Dear colleagues, I'm very sad to report that Leah Adler, Head Librarian of Hebraica-Judaica at Yeshiva University, died this weekend after an illness that she managed quietly and successfully until recently. 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 paul.glass...@yu.edu | 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/>.
