It is with great sadness that we record the death of Mordecai Briemberg on the 29th of June 2021 just twelve days before his 83rd birthday.
His wife, Elizabeth, and his two children, Hannah and Joshua, and their families will all miss him dearly. Mordecai lived a very productive life. He was the only child, born in Edmonton, Alberta to Bessie and Sam Briemberg.
He graduated from the University of Alberta and was awarded a Rhodes scholarship. He spent the next two years at Oxford University, England where he met his wife and started the political activism which he sustained throughout his life for many causes but always in the cause of Social Justice. He also did doctoral studies at the University of Berkeley, California before returning to Canada and teaching at Simon Fraser University and Douglas College.
A memorial gathering will be held on 16th July 2021 in Burnaby.
