Looney & Duff on the Passing of Rabbi Lazowski

“Rabbi Lazowski survived the unimaginable and chose to spend his life teaching the rest of us how to live. He turned what could have been hatred into forgiveness, and he leaves Connecticut better and wiser for having known him. He left an indelible mark on the State Senate as its chaplain, touching people of every faith and background at the General Assembly. We are heartbroken at his passing and feel a profound sense of loss. We extend our deepest condolences to Ruth and the entire family.”

-Senate President Martin Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) on the passing of Rabbi Philip Lazowski, who served as Senate chaplain.
