The staff of the Connecticut Jewish Ledger and the Massachusetts Jewish Ledger mourn the passing of “Ricky” Greenfield, publisher of our papers from 1994 to 2014.

Ricky was a man of uncommon principle, a wise leader, a loyal and generous friend, and a fierce and passionate defender of the State of Israel.

He embraced Yiddishkeit with great joy and was boundless in his love for the Jewish people. His legacy is reflected in the vibrancy of Jewish life in the Southern New England Jewish communities
that he sought so selflessly to unite.

May his family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

His memory will serve as a source of strength and a blessing.
