In Memoria

Barry Vine (z”l)

August 10, 1943 – August 8, 2024

Barry Vine Photo

It is with great sadness we share of Barry Vine’s passing. Barry was a long-time benefactor and supporter of our organization, and, in 2022, along with his devoted wife Hyla, was an honoree of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven.
 
In 2023, Barry and Hyla established a designated fund at the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven to benefit JHSGNH. Barry’s life story is among those chronicled in our series Jews in New Haven Series, Vol. IX. 
 
In a fitting tribute to Barry’s spirit of Chesed and Tzedakah, the Vine Family asks that we remember to “do one kind thing every day.”
 
May Barry Vine’s memory be for an eternal blessing.
