Robyn Paige Novick, a cherished mother, daughter, wife, sister, aunt, and dedicated Jewish educator, peacefully passed away on July 19th, 2026. She was born in Washington, D.C., daughter to Peter Novick and Judith Sapir. Robyn earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and earned a master’s degree in Jewish Studies from the Siegel College of Jewish Studies.

She later dedicated over 20 years of her life to Kol Halev, a community she held close to her heart.
