ReelAbilities Film Festival, 
which focuses on films 
by and about people with 
disabilities.”
Ever the director, Dr. 
Magidson once told Rabbi 
Norman Roman to save a 
poem recited at a memorial 
service. Rabbi Roman got the 
message, and passed the poem 
along to Rabbi Gutmann. 
It defined what can bring 
greatness to life and included 
dreams, truths, worth earned 
and help given — qualities 
attributed to Magidson by 
those closest to him.
Dr. David Magidson is 
survived by wife, Leslee 
Magidson; daughters and 
daughter-in-law, Laura 
and Meredith Griffith 
and Adriane Magidson; 
grandchildren, Violet, Asher, 
Levi and Hazel Reeves; 
sisters and brothers, Isabel 
Magidson, Robert and Anne 
Magidson, Edward Magidson

Magidson, Elisa Lustig and 
Mariel Lustig.
He was the loving brother 
of the late Judith Herman; 
the devoted son of the late
