He was a teacher whose wide and profound erudition enlightened the learned and learner alike, whose penetrating mind always reached for the essential, discarding all else, whose incessant task was the building of a bridge between past generations and the present. Deeply steeped in the history and knowledge of the past, he was forever reappraising and reevaluating its accomplishments, assessing and con- fronting our current philosophies, values, and modes of behavior in their light. Few men have been better intellectually equipped in such a task. A man of integrity in an age of expediency, he walked a solitary path in his search for truth and meaning. Those of us who knew him and walked a little with him on his journey have lost a guide post in our own search, a cherished friend, and revered teacher. -Silvan S. Scbweber I am honored to write a few words in memory of our beloved colleague Simon Rawidowicz. Although I knew him for a relatively short time, I felt that we had become good friends. At Brandeis we all knew him as a saintly man of remarkable energy and enormous intellectual gifts. He was certainly wiser than most of us, and that he knew morewe took for granted. I looked forward to his visit to us on the day he became ill, and had prepared an especially provocative set of problems for our usual discussion. But what we all hoped was a routine grippe was to prove his fatal illness. On our first meeting I had asked him to forgive my ignorance of Hebrew, and was surprised when his reply was I don't forgive you! Later, when an opportunity arose to compose a musical work in the Jewish tradition, I re- membered his remark and decided to use a Hebrew text. We chose beautiful poems of jehuda Halevi and spent long afternoons together translating every line precisely and establishing each Hebrew accent. Simon would often leave a poetic line to range brilliantly through vast philosophical territory. I had hoped to have the pleasure of dedicating my Cantata to Simon Rawidowicz, and it is a sad necessity which forces me to dedicate it instead to his memory. It is diiiicult to believe that this noble and dedicated man is no longer with us. -Harold Sbazpero It was a great zbiya, a true privilege to be a colleague and close friend of Professor Simon Rawidowicz. He was a rare combination of creative thinker and scrupulous scholar. Deeply rooted in the Jewish tradition, Professor Rawi- dowicz was completely at home in all the areas of Jewish thought and learning. He was a stubborn lighter for and a passionate devotee of the Hebrew language which symbolized to him the continuous and uninterrupted spirit of the jewish people, from Abraham of the Old Testament to the great poet Bialik of our time. He loved Zion and the Land of Israel but, above all, he loved his people and proclaimed the unity of the jewish people stemming from the unity of its origin and faith and the equal worth of all Jewish settlements anywhere in the world. A rare spirit, a great teacher, a profound scholar, a genuine humanist, Professor Rawidowicz has left an indelible mark on the Jewish thinking of our age. May his memory be blessed forever. -joreph I. Cberkis 4
