DAVID JOSHUA SLATER
Born in Winnipeg, raised in Israel, David served in the Israeli Navy before following his passion to study music and composition, first at The New School in New York City and then at York University in Toronto. Claudia and David settled in Toronto's Seaton Village community where they began to raise their family.
While in Toronto, David discovered his calling in osteopathic therapy, realizing his remarkable gift as a healer and health practitioner. Moving with his family back to Israel in 2012, David revived the family home in Moshav Kfar Netter and quickly established himself as a leader in the Israeli osteopathic community. He ultimately served as chair of the Israeli Registry of Osteopaths, helping to make osteopathic treatment affordable and more available to a wider sphere of the Israeli population as well as dedicating himself to training the next generation of osteopathic students in Israel. His impact on his patients was profound, as evidenced by the outpouring of emotion and gratitude the family received from so many people he served, each expressing that David not only helped them heal their bodies but also helped heal their hearts.
David will be deeply missed by his family and friends around the world as well as by the multitude of people whose lives he impacted in such meaningful ways.

Dear Claudia, we just saw this news on the internet and are devastated about David’s passing. Paul and I were just talking about the Boulevard and all the wonderful people that were part of our life there and so of course we thought of you and David. Our hearts are broken by this news. With much love to you and your children and extended family, Joanne and Paul. Would do love to hear from you. - Posted by: Joanne Simpson (Friend ) on: Jun 22, 2021
