With profound sorrow and deep reverence, the Feuerstein Institute and Feuerstein International Training Centers mourn the passing of our beloved Professor Lou Falik, of blessed memory.
Lou served as Professor Reuven Feuerstein’s most trusted confidant and collaborator, masterfully guiding the development of new editions of our method’s seminal works. His exceptional gift for teaching illuminated minds and transformed practices across continents. The SHORESH community now stands incomplete without his wisdom and presence.
"Lou balanced scholarly brilliance with heartfelt compassion. His gentle spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know him."
A man of extraordinary nobility and vision, Lou balanced scholarly brilliance with heartfelt compassion. His gentle spirit touched everyone fortunate enough to know him, creating a legacy that will continue to inspire generations of educators and practitioners.
The void left by his absence is immeasurable. We will forever cherish his contributions, his kindness, and his unwavering dedication to our shared mission.
Our deepest heartfelt condolences to Vera, the children, and the grandchildren.
With deepest respect and affection,
Rabbi Rafael Feuerstein
