Dr. Martin Avi Hurwitz was born December 13, 1938 to Allen and Regina Hurwitz in Syracuse, New York. Despite not having a formal Yeshiva education, he had the opportunity to study Torah with local Rabbis and teachers, graduated as valedictorian in high school and attended Syracuse University. He graduated with high honors from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1963. Dr. Hurwitz maintained a private psychiatric practice in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. His patients appreciated his tremendous dedication, time, and expert care that he gave them. Many traveled from various parts of the tri-state area for his expertise. He often helped with ethical issues as well as medical care. He is sorely missed by his loving family and patients. This lectureship is sponsored by his brother Dr. David Hurwitz (YU '72, AECOM '75), sister-in-law Barbara and extended family.
