He was also a strong advocate of education guiding and instilling in his children the value of higher learning and the prospects of a better life. He is survived by three sons: Aron (Batia Epelbaum) Zwi Karabel of Poughkeepsie NY, Abraham Karabel of Las Vegas NV, Samuel Karabel of Grand Junction, CO; two brothers: Keith (Anna) Karabell of Memphis TN, and Charles Karabell of Philadelphia, PA; and a grandchild Peyton Nathaniel Karabel.
