FOCUS ON...
BY THE BROWN FAMILY, WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY EMMA DRIBAN Photos Provided by the Brown Family A Family Tree
F ew people in the Jewish community in Delaware embodied “Jewish joy and pride” quite as strongly as Louis (Lou) and Faith Brown. They were devoted members of Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth Congregation for over 60 years, contributing to countless programs, High Holiday services, holiday celebrations, and community gatherings over the years. Though Lou passed away in 2020, he was never far from Faith’s mind, and she shared many stories during my time as editor about the kind of man he was. Dedicated. Loving. A true mensch . Faith was no different. Her love knew no bounds, and she made sure it was felt through this community and this publication. Faith wrote dozens of poems and articles for Jewish Living Delaware in these last few years, and in them, gave a piece of herself. She enthralled readers with her ways with verse, brought Israel to our pages with stories of her and Lou’s times spent in service, and showed many of us what it means to truly age with grace as she shared her inner meditations. Faith and Lou’s loss will leave an indelible mark on this community, but their legacy will live on through those who were blessed to know them. In their memory, members of the Brown family share what it means to carry on their spirit.
