Page 6 Burial of Michael Osborne a fellow Jew. He lived in Dumaguete, Visayas. He never visited the Synagogue. No one knew him. But as a fellow Jew, it is our obligation, and desire, to give him a proper burial. 11 members led by Rabbi Azaria buried him. Community members contributed $5,000USD to pay the hospital bills, the funeral home and fly him to Manila.
