Rabbi Pam,
Yeshiva Dean

JULIE WIENER
Jewish Telegraphic Agency

R

abbi Avrohom Pam, one of
the most respected voices in
the fervently Orthodox
Jewish community, died
early Aug. 17 of cancer.
Pam, who was 88, was one of eight
members of Agudath Israel of
America's
Council of Torah
Sages and long-
time dean of
Yeshiva Torah
Vodaath in
Brooklyn.
In 1997, Pam
gave the opening
lesson for a group
of 18,000 at a
national celebra-
Rabbi Pam
tion marking the
completion of the
Talmud cycle, an event for religious Jews
who read a page of Talmud each day.
In 1990, he helped found the Shuvu
network of religious schools in Israel for
immigrants from the former Soviet
Union. He also was an advocate for edu-
cation for Jewish immigrants to the
United States.
Remembered as unassuming, Pam
insisted before his death that no eulogy
be given at his funeral, so the service
consisted solely of prayers and psalms.
Thousands of mourners turned out
for the occasion, even though many
local Orthodox Jews spend their sum-
mers in the Catskill Mountains.
Born in Russia, Pam came to New
York as a child. He studied at Yeshiva
Torah Vodaath and began teaching
there in 1937.
Pam was known for his strong state-
ments against corruption and criminal
activity among fervently Orthodox Jews.
Referring to a scandal in which four
Chasidic Jews in suburban New York
obtained presidential pardons, allegedly
in exchange for their community's sup-
port for Hillary Clinton's Senate cam-
paign, Pam this spring called for "mak-
ing immediate and intense efforts to
make Orthodoxy synonymous once

again with honesty and integrity"
Pam lived in a small house in
Brooklyn and, though he had been ill
for several years, continued to walk the
two blocks from his home to the yeshi-
va, using one of his wife's shopping carts
as a walker.
A few weeks ago he brought his hos-
pital bed and doctor with him, so he
could speak at a parlor meeting to raise
money for the Shuvu schools.
Pam was buried in a cemetery in
Queens, N.Y. He is survived by his wife
Sarah, three sons and several grandchil-
dren.

Corrections

The obituary for Geraldine Goldman
(Aug. 10) should have indicated that sh(
was the dear sister of the late Esther
Brady.
The obituary for Stanley Weingarden
(Aug. 17) should have indicated that he
is survived by his brother-in-law and sis-
ters-in-law, Morris and Helene I nst and
Dorothy Last, and was the dear brother
of the late Eugene Weingarden.
Contributions may be directed to the
Friends of Detroit Public Library, 5201
Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48202
or the Karmanos Cancer Institute,
24601 Northwestern Highway,
Southfield, MI 48076.
