DOV ZLOTNICK Obituary

ZLOTNICK--Dov. The Jewish Theological Seminary mourns the loss of Professor Emeritus Dov Zlotnick (z"l), who taught Rabbinic Literature at JTS for approximately half a century. He will be remembered for his writings on the Mishnah, close ties to Saul Lieberman, and lifelong dedication as a teacher.

Dear Alice,
Rachel and I were very saddened to learn of the passing of your dear husband, Prof. Dov Zlotnick. I feel privileged to have known you both since we all moved into Morningside Gardens in 1957, when you were my Imma's best friend. I remember as a child your husband proudly showing me his military uniform.
Your husband had a profound impact on many generations of students at JTS, in Riverdale and in Israel. I enjoyed seeing him when you attended Bnai Yeshurun in Teaneck from time to time.

We hope to visit with your children sitting shiva in Teaneck.
