The loss of Esther saddens the Class of 1982. She graduated early from Ramaz High School in New York and started college at Cornell University, then took a leave of absence in the spring of her freshman year to pursue Judaic-Hebraic studies at Yeshiva University. She transferred to Princeton in 1980, joining our class as a sophomore. At Princeton, she reunited with schoolmates from Ramaz, one of whom remembered that “I have clear memories of Esther smiling and always being so kind and humble.” Esther majored in religion and dined at Cloister Inn. She returned to New York after college.

Esther died Oct. 9, 2024.
