I am unhappy to report the passing of Abby Spivack, a student from the University of Judaism who was on her way to receiving ordination from the Ziegler Rabbinical School. Spivack was only 30 years old. She also attended the UJ as an undergrad. Spivack is remembered for her countless acts of volunteering and community service. Her friends recall her as someone always willing to lend a helping hand.
A memorial service was held in remberance for Spivack on October 24. Tere, Rabbi Bradley Artson spoke of to a filled Beit Midrash of Spivack’s accomplishments and attributes. After Artson, many decided to speak in front of all those present. The UJ has also dedicated a Ziegler Rabbinical School scholarship in honor of her memory. Spivack’s parents, Gary and Linda, were also present at the memorial service. She is also survived by her sister, Allison.
