via joseph lauer- from lawrence schiffman Dear friends,
I regret to have to inform you of the passing on Thursday of our colleague and friend Prof. Joseph Baumgarten. He was memorialized in Baltimore on Friday and he will be buried in Israel on Sunday.
May his righteous memory be for a blessing! Lawrence H.
