Neria Aranbayev z”l, 20, was the type of person with an energetic smile that one desired to emulate. Neria developed into an outstanding student of Torah and a beacon of light for the Kew Gardens Jewish community and the Bukharian community at large. His impact was known throughout the many Queens area shuls and organizations, and his love for Bukharian traditions and music knew no end. The child of Avraham (Alik) and Svetlana Aranbayev, and the brother to two loving sisters Irina Aran Sulay and Cristina Noa Aran, Neria had tremendous love and respect for all.
