He died unexpectedly in his home on 3/5/26 May we all remember his wonderful smile, unshakeable commitment to justice & empowering the voices and dignity of those who are marginalized, attacked, or forgotten.There will be a memorial service at Temple Anshe Amunim (26 Broad Street at the corner of Wendell, Pittsfield) on Sunday, March 15 at 11am with refreshments to follow.Ephraim was one of the early organizers of Q-MoB, served on the Board of Berskshire Stonewall Community Coalition, was one of the founders of the Berkshire Queer History Project and interviewed and filmed many queer activists and elders, building an important collection of stories from the early days of Berkshire queer history through stories of more recent activists and actionsEphraim was one of the founders of Pittsfield Housing for All, a coalition of organizations and activists taking action. He also was instrumental in blocking bills to outlaw the homeless in Pittsfield, and in building a network of support for trans and other people discriminated against or struggling in the Berkshires. He consistently turned his outrage into sustained, effective action that came from a deep love & respect for those struggling at the edges. His smile and clever sense of humor brightened many rooms, as did his practical wisdom about how to turn outrage into effective action. His spirit will simultaeneously be missed by and inspire many activists who knew and worked with him.Join us as we remember his life and carry on his work with the fierceness, love, and humor he always brought. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pittsfield/memorial-service-ephraim-schwartz-temple-anshe-amunim-pittsfield-ma/100001984707718212 - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pittsfield - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: 26 Broad St - **lat**: 42.4420065 - **long**: -73.2541292 - **full address**: 26 Broad St, 26 Broad Street, Pittsfield, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Memorial Service Ephraim Schwartz @ Temple Anshe Amunim (Pittsfield, MA) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/a45086387704107d11697e7a3fbd8e486b9403e8068ddf44f084f926ece3e3d1-rimg-w436-h497-dc776047-gmir.jpg?v=1773262833 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Memorial Service Ephraim Schwartz @ Temple Anshe Amunim (Pittsfield, MA) being held? - **A:** Memorial Service Ephraim Schwartz @ Temple Anshe Amunim (Pittsfield, MA) takes place on Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 12:30 pm at 26 Broad St, 26 Broad Street, Pittsfield, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Memorial Service Ephraim Schwartz @ Temple Anshe Amunim (Pittsfield, MA)? - **A:** Memorial Service Ephraim Schwartz @ Temple Anshe Amunim (Pittsfield, MA) is organized by Q-MoB (Queer Men of the Berkshires). ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Memorial Service Ephraim Schwartz @ Temple Anshe Amunim (Pittsfield, MA)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/a45086387704107d11697e7a3fbd8e486b9403e8068ddf44f084f926ece3e3d1-rimg-w436-h497-dc776047-gmir.jpg?v=1773262833", "startDate": "2026-03-15", "endDate": "2026-03-15", "url": "https://allevents.in/pittsfield/memorial-service-ephraim-schwartz-temple-anshe-amunim-pittsfield-ma/100001984707718212", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "26 Broad St", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "26 Broad Street", "postalCode": "01201", "addressLocality": "Pittsfield", "addressRegion": "MA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.4420065", "longitude": "-73.2541292" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us as we honor the life & activism of one of the co-founders of Q-MoB, founders of Berkshire Queer History Project,& justice advocates", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-15", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/pittsfield/memorial-service-ephraim-schwartz-temple-anshe-amunim-pittsfield-ma/100001984707718212" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/pittsfield/memorial-service-ephraim-schwartz-temple-anshe-amunim-pittsfield-ma/100001984707718212", "price": 0, "name": "FREEE Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Q-MoB (Queer Men of the Berkshires)", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/q-mob-queer-men-of-the-berkshires/20922111", "description": "We are a non-profit group of intergenerational queer men organizing regular activity groups & events for queer men in the greater Berkshires region that foster community, friendship, wellness, & fun, such as hiking, game nights, movie nights, arts/theater/dance outings, potlucks/curated dinners, fitness/wellness groups, vision quests/vision support groups, recovery/support groups, fiber arts/crafts groups, massage/reiki exchanges, snow sports group, etc. We seek to offer alternatives to the hookup apps to build a more diverse & deeper community of queer men in the Berkshires who are meeting a much broader set of needs, including the need to be of service to the greater community." } ] } ] ```
