THEODORE LERNER Obituary

LERNER--Theodore N. "Ted." American Friends of the Hebrew University (AFHU) and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) are deeply saddened by the passing of business leader, Washington Nationals owner, and philanthropist Ted Lerner (z"l). As head of the Lerner Family Foundation, Mr. Lerner was a generous supporter of nonprofit organizations in Israel and the United States, including those focused on Holocaust history, education, and human health. His philan-thropy and involvement advanced several community agencies and Jewish organizations in the Washington, DC area. Mr. Lerner and his family have been long- standing advocates for HU and dedicated patrons of the Annette and Theodore Lerner Family Indoor Sports Complex. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Annette; his son, Mark Lerner (Judy); his daughters, Debra Lerner Cohen (Edward) and Marla Lerner Tanenbaum (Robert); his nine grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. May they be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Daniel I. Schlessinger, Chair of the Board of Governors; Professor Asher Cohen, President; Professor Menahem Ben-Sasson, Chancellor; American Friends of the Hebrew University, Marc Mayer, Chair of the Board of Directors; Clive Kabatznik, President; Joshua Rednik, Chief Executive Officer; William J. Kilberg, President, Mid-Atlantic Region

To you, your mom, & siblings, please convey our condolences on the passing of Ted. In the few times we were in his company, he was always welcoming and gracious to us. We will long remember celebrating your parents milestone anniversary in your parlor at the stadium, June 18, 2001(?). May his memory forever be a blessing to you, the family, and Am Israel. Marty & Millie
