion on the continent. Bernie was featured in a book and a PBS special, and is currently a part of a new exhibit at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. He always considered his greatest wartime accomplish- ment to be that he brought all of his men home safe and sound. Though he could only complete one year of college at Drexel when he was a young man, he graduated with hon- ors from Villanova University when he was 75. He was an avid Villanova basketball fan, as well as enjoying the Phillies and Eagles. Bernie enjoyed mathematics and word puzzles of all kinds. He never left home without a camera in his pocket to take pho- tos of people he met. Those photos became extraordinary portraits that he would give as a gift to those he photographed. He loved do- ing that. But his greatest love of all was his wife of 74 years, Dottie (nee Sacks). He liter- ally married the girl next door. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son Carl (Bobbi) Mason and his daughter Bobbi (Mark) Helms; his grandchildren Scott Ma- son, Jaclyn Mason, Erin (Chris) Saulino, Emily (Matt) Staffaroni and five great grand- children – Lyla, Jack, Sydney, Tommy and Grace. He was preceded in death by his sis- ter Mildred Nathan and his brother Louis Ma- son. Services will be private. A memorial cel- ebration is planned for sometime this sum- mer.

JOSEPH STEIN After a courageous and determined battle against cancer, Sandra Diane Stein (nee Segal), age 80, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loving family and her devoted caregivers. Born in South Phil- adelphia, she graduated with honors from Philadelphia High School for Girls and was awarded a scholarship to attend the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. After receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree, she received anoth- er scholarship to attend Temple University School of Law, making her one of the few women admitted at the time. She completed her law degree, raised her family, became a civic leader, founded the first Women’s pro- Israel National Political Action Committee (WIN. PAC), served on the Senate Judiciary Staff of U.S. Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, and eventually practiced as one of the leading asset recovery experts at Rob- bins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP represent- ing hundreds of institutional investors around the country. Working with the late Senator Arlen Specter, she was a strong advocate of investor and consumer protections, transpar- ency in government, and criminal justice re- form. She was instrumental in helping pass the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and then went on to help co-found the Institute for Law and Economic Policy (ILEP). Mrs. Stein was an active member of the Jew- ish community, and a supporter of numer- ous charitable causes. Her leadership with the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Stand With Us fighting anti-semitism on college cam- puses stands out. She was also a strong and passionate supporter of the State of Israel, having served on the National Board of AIPAC, and various other pro-Israel efforts to ensure the safety and security of America’s strongest ally in the Middle East. Her love for the State of Israel never wavered and her Zionism was shown through countless events hosted at her home. The Chabad of Bel Air Sukkah party hosted with her daugh- ters was also legendary. She is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Laura Stein and Sam Goldfeder, Leigh Stein and Joe Mc- Namara, and by four beloved grandchildren, Michael, Sabrina, Jacob, and Blythe. Also surviving are her brothers, Robert of Boals- burg, Pennsylvania and Jack of Traverse City, Michigan and their families. Her parents, Morris and Rose Segal of Philadelphia, pre- deceased her. The family wishes to acknow- ledge the compassionate assistance given to Mrs. Stein by her devoted caregivers, espe- cially Erna Melikyan. A private funeral will take place at Montefiore Cemetery in Jenkin- town, Pennsylvania. The family suggests contributions in her memory to the Simon Wiesenthal Center or Chabad of Bel Air CA as their efforts were very important to her. A memorial service in Los Angeles will be held in March 2020.
