RAZ, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED 🕯️🌅
Finding the right words to honour Raz has not been easy. It has taken me some time to move beyond the initial shock and allow my heart to speak with the depth of admiration and gratitude he so profoundly deserves.
I had the honour of working closely with him on the board of Hoffman International for over twelve years, witnessing firsthand his remarkable qualities as we navigated each challenge together. He consistently embodied a clear and wise long-term vision, a deeply compassionate attitude toward others, and extraordinary leadership. His role in establishing Hoffman International, and his dedication as Chairman for more than thirty-five years, speak eloquently for themselves.
On a personal level, Raz always made me feel empowered. He helped me believe in myself in my work, offering trust and encouragement with great generosity. He did all of this while never losing his sense of humour. He was completely devoted to spreading peace in the world through this work.
Above all, what I admired most was that he never lost his spiritual connection. He continuously explored different paths, tirelessly seeking truth with humility and openness.
Raz will be deeply missed, and at the same time remembered for a life of profound meaning. His legacy will remain with us for a very long time. His unique personality ensured that he was seen, remembered, and acknowledged wherever he went. I often wondered where such an inexhaustible source of energy came from—one that allowed him to pursue his mission with such unwavering dedication.
Raz, you were like the sun—needing to do nothing special to shine and to bring light to those around you. You will always be dearly remembered. 🤍💫🙏🌅
