I was very sad to see this.
He had such a big impact on my life when I was a girl in camp sternberg.
Such an amazing person and a real loss for am yisroel. He lived an incredible life.

Baruch Dayan HaEmes.
I too went to Sternberg and years later when I learned of Rabbi Greenwald's political and diplomatic double life I could hardly believe he was the same man that walked through the dining room after a fast, making sure all the girls ate slowly and took breaks so we wouldn't make ourselves sick. They just don't make them like Rabbi Greenwald. I can't help but notice that according to the article, Rabbi Greenwald merited a *misas neshika*.
This is a tremendous loss for the Jewish world and the world at large.

Rabbi Greenwald impacted my life so tremendously. He truly saw the good in every person and saw potential in me (and countless other individuals) when even I didn't.
I hope I live up to his belief in me.

I also went to Sternberg and have a tremendous sense of gratitude and respect for Rabbi Greenwald. I have many fond memories of him and of camp. He was a very unique and special man. It is a real loss for klal yisroel.

Heartbroken. He was a Tzaddik and such a good Jew. We should emulate his ways.

So sad. He was such an active askan for the klal. A great Jew. Baruch Dayan Emes.

Me too.
I can't help but remember how we used to sing, "Ronnie Greenwald is the daddy of us all"
I can't imagine that going over well nowadays.
And every time I break a fast I think of him standing up making all of us put down our forks.

Thank you for posting shiva information.
Rabbi Greenwald was a truly unique individual. I think there are very few people who know all of the roles he played, all the people he helped , and he was still so accessible. Klal Yisroel has lost a great man.

A very special man who will be missed. He was a real Ohaiv Yisroel. Rest in peace Rabbi Greenwald.
