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

Shirley Ruth Hecklin (nee Goldberg) passed
away on May 27, 2021 after a courageous
three-month battle with COVID-19 that
showed all of us her tremendous inner
strength and determination. Shirley was born
December 31, 1936 to Abraham Jacob Gold-
berg and Alice Goldberg (nee Whiser) in New
Orleans. She grew up and attended Fortier
High School and Louisiana State University,
graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in
music. She met her future husband, Oscar
Bernard (O.B) Hecklin, on a blind date; he
was doing his orthopaedic residency in New
Orleans. They were married in 1962 and
moved to Wyncote, outside of Philadelphia,
where O. B. joined a thriving orthopaedic
practice as a surgeon. Shirley was prede-
ceased by her husband O.B. in 1991, and by
her son Lawrence (Larry) Evan (Mindi) earli-
er this year. She is survived by her daughter
Brenda Suzanne and her brother Myron Saul
Goldberg (Marcie). She treasured her two
grandsons, Jacob Andrew Hecklin and
Joshua David Hecklin. Shirley had an enga-
ging, warm smile and always a kind word.

She was proud of her Southern Jewish roots.

She loved when her drawl was recognized
and acknowledged and enjoyed her grits as a
girl raised in the South. Shirley's musical tal-
ent brought joy to her family, friends and
community. She performed piano for many
years and was a beloved teacher. She was
known to accompany her daughter Brenda, a
classically trained singer, at home and at out-
side events. She is now an angel in heaven
watching over us, in the arms of her beloved
husband, O.B., and reunited with her son,
Larry. She will be missed forever-and always
in our hearts. Contributions in Shirley's
