Mort Litwack In Memoriam

In Memory of Morton Litwack, PhD.


On the morning of December 11, 2009, Morton "Mort" Litwack. PhD. passed away peacefully.

We all remember Mort as a unique individual with a vast amount of knowledge and wisdom that befitted his maturity and advanced education. As a lifelong student and teacher, we remember Mort for his ability to reach out and share his wealth of information through his teaching and for his enthusiasm for life. Mort was also an active real estate and securities investor, managing a sizable portfolio.

Maintaining his sense of independence and self-image upon receiving ordination as a minister, Mort insisted on the title "Rabbi" in honor of his heritage and faith.

Mort is survived by his extensive family and those who were equally blessed as his friends, colleagues and students.

  1. I remember Mort as a very intelligent, patient, well educated man, who happened to have a great sense of humor. He loved to teach others and be mentor to others. His yearning to learn made him a very good student as well. I believe he is in a much better place, for he is being received now by the Lord. His story and joke telling were humorous and always had a message or point. Rest In Peace Mort, you helped your fellow man and people respected and admired you for this.....:(

  3. I have to add something. I didn't want to at first but I feel compelled now.

    A few years back, Mort mentioned to Bill Duby (SRF's founder) that a portion of his estate will be donated to SRF when Mort passes. Bill's response: "Why don't you give it to me now? You can't take it with you."

    I'm not sure what Mort left to SRF but I would think twice about sending a donation to SRF in Mort's name.

    Send it to a local charity instead. The Sacred Heart Community Service in San Jose serves thousands of needy families and would welcome your donation.
