On December 9, 2002, Sam Orbaum lost his long and valiant battle with cancer. Who was Sam Orbaum? He was something different to every one of the thousands he touched. He was a writer, whose special voice resonated from the pages of The Jerusalem Post and his books to tell people around the world what it was really like to live in Israel. He was the wordsmith who co-founded the Jerusalem Scrabble Club, reputed to be the largest such club in the world. He was the father who landed a triple score, blessed with identical triplet girls who were his proudest achievement in a short life marked by so much accomplishment. He was the cynic, the comic, the fighter, the friend.
