| ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois Senate are saddened to | ||||||
| 3 | learn of the death of Rabbi Barry N. Robinson of Chicago, who | ||||||
| 4 | passed away on September 12, 2018; and
| ||||||
| 5 | WHEREAS, Rabbi Robinson served as a computer programmer, an | ||||||
| 6 | adjunct professor at Northwestern University, and a Daf Yomi | ||||||
| 7 | teacher; his encyclopedic breadth of understanding of Torah and | ||||||
| 8 | Talmud, coupled with his depth of knowledge in general studies | ||||||
| 9 | and clever ways of bringing energy into the classroom, inspired | ||||||
| 10 | his students and helped him relate to them in ways other | ||||||
| 11 | teachers did not; even through surgeries and illnesses, he | ||||||
| 12 | continued to teach and inspire and never let anything get in | ||||||
| 13 | the way of his students' learning; and
| ||||||
| 14 | WHEREAS, Rabbi Robinson served as a teacher, mentor, | ||||||
| 15 | advisor, and friend; he often came to class with Dunkin' Donuts | ||||||
| 16 | or gave someone his credit card to pay for food for the whole | ||||||
| 17 | class; his warmth, smile, sense of humor, and wit drew people | ||||||
| 18 | to him; and
| ||||||
| 19 | WHEREAS, Rabbi Robinson was the loving husband of Susan N. | ||||||
| 20 | (Nathan) Robinson, the loving father of Miriam (the late Neal) | ||||||
| 21 | Stein, Rabbi NeChamia (Miriam) Robinson, Aliza (Rabbi Yakov) | ||||||
| 22 | Nadav, Rabbi Yakov (Azara) Robinson, and Rabbi Yehoshua | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | (Danielle) Robinson, and the dear grandfather and | ||||||
| 2 | great-grandfather of many; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| 3 | RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDREDTH GENERAL | ||||||
| 4 | ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we mourn the passing of | ||||||
| 5 | Rabbi Barry N. Robinson and extend our sincere condolences to | ||||||
| 6 | his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him; and be it | ||||||
| 7 | further
| ||||||
| 8 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
| 9 | presented to the family of Rabbi Robinson as an expression of | ||||||
| 10 | our deepest sympathy.
