speeches, which were packed
with information and statistics,
for an entire year, but deliver
them without any notes.

“He would begin preparing
for these speeches the day after
Yom Kippur for the following
one,” she said. “It was amazing.

People still tell me, ‘I will never
forget those speeches that your
dad gave in the synagogue.’”
Kolsby also was active in
changing the rules for the Law
of Return to Israel to include
interfaith families.

“He very much believed
everyone should be included in
Israel and everyone should have
an opportunity to go back,”
Edenbaum said. “He believed
antisemitism was something that
JEWISHEXPONENT.COM was always going to exist, and we
always needed to have Israel.”
Even at the end of his life,
Kolsby still voraciously read
The New York Times and kept
up to date on current politics
and culture.

“It was amazing how he
took in and articulated things,”
Edenbaum said. “He always
stayed focused and interested
and vibrant and that has a lot to
do with his longevity.”
Kolsby is survived by his
brother, Charles Kolsby (Beryl); his
children, Dana Edenbaum (Saul),
Robert Kolsby (Kathy) and Paul
Kolsby (Sam); five grandchildren;
and two great-grandchildren. l
