Eliyahu Kassorla Nussbaum of Bedford, NH found peace on March 11 at the age of 33. Beloved husband of Craig Nussbaum. Dear son of Rabbi Hayiim and Jodi Kassorla and Dr. Yael Kassorla. Cherished grandson of Bev Sidel. Loving nephew of Scott Sidel, Lauren Walsh. Loving brother of Josef and Nafi Kassorla; Connor, Ryan, and Keith Murphy; and Yoni and Daniel Kassorla. Loving Uncle of Ava Nussbaum.
He served his country in the Navy and Army Reserves branches of service, and he had cherished memories of his time spent with his unit in Maine. He was close to finishing a Master’s of Science in Nursing and Northeastern University and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. He greatly loved cooking, especially learning and making his own complex recipes from middle eastern, Italian, and Sephardic Jewish cuisines. He cultivated his own garden of fresh herbs, lemons, and other items to use in his cooking; and he mastered the art of baking real-starter sourdough and was in process starting an ancient-grains bakery business. Eli loved spending time in nature, trail-running and taking long hikes on the 4 miles of trails he carved out and maintained in his family’s backyard. Most recently, he was a very active volunteer organizer helping his candidate achieve great results in New Hampshire and Georgia, with plans to take a campaign organizer position in Maine.
Eliyahu brought such joy, caring, passion, and friendship/giving to so many people’s lives over the course of his own. His passion for science, logic, as well as helping others was the hallmark of his pure soul. He touched so many people’s lives in such a positive way and gave selflessly of himself to those who were special to him.
Graveside service on Sunday, March 15 at 12:00 PM at Children of Israel Cemetery, 324 Middle Road, Haverhill, Massachusetts. A memorial gathering in New Hampshire will be planned for a later date.
Memorial Observance will held at the family home in Bedford, NH, 03110 on Sunday, March 15th, from 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM EST.
In lieu of flowers, expressions of friendship in Eliyahu's memory may be donated to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (https://www.aaas.org) or Mission 22
