Congregation Beth Israel mourns the loss of Lynn Lertzman, z”l, who passed away on Mar. 3, 2026, at the age of 89.

Lynn is survived by her daughters, Renee Lertzman and Karin Basart; her two grandchildren, Dice and Temma; and her sister, Sandra Maitri. Lynn moved to Portland from Northern California in 2003 with her husband, Alan Lertzman, z”l, who passed away in 2018. They found community at Congregation Beth Israel and were active members of the congregation.

Lynn lived the principles of Tikkun Olam through her kindness, avid volunteering, and lifelong commitments to peace and the environment.

A Celebration of Life will be held Wednesday, Apr. 15, 2026, at 1 PM at the Robison Jewish Health Center Chapel. Donations in memory can be made to the family’s GoFundMe to help cover caregiving costs.
