Ari was a messenger with a powerful message. He was a gibor -- a brave & mighty warrior. He was a gibor -- a brave & mighty warrior. "He was a true hero. Not only in his death, but all of his life,” his father Rabbi Yonah Fuld eulogized at the funeral. “He was a giant of strength, of passion, of love for his family. He was a hero to all.” May Ari's memory continue to always be a blessing....
