Ezra Mordecai Landau Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Ezra Landau, 67, passed away peacefully on August 19, 2021, at Pisgah Manor in Candler, NC. He is preceded in death by his parents Rabbi Dr. Sol Landau and Gabriela J. Landau nee Mayer. He is survived by his loving (“woman of valor”) sister, Tamara Landau, brother by choice Dr. David (Sharona) Palmer. Cousins, Jim (Kathe) Mayer, Robert Landau, Joan Glover (Joel) Levy, Peter (Corinne) Landau, Dr. Alan Glover, Drs. Jeff (Dana) Glover. Ezra was born in White Plains, NY. Prior to moving to North Carolina, to live with his mother and sister, he lived in Miami, FL for almost 50 years. Ezra graduated from Miami Beach High then went on to receive a bachelor’s in social services. One of Ezra’s many accomplishments was his position as Activities Director at the Jewish Home for the Aged. He also enjoyed volunteering at several Jewish Organizations. Rabbi Wolff Alterman officiated at the graveside service, which was held Friday, August 20, 2021, at 11am at Carolina Memorial Sanctuary. Rabbi Alterman and Ezra shared a special and spiritual connection. They used to meet every Friday at 11am, which happened to be the exact time and day when all the arrangements for Ezra’s service aligned. Memorial donations may be made to the Jewish Family Services, 417 Biltmore Avenue, Asheville, NC 28801. Beth David Congregation, 2625 SW 3rd Avenue, Miami, FL 33129. One of Ezra’s favorite sayings was “mensch on a bench,” and he definitely lived up to that.
