MIRIAM FERRARO

Our family is deeply saddened to share the passing of Rabbi Miriam (Mimi) Polin Ferraro on October 29, 2021. After a long and courageous fight with cancer, and with her family surrounding her, she left peacefully on Friday evening, just before Shabbat. She is survived by husband Stephen Ferraro, daughters Jocelyn (Zachary)Spitz, Allyson (Zachary) Beyer, Erica Ferraro, son Benjamin Ferraro, and grandsons Owen and Dylan Spitz. Mimi is also survived by her sisters Carol (Yossi) Sheffer, and Sandra (Michael) Goldberg, her nieces and nephews, and their families. Mimi received her Bachelor's Degree in Music Therapy from Temple University, her Master's degree, as well as her Doctorate in Jewish Education from Gratz College, and her Rabbinic degree from Reconstructing Judaism (formerly known as Reconstructionist Rabbinical College). Among her many accomplishments, she was heavily involved in the Jewish community for most of her life. She will be greatly missed for her devotion to her family, friends, and the Jewish community. Her funeral service will be held on Tuesday, November 2, 2021 at 1 PM at Goldstein's in Southampton, Pa. Burial will be held privately. We encourage everyone to participate in her Funeral and Shiva services via live streaming. Shiva will be Tuesday through Thursday evenings at 7:30 PM, please check Facebook for Shiva zoom links. All donations in Mimi's memory can be made to Fox Chase Cancer Center or the Amanda Sham Resource Center at Old York Road Temple Beth Am. Our family takes great comfort in knowing that Mimi is no longer in pain. May she forever be remembered for her humor, warmth, wisdom, courage, and strength, and may she forever rest peacefully.
