Mrs. Mindy Lamm a”h

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Mrs. Mindy Lamm a”h.

Mrs. Lamm was the wife of Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm, former president, chancellor and rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva University.

Mindella, as she was known, was born to the Mehler family in Midwood, Brooklyn. Her father passed away when she was very young. After completing her Bais Yakov education, she attended Hunter College, where she majored in Education and minored in Drama.

Upon graduating college, Mrs. Lamm worked in the New York public school system. Once she met her husband, Dr. Lamm, she transferred her energies to YU. Before Dr. Lamm became president of YU, she was very involved in all of the chesed work of the Yeshiva University’s Women’s Organization.

Once her children were older, she accompanied Dr. Lamm to meet with dignitaries across the world. She traveled to Egypt, London, Paris, Australia, and Beijing during her husband’s presidency. She got to meet or know many people, including Abba Eban, Natan Sharansky, Yehuda Avner, Menachem Begin, Yitzchok Rabin, and others.

Mrs. Lamm is survived by her husband and her children, Dr. Chaye Warburg, Dr. Joshua Lamm, and Shalom Lamm. She was predeceased by her daughter, Sara Dratch a”h.

The levayah will take place this afternoon.
