Baruch Dayan Haemet. We are heartbroken by the sudden passing of our colleague, friend and mentor, Elliot Wolf.
Elliot was a true gentleman and a mensch. A man of integrity, consistency, and fierce loyalty, who dedicated his life to King David Schools and Jewish education.
At 85 years old, he was still using his passion and extraordinary memory to spend his workdays reconnecting with former pupils around the world. A keen gardener, Elliot nurtured plants and young minds alike. He devoted his entire life to King David Schools, impacting generations of Davidians.
Countless alumni saw Mr. Wolf as a father figure, as he championed both high achievers and those who were struggling. Elliot was every bit as passionate and pedantic about excellence in Jewish education when he first started as a teacher at King David Linksfield in 1968, as he was as Deputy Head in 1969, as Headmaster from 1974 until 2001, and as Director of the King David Schools’ Foundation from 2002.
We wish Jeffrey, his beloved identical twin, and Barbara, his devoted sister-in-law, and the entire family a long life and comfort during this difficult time. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten. His memory and legacy are indeed a blessing for us all.
