Tziporah Hartman was the wife of Rabbi David Hartman, a prominent Jewish philosopher and founder of the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem. Born in the United States, she supported her husband's immigration to Israel in 1971, along with their family, marking a significant shift from their life in New York to building a new center for Jewish thought and education in Jerusalem. Tziporah played a supportive role in the early development of the Shalom Hartman Institute, contributing to its mission of fostering pluralistic Jewish learning and dialogue. Throughout her life in Israel, she was known for her dedication to family and Jewish community, raising children who became involved in the institute's work, including son Yonatan Hartman. She embodied the values of commitment to Jewish renewal and interfaith understanding that defined her husband's legacy. Tziporah passed away in 2017, leaving a lasting impact through her partnership in advancing progressive Jewish education and philosophy.
