American Friends of The Hebrew University note with deepest sorrow the loss of Dr. Sanford A. Berman.

A long-standing American Friend, "Dr. B" was beloved for his dedication to The Hebrew University and Israel's people.

Among Dr. B's acts of philanthropy was his generous support for Hebrew University's "Radio Mount Scopus,"

the first student operated university radio station in Israel;

his contributions to the Iris S. and Bert L. Wolstein Accessibility Project;

and his gift to augment campus security in the aftermath of the July 31st terrorist attack on Mount Scopus. 

Dr. B's humanitarian legacy will exist in perpetuity, enhancing future generations.

We extend our sympathies to his dear friends, Lana and Michael Jacobson, and to his family and friends

throughout the United States and the State of Israel.

Dr. B. was born on January 10, 1908 in Cleveland, Ohio.

He graduated  from Ohio State University School of Dentistry, was in the armed forces and practiced family dentistry

in Euclid, Ohio. 

He and his late wife, Bette, maintained an active social life and  were affiliated with many Jewish organizations

over the years.

Bette was  active in Hadassah and she and Dr. B. loved travel and enjoyed their homes  in Cleveland and

in Adventura, Florida.

For the past decade and a half, Dr. B. was active in the stock  market, successfully managing his own investments.

He used his successes to fund a myriad of philanthropic projects for such organizations as

The Sight  Center of Greater Cleveland,

Jewish National Fund, Jerusalem Girls Orphanage, Congregation B'nai Jesherun, The Interdisciplinary Center of  Herzliya,

and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Dr. B. has a large extended family of friends and relative in Cleveland,

Connecticut, Colorado, California, Florida, Minnesota and in Israel.

Our good friend Dr. Sanford A. Berman passed away  on (March 06  2003) afternoon

at  Montefiore Home in Beachwood. The funeral service took place on Friday, March, 7, 2003, Noon,

at Berkowitz-Kumin-Bookatz, Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
