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. — Carol Katzman and Claudia Sherman, the Jewish Press of Omaha.
