[Edling] Share Your Memories of Bernard Spolsky

[Miriam E Ebsworth via Edling]

Dear Friends,

The passing of Professor Bernard Dov Spolsky, זיכרונו לברכה zichrono
livracha, (may his memory be a blessing) is such a loss to our community.
Having met him casually in academic settings, and of course
through his prodigious writing, I found myself sitting next to him on a
plane to the AILA Conference in Sydney, Australia. This wonderful
opportunity gave me a chance to meet Dov in a more personal way, and I
often think
back to that rich and fascinating conversation. More recently, he
contributed a chapter on 'Religion and education in the preservation of
Hebrew and other Jewish language varieties' to a text on Language
Maintenance, Revival and Shift in the Sociology of Religion (I co-edited
with Rajeshwari Pandharipande and Maya David).

As my colleagues reflect, Bernard Dov Spolsky was an extraordinary
individual, brilliant and thoughtful, with great insight and passion for
language and learning. The gift of his spirit and ideas will remain with us
for generations to come.

With wishes for peace and consolation to all who had the privilege to know
him,
Miriam
