The SHLOSHIM for NISON CISS z”l, June 5, 2017, Toronto, Holocaust/Shoah Survivor and Father of Julius Ciss, Executive Director of Jews for Judaism (Canada) – https://youtu.be/lzPNJTI7W2I 

My father’s last words, “Everything is going to be OK” was the theme of the SHLOSHIM for NISON CISS, z”l, which occurred on Monday, June 5, 2017. Shloshim is the thirty-day period in Judaism following burial, including Shiva, the seven-day mourning period. It is often concluded with a gathering to remember the departed and celebrate his/her life. Many people could not attend this very important Shloshim tribute to my Daddy. So it is my hope that this video will fulfill the important purpose of adding more purpose and meaning to the life of Nison Ciss z”l.
