“When our community becomes our own activists
and advocates, our legislators can’t avoid listening to
us and, in this case, investing in our safety and that
of our children,” Teach PA Executive Director Arielle
Frankston-Morris said. “We thank Gov. [Tom] Wolf
and our legislators for creating these programs, but
with the increase in hate crimes we are seeing across
the country, specifically attacks against Jews, we are
urging them to increase the security funding in a
meaningful way so that more institutions will have
access to these critical funds.”

Jeffrey B. Berlin PhD, passed away peace-
fully at home on Thursday, June 24, 2021
surrounded by his family. He will always be
known as a beloved husband, father, and
Opa, as well as an internationally-acclaimed
scholar and educator, whose courage and
persistence in the face of an ongoing debilit-
ating disease made him an inspiration to all
who knew him. The writer and editor of hun-
dreds of journal articles and 10 scholarly
books translated into multiple languages, Dr.

Berlin was a sought-after authority on Exile
literature whose access and insight into the
correspondence of German-Jewish authors
of the time portrayed, among other import-
ant themes, the struggles and determination
of those living under, escaping from, and
daring to speak out against the Nazi regime.

His piercing intellectual curiosity, combined
with a delightful, if somewhat off-beat sense
of humor, made him engaging company to
family, friends, and colleagues from many
nations. He was greatly loved and will be
dearly missed by Anne, his wife of 48 years,
his children Sam (Tara) Berlin and Rachel
(Michael) Moir, grandchildren Fiona and Re-
illy Berlin, brother Michael, granddog Luna,
and a host of loving family members and
friends around the world. Contributions in his
memory can be made to the ADL at
