Thursday May 7, 2026 Letter from Rabbi Ross Dear TBS Friends & Family, This week there have been two important losses in our community on Wednesday.. We send love and condolences to Drew and Blythe Dallet on the loss of Drew’s mother, Debbie. Debbie Dallets’s funeral will be this Sunday. We also send blessings to Piper and Quinn on the loss of their grandmother. Piper has been a wonderful teen aide in our school this year. Quinn finished his sophomore year at Michigan State. We also learned yesterday that Rabbi Rosie Haim died of breast cancer. Her funeral is Friday at 2:30 pm at Park Synagogue. Rosie served TBS as a student rabbi for a few years. She met her future husband while she was here. She was a treasure in our community, and will be sadly missed. This Friday is our special Israel Shabbat. We will be joined by a special guest, Shahaf Palas, the Israel fellow for Hillel at Kent State. Shahaf will talk about life here, and after the services she will give us an update about her family in Be’er Sheva as they have navigated the Iran war for the past 2 months.
