Rabbi Weizenbaum welcomed me in to the Jewish faith when I converted before my marriage. He performed my wedding in 1977 as well as both of my children's baby naming ceremonies. He was very much respected and admired by myself and my children. My daughter used to think his name was spelled "Wise-enbaum" because she thought he was such a wise Rabbi. I will always remember his moving sermon after the assassination of Egypt's leader Amwar Sadat. Rabbi Weizenbaum will be greatly missed, but always remembered.
