CHIEF RABBI DR WARREN GOLDSTEIN - CHIEF RABBI OF SOUTH AFRICA
Very few people change the world, Eric Samson was one of them. He changed lives, he changed industries, he changed entire countries.

Eric will be remembered as one of the great philanthropists of the Jewish people of our time.

I don't recall any other philanthropist in the world who managed to touch the life of so many unique projects.
