Dorothy Kripke,
Author, Benefactor
orothy Kripke of Omaha, Neb.,
Da
n author of books including
Let's Talk About God, died on
Sept. 7 at age 88. Her first two books,
Rhymes to Play and Rhymes to Pray were
published in 1952.
In addition to her devotion to chil-
dren's literature, Mrs. Kripke was a
speaker for the Women's League for
Conservative Judaism, where she rose to
the position of national vice president,
and Hadassah, the women's Zionist
organization.
b
Mrs. Kripke and her husband, Rabbi
Myer S. Kripke, made a startling revela-
tion in 1997 when the Jewish
Theological Seminary of America
announced it had received an unprece-
dented $7 million gift to rebuild the
school's tower destroyed by fire in 1966.
The quiet, unassuming couple, who
were bridge-playing friends of a relative-
ly unknown financier Warren Buffet and
his wife Susie, took their life savings of
$5,000 and invested in Buffet's fledgling
Berkshire Hathaway company. The
friendship grew and so did the invest-
ment, though the Kripkes continued to
live a modest life.
Dorothy Kripke is survived by her
husband and three children.

Sherman, the Jewish Press of Omaha.
Correction
The obituary of Barney Kasoff, which
appeared Sept. 8, should have stated
that Mr. Kasoff was the beloved hus-
band of the late Pauline Kasoff.
