With sadness, I have to report on the passing of Yousef Ben Meyer, who died from a heart attack today. He lived his last years in Israel with his wife edna, and even found the time to join the conservative Women In Green.

We will miss you Gerry

This is sad news. I remember him from the old JTF programs when I first started listening, back when I was in high school. This would have been around 2001. He was British, right? I liked him a lot; I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Baruch dayan haemet.

I don't know who he is since I only found out about JTF in 2007. Are there any videos on the internet of him doing a show with Chaim?

This is a sad day for all of us. Yossef Ben Meir was a hero and one of our greatest spokesmen. He was a man of Jewish values, who dedicated his life to spreading the truth to the world and helping the Jewish people.

May his name and memory be immortalized!

Yossef Ben Meir, we shall love you and cherish you for ever and ever in this movement!

Listen to any of the "b" programs from 2001-2003 at the JTF Archive.

OMG, I'm so sorry. My condolences to his family. I remember the shows he used to do with Chaim, and how he did the Yimach Shmo curse with a British accent. How old was he? Does he have children?

I was thinking he was South African?

My condolences goes out to his friends and family.

I can't believe it. I remember searching for old JTF shows and hearing him talk with his British sounding accent, and wonder where David Ben Moshe was.

May his name and memory be immortalized.

My condolences i loved listening to him with dry sense of humor

I remember seeing him on MNN holding up a picture of a gorilla. He said this is the president of MNN. Then he held up the same picture and said this is C.Virgina Fields [borough president].
Nice guy with British accent.
He will be sorely missed.

Who is Gerry? His nick name?_

The expression R.I.P. isn't a Jewish one. Just letting people know. You can say Olav Hashalom.
