I am so sorry for your loss. Paul was a special person who gave of himself to the community

My deepest condolences to Kathy,Lita, and all friends and family. Paul was a spdcial man who will be missed!

Paul was a class act!  We were friends as kids in Shaker and in the choir together.  Paul taught my daughter Torah lessons as well.

I was one of Paul's students for many years. I found his classes meaningful and deeply inspiring. Now I am a teacher, and I've been teaching for a number of years using methods directly inspired by Mr. Koret. His work lives on.

Paul will be missed. He was a great supporter of the contradance community. We still benefit from his gifts years ago. I am sorry that his great voice will be silent.

So very sorry to learn of this. Baruch Dayan Emet. I was privileged to teach with Paul for a number of years. He was a wonderful, talented, dedicated teacher and a true mensch.

I am truly sorry about the loss of your loved one. May the peace that comes from God strengthen and support to endure this difficult time. Deepest sympathies.
Jeremiah 29:11

Paul was a wonderful person and a dear friend. May his family be consoled among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. We miss you, Paul.

So Sorry in the loss of Paul M. Koret. He will be missed by many. Psalm 90:12.

So very saddened to hear of Paul's death.  I last saw him at our wedding 20 years ago (then I moved to Boston) and often hoped our paths would cross again.  He was a good friend from the folk dance community, where he was both a staple and stabilizer.  I have so many wonderful and fun memories of him. His personality would always fill the room.  My deepest condolences to his whole family.  May his memory be an abiding blessing.

I remember Paul from my high school days. I think I may even gone to a confirmation party with him. May his memory be for a blessing. I will recite his name during Kaddish Friday night as I am conducting services in our small congregation in Terre Haute Indiana

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Koret, but it is clear to me, from speaking with his son Ramsey he was respected by those who knew him and deeply loved by his family.  My sincere sympathy to Mr.Koret's family.  May their memories of time shared with Mr. Koret heal their hearts and bring them peace.

My sincere condolences to Lita and family.  Paul was a dear friend for many years through Israeli dance and I always enjoyed catching up with him when in Cleveland.  He did so much for so many, especially all the young Bible scholars who he inspired to excel in the International Bible Competition in Israel.  He will be missed.

I've known Paul Koret for nearly 50 years. He was close friend of our family, especially my sister Joani. He welcomed me at Cleveland Hillel for Israeli Dancing in the early 70's when I first started, introduced me to his friends/dancers, Avraham Marvin Berger and many others.  His life impacted many many people in different ways. So very sad.
