ADINI BELLER
BRENNER Dr. Uziel (Uzi) Adini, age 83, of Philadelphia,
PA, passed away on May 27, 2021 after a
long battle with Leukemia. Uzi was born on
June 23, 1937 to Leah and Yisrael Adini in
pre-state Israel. He was raised in Tel-Aviv. He
served as a sergeant in the Israeli Defense
Forces in the heavy artillery unit. In 1962, he
married Tamar Löw, and together they had
two daughters, Ronit and Tali. Uzi earned a
B.A. and an M.A. degree in the complement-
ary fields of Bible, Hebrew Literature and
Education, at the Hebrew University of Jerus-
alem. He earned his Ed.D degree at Dropsie
College in Philadelphia, PA. Uzi was one of
the most renowned authorities on Jewish
Education in the United States. Following 23
years as the Director of the Jewish Com-
munity High School of Gratz College, he
served as Vice President and then as a Pro-
fessor of Education and Literature at Gratz
College. An inspirational teacher, Dr. Adini
had a profound impact on generations of stu-
dents who remember him with affection and
respect. Beyond his professional achieve-
ments, Uzi earned a well-justified reputation
as a person of empathy, humor, warmth, and
stirring intellect. He was beloved as a col-
league, mentor, teacher, friend, spouse, fath-
er and grandfather. We will all miss his viva-
cious personality, amazing story telling and
generous smile. Uzi is survived by his wife
Tamar, daughters Ronit (Jeff) and Tali (Yoni),
and granddaughters Shira, Arielle, Ilana and
Amalia; and his brother Ami Adini. Donations
