Abstract

An Encyclopaedia Judaica and other reference works valued at $1500 will be added to the Jessie Webb Library at Melbourne University in memory of the late Rachel Jakobowicz.

The books are being presented by a group of her friends and colleagues led by Neal Edwards.

Rachel Jakobowicz died in Melbourne last October and althoughmany friends gathered at the Melbourne Chevra Kadisha Cemetery, Springvale for her funeral, there was not a single relative or family member present.
. . .
Her friends recall her as having a dry wit and self-deprecating
sense of humour.She took pleasure in the company of other professional women in the congenial surroundings of the Lyceum Club.In later years she also belonged to B'nai B'rith. Friends recall a simple but charmingly dressed figure, wisps of white hair gently drifting from a carefully pinned chignon who bustled around bestowing affection and good sense on friends, neighbours and the cat.
