Jacob Schulder
As a close friend of Yoni’s up through high-school, I was often dependent on his and David’s extreme genius in science and math. As I was most concerned with practicing my basketball skills, Yoni was always the person I called when I needed help learning some concept that he had already mastered months, if not years prior. As a result, I often found myself at the Kra home. Whether it be a Shabbat, Sunday or weekday afternoon, Midge’s warmth was palpable. She always greeted me with a smile, knowing full well that I was taking away time from Yoni when he could have been furthering his own academic development.
I distinctly remember a Sunday afternoon during my freshman year in Frisch when I needed help understanding osmosis the day before a biology exam. Yoni tried to explain it to me numerous times, but it simply would not register. Then David gave it a shot; same result. I remember getting very frustrated and Midge, with a smile as warm as the sun, simply looked at me and said “Jacob, it’s going to be ok.”
Turned out she was right. I don’t think I did too well on the exam, but Midge was correct. Things turned out ok after all.
We will miss you Midge Kra. You were a very kind and good woman.
