HARRY ROSENBERG

Harry Rosenberg, 52, purchased his second-floor condo just last month after a difficult year. He lost his wife, Anna Rosenberg, to cancer last summer and both his parents to COVID-19.

A New York City man bought a beachfront condo in Florida to start a new chapter of his life after his wife and parents died.

On a recent morning before communal prayers at a synagogue, Harry Rosenberg told a friend that his new beachfront condo in Florida offered a much-needed change of scenery after an awful year in which he lost his wife to cancer and both parents to COVID-19 in New York. The home in Surfside was to be a gathering spot for visiting children and grandchildren, and his daughter and son-in-law were doing just that when they traveled to the condo last week from New Jersey to join him for the Sabbath. Elsewhere in the building, a woman also sought a fresh start in Florida after falling ill and recovering from COVID-19.
