She was the daughter of Joseph and Fannie Mistetzky, and the youngest sister of Norman, Sam, Luba, and Masha. She was the wife of Jack Bayer. Evelyn is survived by her beloved sons Dennis (Aggie), Todd (Carolyn), Mitchell(Hil- ary), and grandchildren Jonah (Victoria), Vanessa, Brooke, and Alex. Born in Cleve- land, Ohio, Evelyn was the only American born in a family of Russian immigrants. Watching her father build homes and later her parents both run a small grocery, Evelyn came to know the promise of the American dream and the values of hard work and self- determination. Evelyn met her sweetheart, Jack Bayer, as a teenager, and the couple en- joyed a loving 61-year marriage before Jack’s passing in 2006. They raised their three sons in Shaker Heights, Ohio, before relocating to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1968. There Evelyn set up a home and quickly adjusted to a new life in a new city. She spent this next chapter of her life traveling abroad with her doting husband, whose position as president of an international corporation took the couple all over the world. It was during these travels that Evelyn’s wit, style, and curiosity helped turn business associations into genu- ine lifelong connections. Evelyn made friends wherever they went, and she had a story about practically any city or country that you could name. Until her last days, Evelyn’s memory remained remarkably sharp. From boat rides in Capri to nights in Egypt during the 1970s, she could readily recall the most granular details of her life. A Cleveland girl at heart, she saw herself as a Midwesterner and considered Cleveland her true home. Still, Evelyn embraced her life in Philadelphia, where she and Jack enjoyed years of love and laughter surrounded by friends and family at their home down the shore and at dinners at the former Locust Club. Evelyn and Jack were active sponsors of the Greater Philadelphia chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Founda- tion. Evelyn was a woman of phenomenal taste, sharp humor, and understated eleg- ance. Nothing gave her more joy than a good mystery book, movie, or TV show. She was a proud mother, adoring grandmother, and a loving wife. The Bayer family welcomes donations in Evelyn’s name to either the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter, or the Jewish Family & Children Services, www.jfc- sphilly.org.

CALL 215-832-0749 JEWISH EXPONENT Adele Leib Goldman of Lafayette Hill, PA, passed away on December 8, 2020. Adele had many educational and professional ac- complishments. After falling in love with and marrying Alfred E. Goldman in The Bronx, NY, where she grew up, she attained bachel- or’s and master’s degrees in Sociology at Temple University in Philadelphia. Adele sub- sequently worked for Einstein Hospital in Philadelphia, doing geriatric research. Adele served as a district Democrat committee wo- man in Plymouth Meeting, and later served as Chair of the Whitemarsh League State Constitutional Revision Committee for the League of Woman Voters. In that capacity she published eleven articles presenting his- torical background and arguments for state constitutional revision and later was invited to address the League’s Convention in the State Capitol. Adele devoted significant time to volunteer work, especially to aid the eld- erly with disabilities. She was elected to the Board of Directors of Eldernet in Lower Merion and Narberth, and also served as their Treasurer. She created Eldernet’s endow- ment fund and was its first Chairperson. Just as importantly, she served the blind elderly with personal services while also playing a leadership role in Eldernet’s public events. Adele was a very gifted cook, something her family can attest to. She was also a talented jewelry artisan, crafting silver jewelry and selling a large number of pieces at various Philadelphia venues, including the Gem Dell, and as a partner at Les Artisanes, a craft boutique, gallery and studio in Wallingford, Pa. Adele also engaged in extensive study of the investment markets, and her expertise was reflected both in the results she achieved and in her service as an officer for a local chapter of the National Association of Indi- vidual Investors. Throughout her adult life, Adele had a great passion for international travel, and she and Al traveled to every con- tinent, and to both urban and remote, rural (and even primitive) parts of the world. But most important of all, Adele was a loving wife for 68 years and a loving mother for 65 years. Adele and Alfred were deeply in love for their entire marriage and Adele’s daugh- ter, Julie, and her son, Marshall, could not have asked for nor imagined a more loving, nurturing, and generous mother.

She graduated Atlantic City High in 1938 with academic and athletic honors. She was then accepted into, and graduated from, the highly regarded American Academy for Dramatic Art in New York City. Sylvia met her husband, Marvin and married in January of 1943. For 56 years, they shared a union of devotion, romance and adventure. As a moth- er of three daughters, she always considered herself a “happy housewife.” Though when Marvin realized a need for a career change, her life underwent a grand and unexpected change. With an astute business acumen and innate sense of aesthetics, she rose to the occasion, and on her own, opened the “Fine Arts Gallery of Ardmore.” The Gallery brought with it a busy lifestyle change that offered op- portunity for growth and travel which she ad- apted to with pleasure. Though Sylvia’s true passion remained her dedication to friends and family. She was a talented cook and a warm and fun loving hostess. She created many celebratory dinner parties recognizing the Jewish Holidays and life events that made everyone there feel valued. Sylvia loved to sing and dance. She had a flair for beauty and a great sense of style. She was a voracious reader and stayed well informed about world events. She played tennis and golf and was hard to beat at Scrabble and Boggle. Sylvia was a woman who was greatly respected by all who knew her. She had an unsurpassed sense of kindness and generosity. Within her family, she often sought after wisdom which earned her the nick- name “Rabbi.” Sylvia faced life’s challenges with courage and gusto. Ongoing, she reached out to others and wanting the best for them and she ac- complished just that. She made the lives of all of us who had the privilege of knowing her better and sweeter. She will be dearly missed. Sylvia is survived by her daughters Michele Colucci, Nancy Somers and Betsy Tinkham. She is also survived by 5 grandchil- dren and 2 great-grandchildren.

KEDAR Dr. Heather Kedar, aka “Hobie”, beloved wife and mother, passed away at the age of 46, on December 3, 2020 after a fiercely brave battle with Leukemia. Beyond anything, Heather's greatest joy in life was her family. She is sur- vived by her devoted husband, Yinon, and beautiful children, Leor and Hannah. They take comfort knowing their true angel will now always watch over them. She was a strong, passionate woman, a wonderful dent- ist, and a loving friend to all who knew her. Known for her infectious smile and indomit- able spirit, Heather was a light in her com- munity. Born in Philadelphia, PA Heather was the daughter of Edward Mutchnick and Car- ole Zeitz. She graduated from Penn State Uni- versity and attended Temple University for Dental school. She worked for over 20 years as a dentist, becoming the lead practitioner at Lifetime Dental in Langhorne, while balan- cing motherhood with work and service to her community. Privately, she was an inspira- tion to those around her, helping manage a busy household, while she quietly battled health issues. She always had the unique ability to inspire the people around her. She found strength in her family that supported her, in the religious traditions that guided her, and the endless friends that loved her. She was especially fond of her synagogue and the congregation that loved and respec- ted her. It was her contagious laugh and out- going personality that gave her a capacity for living that very few will ever know. She lived life like the candy she loved--full of color, hard enough to break your teeth and sweet enough to fill you with child-like euphoria. Heather treasured her children and em- braced every moment with them. Heather really loved watching Leor play baseball and other sports and enjoyed watching Hannah play basketball and baking. She was always so proud of her children. Her love story of over 20 years with her husband was what people dream about. They loved enough for two lifetimes. Her family is grateful to all of the family and friends that stood by her hus- band and children for the past 13 years. All whom loved her dearly will never forget her strength, tenacity, wit, charm, grace and un- dying love and caring for them. She will be sorely missed and survived by her children Leor & Hannah, husband Yinon, mother-in- law Lea Kedar, father Edward Mutchnick, mother Carole Zeitz and her husband Howard, Aunt Judi Gases and her husband Uncle Murray, brother-in-law Yishai Kedar and his wife Amber and their three children Ariela, Daviel & Gavriel, brother Richard Zeitz and his wife Ally and daughter Emily, sister- in-law Yifat Kedar-Mehl and her husband Brad and their three children Aliza, Maya & Shira, brother Craig Mutchnick and his two children Sydney & Brandon, brother-in-law Maurice Verschelde and his wife Erica and their son Tyler and sister Elysa Zeitz.

He spent long summers on Cape Cod, traveling the world with his wife and friends and fam- ily, attending Phillies games for over 65 years, participating in the rich cultural world all around him and trying all kinds of hob- bies and interests. He loved food and par- took of all ethnic and creative culinary experi- ences, sharing it with family and friends. He was a proud veteran and loved this country and democracy. He graduated from Central High School, Ursinus College and Thomas Jefferson Medical College. He served pa- tients for over 67 years. He was an incred- ible wealth of information, was charming and friendly, could be funny and silly, and really lived life to the fullest.

Pulwer, died peacefully at home on 11/16/20, following a long illness. She was the beloved wife of the late Murray G. Pul- wer, for 51 years. Daughter of Anna and Is- rael Hersh. Sister of the late Bernard Hersh (Mildred). Ruth is survived by her three chil- dren, Ellen (known as Cookie) Brenner (Gabe); Mitchell (Miki); and Sarah Myer (Bainish). Ruth was the proud Mommom of her 11 adored grandchildren, Jennifer Shute (Gary) , Matthew Brenner(Liz), Lauren Pul- wer (Pete), Bob Pulwer, Kess Myer (Meg), Fraida Solomon (Yossi), Yehuda Myer (Mimi), Chaya Snyder (Asher), Nechama Her- sh (Isaac), Devo Krief (Meni), Kraina Myer (fiancé Daniel). She also adored her 18 great-grandchildren: Hannah, Ethan, Jake, Maya, Nina, Mendel, Benny, Miri, Moshe, Avi, Mendy, Shimmy, Goldie, Bella, Jack, Esther, Serena, and Ella. Beloved aunt to nieces and nephews. Ruth was immensely proud of everyone in her family, and devoted to each of them. Nothing pleased her more than a boisterous family gathering! Ruth graduated from West Philadelphia High School at the age of 16. Her childhood friends, Rae, Ruth- ie and Gert, maintained their close friendship for almost 90 years. She maintained many other friendships from her youth and de- veloped many friends in many walks of life throughout the years. For the last 30 years of her life, she had a passion for swim exercise and the group of friends she formed were very dear to her heart. In the early 1980’s, Ruth opened her own business, Penn Valley Travel, at a time that many were thinking about retirement. Travel combined her love for adventure, her passion for the beauty of nature, and her curiosity about the world. Being in the travel business allowed her to see most of the world, which delighted her. She was the oldest on her African safari, when she was in her 80’s, and all marveled at her strength, enthusiasm, and tenacity. She did not miss a thing! Ruth was also active in many organizations, such as Hadassah, Na- tional Womens League, Sisterhoods in sever- al synagogues, and volunteered up until one year ago at the JCFS Food Pantry. Her calen- dar was filled with meaningful and charitable activities. She was an accomplished bala- busta, superb cook, baker, seamstress—and just about anything she set her heart to. Al- ways an animal lover, she adopted older needy rescue pets in her later years, shower- ing them with love and much needed atten- tion, as they shared their journey together. Ruth was a devoted friend. Her warmth, genuine caring, ability to listen, and wisdom made her a cherished and loved friend. She was fun and energetic and always made time for those she loved. Ruth was an extraordin- ary woman who wanted to make a difference in this world, and she certainly did so. Funer- al and shiva were private due to COVID.

Robbins, Esq., passed at the age of 89 on December 10, 2020 as a result of arm wrestling with a grizzly bear, or maybe it was from complications of Parkinsonism. Either way his dry sense of humor persisted to the end. Robert was born in Philadelphia on November 30, 1931 and raised in the Straw- berry Mansion section of town. He attended Central High School and Temple University before a stint in the U.S Army stationed in Europe. After a brief educational course in London he returned to Temple University earning a law degree (J.D.) Thus, he began a half century of legal criminal practice initially with his brother Willie and later in solo prac- tice. His fulltime law practice was delayed by the entrepreneurial success of a variety store, Marketown, around 12th and Market Sts. and then moved to 52nd and Market Sts. with his brother Melvin. Under eminent domain SEPTA took over the store's location which transitioned Robby to fulltime law practice. His athletic nature introduced him to one of his life's passion - handball. He was found 8 days a week playing handball at the Broad- wood later known as the Philadelphia Athlet- ic Club. Despite his modest beginnings as the youngest of 8 children to Russian immigrant parents he was a self-made man. He valued culture and intellect being an avid classical music and opera fan as well as a daily Cross- word puzzler. He was a man of the people who was happiest in front of a buffet. Fortu- nately, his athletic activities balanced his love of food allowing him to live a long life to share with his family and many dogs. A few months ago, he celebrated his 58th wedding anniversary with the love of his life Saundra Goldstein of Jeweler's Row. He is survived by his wife Saundra (nee Goldstein); his chil- dren Brad (Shelley) Robbins, Marlie (Kevin Gillen) Robbins and Shira (Peter Durdaller) Robbins; his loving grandchildren Johana, Lily and Arielle; and grand dogs Finch, Otis, Izzy, Bean and Lailah. He was preceded by parents Rubin and Esther Rabinowitz; sib- lings Sarah, Sam, Willie, Label, Herman, Sylvia, Melvin and grand dogs Spike, Purl, Boomer, Brittany, Jessie, Tova, Mazel, Chelsea, Tucker, Paco, Max, Schmendrick, Dobby and Rocki.

Barbara is survived by Steven, her devoted husband of 46 years, as well as her beloved children Todd (and wife Stephanie) Rosenberg, Jodie (and husband Dan) Taraborrelli. She was a blessed Bubbe to Abigail and Asher Rosen- berg, Max and Lila Taraborrelli and loving sister to Sheryl Kuperstein. A two-time sur- vivor of breast cancer, she lived life to the fullest. Whether trips to NYC with her can- cer group, summer days at Belmar, NJ, or in more recent years snow-birding in Delray Beach, FL, she embraced travel with Steve and friends and always looked forward to their next adventures. Quick to smile and al- ways enjoying a laugh, she cherished time with her fiends and was a constant presence at her weekly games of Mah-Jong and Ca- nasta. A case manager at Jewish Family & Children Services and volunteer for the Wo- men’s Cancer Research Association, Barbara cared deeply for her clients and the com- munity she served. A tirelessly devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, her family and friends were at the heart of her life well lived.

She is survived by her parents, Jay and Lisa Sandler, her sister Jenny, her aunts, uncles and cousins, and her beloved feline companion, Beedie. Rose was a world traveler, an experienced eques- trian, fisherwoman, ocean Scuba diver, and much more. She graduated from Penn State with a degree in Special Engineering, and went to work at Sikorsky Aircraft Corpora- tion in Stratford, CT. She developed a partic- ular interest in Material Science and worked with composite materials for the aerospace industry. Rose was exuberant, adventurous, fearless, and was open to learning about any- thing and everything. Among many adven- tures, she completed the Mongol Derby and rode camels in the Gobi Desert during the Mongolian winter. She also learned about PA wildflowers and mushrooms from her Mom. Her Dad got her a Sailrite heavy duty sewing machine and she enjoyed repairing torn horse blankets. When Rose wasn’t traveling, she paddled with the Hanohano Outrigger Ca- noe Club and her beloved Paddle Sisters. With that experience, she was then able to join her Aunt Meryl on the annual Pink Pad- dlers’ cancer survivors Voyage to Lanai. At a moment’s notice, her Aunt Abby in L.A. would swoop in like a Guardian Angel and stay with Rose for a week or more, helping her and taking care of anything that needed to be done. She was repeatedly dragged down by her illness, but always came out of it. She finally lost her brutal battle with De- pression. We all lost our Rose despite all the therapies and medical professionals, and our continued attention to her needs and prob- lems. For the past several years, Rose had been living in Poway, San Diego County, working for General Atomics; in July, she re- located to Pipersville to live with her parents. Because of Covid, her burial was private. She was laid to rest at Green Meadows in Foun- tain Hill, PA, a natural cemetery that will bloom with native wildflowers in the Spring. She has left her family, friends, and many others she adventured with throughout the world, bereaved and heartbroken. Rose loved volunteering with Traveling Stories, a non- profit organization dedicated to improving the reading skills of low-income kids. Donations in Rose’s memory may be made to traveling- stories.com, or to your local food pantry.

GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS www.goldteinsfuneral.com WEINSTEIN Arnold (Arnie) Weinstein born April 15, 1928 in Wynnefield, PA died of a life well lived and of heart failure with his loving family by his side on November 25, 2020. Arnie led a life that was full and truly awesome. He was loved dearly by his beautiful wife of 72 years, June Weinstein (nee Gross), their three chil- dren, Eileen Donohue, Hal Weinstein and John Weinstein as well as their spouses, nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Arnie was an entrepreneur and the consum- mate salesperson having owned his own plumbing sales agency for many years as well as being on the board of directors of many organizations within the plumbing in- dustry including being a founding member of the Philadelphia Manufacturers Representat- ive Association. His sales acumen was un- canny, and he flourished in a time when per- sonal relationships were as important as what we now call metrics. Arnie was an ex- cellent athlete having been named “All Pub- lic” while playing football at Overbrook High School and being on the varsity track and boxing teams. Arnie’s love of sports contin- ued throughout his life as he took up playing tennis winning many championships while living down the “shore” at his beloved home in Loveladies, N.J. He was also an expert ski- er and introduced many of his friends to the sport as well as all of his children. While his love of athletics was truly inspirational, he also had a passion for the theatre where he acted in many roles over the years at Allen’s Lane Art Theatre and Abington Theatre as well as being in a few TV productions. Whether playing Big Julie in Guys and Dolls, Chief Sitting Bull in Annie Get Your gun or Earthquake McGoon in Lil’ Abner he did so with aplomb. With his best friend Irv Bloom they owned the Philadelphia Playhouse and hosted many notable plays and actors. Arnie’s love of sports and theatre was only surpassed by his love of his family, espe- cially his lifetime love, June. He was ex- tremely proud of his family and their accom- plishments and let everyone around his circle of friends know this. Arnie had an amazing memory and used this to muster up his prodigious catalogue of thousands of jokes that he could recite at will. Yes, he had a great sense of humor that continued throughout his life. Arnie outlived many of his best friends and frequently had dreams of them calling him to the slopes to go skiing. Irv, Norm and Bob now have their bestest skiing buddy to join them as they “schuss” down the biggest slopes with a dusting of new powder. We will always love you and miss you Arnie, dad, daddy, poppy, Poppy Arnie!
