Charley Levine z"l

Charley Levine passed away Sunday and the funeral is in Jerusalem today.

Charley was a Betari during his undergraduate days in New York and his MA was published in 1974 as "Propaganda techniques of the Bergson group, 1939-48" at the University of Texas at Austin, the state in which he was born.

Batya's reminisce.


Bobby Brown:

Unfortunately Charley Levine Long time activist for the Jewish People, Husband, Father, Grandfather, and my friend since College and Betar days [in the early to middle 1970s] has passed away...To all who knew him he was unforgettable, He was legendary in his fight for Israel's image and security. We will miss you my friend. At least you are no longer suffering. Our sincere love and condolences goes to all of Charley's family. Blessed is the ultimate judge.
