Andrea was our guest once, and she was a truly warm, engaging and intelligent woman. Their generosity was vital to our success, and they appreciated our vision in a way that is hard to understand. It could be argued that sites like this one would not be what they are today without Andrea's leadership. May her loved ones be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Lovely, heartfelt messages from family and friends. They are a warm and resilient bunch, her loved-ones. The place was packed: I'm sure her husband felt the outpouring of compassion and grief.

She and her husband gave a speech to my Birthright group, right near the Kotel. I only remember bits and pieces but it was a very moving experience, and her passion for Birthright and its purpose was evident. She must have been a remarkable woman - my condolences to the Bronfman family on her passing. What awful news – I recognized Ms. Bronfman’s face right away from the photo.

Then I lost it. What light coming out of that face. Thank G-d it was just an awful accident; nobody meant harm. The driver was questioned and released. She will be buried in Jerusalem on the Mt. of Olives. Gil Troy just wrote a particularly wonderful memoir of her. What a loss. I didn’t cry until I saw her photo. Then I lost it.

May it continue to flourish as a testament to Andrea Bronfman and her devotion to her people.
