Bernice sent this to me from the librarian at Temple Beth Am where they were members for many years. Kudos to Etta Gold who sent me the jpg of the above photo and graciously invited me to come see it in person.
The Professor 'Bob' Sandler Reading Corner
Robert “Bob” Sandler was a frequent visitor and a genuine supporter of our library. He would often stop by with news of a new publication we might be interested in purchasing or to give us a heads-up on an article of his, soon to be published. Bob, a retired Professor of English at the University of Miami, remained deeply involved in so many intellectual pursuits, teaching and lecturing on an array of subjects – modern, Biblical, and Holocaust literature, history, philosophy, as well as Tanach and Talmud. In April of 2010 Bob was honored as the co- recipient of the Temple Beth Am 2010 Talmud Torah Award, along with his dear friend George Bosin. It was their persistent determination that we provide a forum for current events discussions, especially regarding Israel, that contributed to the creation of our Sunday Series, now known as the Sunday Salon. Bob passed away in December of 2010, but his beloved wife Bernice, family and friends have fashioned the perfect way to honor him and keep his memory alive in our library. A comfy chair, a beautiful reading light, and a quiet nook in which to curl up and read – welcome to the Professor Bob Sandler Reading Corner.
Come, check us out!
