Rivkah Harris was by far one of my favorite scholars I've ever interacted with. She was conscientious and careful, with an innovative mind that made her work exciting to read. Conversations with her were lively and delightful, as she was herself. My condolences to the family on their loss.

Her husband was my teacher at Spertus College many years ago and I used several of her articles on the ANE during my graduate studies. Thanks to Jack Sasson's Agade list for the news. .
