Dear Paul and all: I am so sorry to hear this very sad news. We lost a wonderful colleague who was always there for advice with a quiet smile and a twinkle in her eyes. I remember my chats and meetings with her over many years very fondly, I will miss her. My sincere condolences to her family and friends, to her YU family, to all her colleagues in the library world and beyond. Baruch dayan ha-emet.

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 Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/YULibraries>, Twitter<https://twitter.com/yulibrary>, and Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/yulibraries/>.
