FISHMAN, MIRIAM -
Miriam Fishman, of Lake Peekskill, died August 24, 2006, at the age of 73.
She was born in the Bronx, New York, on June 15, 1933, to Rabbi Moses and Anna Schneider. She was one of seven children, Rabbi Schlomo Schneider(deceased), Sara Schwartz, Minnie Mason, Rebecca Rudman, Beatrice Lashkin, and Malka Borenstein.
Her father, Moses, was a renowned Talmudic scholar and served as the spiritual leader of Beth Abraham Hospital in the Bronx for nearly 60 years.
Miriam's mother, Anna, was a talented writer and public speaker, and published works of prose and poetry.
Miriam met her husband, Jack, in the Bronx, as they were neighbors.
At the age of 16, Miriam began dating Jack, and love soon developed.
They married in November 1953 and quickly began a family. Early on in their marriage they had three children, Joy, Cheryl, Jeffrey and resided in a modest apartment in the Bronx.
Jack, then a member of the national guard, was stationed in the Putnam area.
Miriam and Jack fell in love with the rural beauty of Putnam and decided to move from the Bronx to Lake Peekskill in 1957.
Three years later, their daughter Susan was born.
They had resided in the same home for 50 years, and have been married for 53 years.
In their 40's Miriam and Jack's love of children prompted them to add two more welcomed additions to their family, Amy and Michael.
Although there is a twenty-one year age span between their oldest and youngest children, thanks to Miriam's nurturing and loving nature, and skill as a mother, all six of her children are extremely close to one another.
Miriam was further blessed by 11 grandchildren, Allison, Melissa, Lindsey, Stefanie, Rachel, Jenny, Michelle, Mark, Joey, Matthew, and Jared, whom she loved with all of her heart.
She truly enjoyed and cherished the company of her family and considered her role as both mother and grandmother one of her greatest accomplishments.
Miriam was always a great humanitarian. As a child, she would spend much of her free time caring for the patients of the Beth Abraham Hospital, where her father served as the spiritual leader.
As an adult, she would often recall the impact of volunteering for those less fortunate than herself. "As a young girl, living with six other siblings, I often wanted new shoes for myself, until I saw those at the Beth Abraham Hospital who had no feet," Miriam remarked many times to her children.
It was this sense of insightness and selflessness that made Miriam Fishman a true gem of a person, mother, wife and friend. During this Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, may Miriam's gentle, kind and righteous spirit live on through those who knew and loved her.
