Abraham Isaac Lerner was born in 1907 in Warsaw, and died in 1993 in London. With the establishment of the Abraham I. Lerner Fund for Tel Aviv University, Mr. Lerner enabled the university to offer Yiddish language instruction throughout the academic year, as well as to support MA and PhD students with their research in Yiddish related studies. Love of Yiddish language and culture motivated Mr. Lerner to become a generous donor for this cause throughout his lifetime.
