Fortunately, our Relational organization, community, and larger psychoanalytic world have brilliant, vibrant, and generous, generative contributors and teachers. But I know of no one who encompasses that particular, unique balance of wisdom, Talmudic levels of knowledge, scholarly brilliance, passion for teaching and warmth that Lew did. He has left a hole in my heart and the hearts of many of us. He has left a void in our field. My deepest sympathies to all of you who are grieving his loss, though of course especially to his late partner, my very dear friend and colleague Galit Atlas; his children, Benjamin, Kirya and Raphi; and Galit\u2019s children, Emma, Yali and Mia.<\/p>\n
Although it was becoming increasingly clear to Lew in the last 6 months or so that he would not live to see our annual conference, he had very much hoped to be there. I hope that many of you will be able to join us for the memorial in Lew\u2019s honor that will be held at the conference on Friday afternoon, June 21st<\/sup> from 12:15-1:15.<\/p>\n Warm regards,<\/p>\n Steven Kuchuck (USA)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Steven Kuchuck<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":6,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"issuem_issue":[65],"issuem_issue_categories":[],"issuem_issue_tags":[],"class_list":["post-8105","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","issuem_issue-bulletin-apr2019-vol18-no2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/iarpp.net\/thesite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kuchuckphoto0518wf.jpg\")
