[ha-Safran] Leah Adler z"l
I visited the Gottesman Library on Monday. I felt that I must pay a condolence call to the Library itself, as well as to the people who have been working closely with Leah ז"ל all these years. We personally, Yeshiva University, and the profession of Judaic librarianship lost one of its stars this week. I had the privilege of working with Leah at YU for over thirty years. She was attending library school when she joined the staff and rose, relatively quickly, to the position of Head Librarian. She embodied a rare combination of professional and personal qualities that enabled her to reach the top of her profession while maintaining close supportive relationships with her colleagues. Leah was brilliant and a perfectionist. She took time to understand and master new protocols, systems, and techniques, and proceeded to implement them with clarity and precision. She was the library go to person with language questions as she was proficient in classical and European languages. And let’s not take for granted her Torah knowledge, a sine qua non for the Mendel Gottesman Library. Leah tended to be quiet and unassuming, but she showed strength when it was warranted and she inspired confidence. Her fellow staff members sought her advice on work related as well as personal matters. Leah was a truly refined human being – אן איידעלער מענטש in the fullest sense. יהי זכרה ברוך Pearl Berger YU Dean of Libraries - Retired.

[ha-Safran] retirement
Dear Friends, As many of you may have already heard, I will be retiring from my position as Dean of Libraries at Yeshiva University at the end of this academic year. My experience at Yeshiva has been an extremely rewarding professional journey; one from which I derived a great deal of personal satisfaction. Along with a wonderful group of librarians and support personnel, I had the opportunity to move the YU libraries forward and to provide the student and faculty community with the best that we could offer. I have had the pleasure of working with many of you at AJL in various capacities and I expect I will continue to be involved in the years to come. A committee has been formed to search for my replacement.
