I can only echo what others have already said. Leah was a beautiful person in every sense of that word; beauty of spirit, beauty of mind, beauty of caring. I will miss her even though I haven’t seen her is quite a few years, my thoughts of her are very clear. It was always a pleasure and a meaningful experience to interact with her.
May her memory be for a blessing in all the circles she traveled.

We spoke every year at conferences and she was always kind. She served as a member of the Board and Council and lent her voice quietly, as she did everything, but with authority.

Leah gave me first library job. At the end of my first year at YU I interviewed for a student position managing the front desk at the Gottseman library. Leah offered me the job that summer and I started at the start of my second year. I held this position for 6 years. I always looked forward to seeing Leah at AJL. We reconnected and shared memories. A wonderful person and a great leader. I will miss her very much. May Leah's memory be for a blessing.

The funeral will be in Israel, and the flight to Israel is today. As plans for a memorial at the Gottesman Library of Hebraica-Judaica materialize, we'll send out a notice. Throughout her illness, rather than talk about herself and her physical discomfort, Leah expressed concern for others--about the effect of her absence on their work loads. In the workplace, Leah was always disarmingly candid and honest; she never hesitated to bring up important issues, regardless of how challenging those issues were. After decades of service, Leah seems inseparable from the history of Yeshiva University Libraries. We all share in mourning her loss. Let us all support one another as we grieve. --Paul PAUL GLASSMAN Director of University Libraries YESHIVA UNIVERSITY 500 West 185th Street | New York | NY | 10033 Telephone 646.592.4106 | Facsimile 212.960.0066 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> | www.yu.edu/libraries <http://www.yu.edu/libraries> Follow the YU Libraries on <https://www.facebook.com/YULibraries> Facebook, <https://twitter.com/yulibrary> Twitter, and <https://www.instagram.com/yulibraries/> Instagram. __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) ================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) ================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
