Funeral Details

Mark Tannenbaum
Moshe Mordechai ben Fischel Simcha
May 8, 1953 – November 15, 2025
With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Mark "T" Tannenbaum, a lifelong Chicagoan whose life was defined by an unwavering commitment to the Jewish community, the land of Israel, and a love of Torah and mitzvot. Born and raised in Chicago, "T" spent his defining years at Camp Moshava Wild Rose and the Hebrew Theological College, before going on Hachsharah with Shevet Moriah, who remained some of his dearest friends. For over 35 years, "T" ran a beloved annual Pesach program, Weekend Connections, creating a place where families could celebrate the holiday with meaning, joy, and community. His meticulous care, personal touch, and deep sense of responsibility made the program a cherished tradition for countless participants.
"T" was a proud and active supporter of Israel, Mizrachi, Camp Moshava, and the RZA/RZC. He poured his energy into strengthening the institutions and values he held dear. His work with the CRC and years spent teaching at Cong. Beth Shalom reflected the same spirit—thoughtful, diligent, and always motivated by a desire to contribute to the Jewish people. "T"'s kindness, generosity, and steadfast commitment left an indelible mark on his family, friends, and the broader community. He is survived by his three children Ranan (Shira), Eitan (Batya), and Miri (Eli) and his grandchildren, Theo, Ilan, Margo, and Ezra.
May his memory be for a blessing. Arrangements by Chicago Jewish Funerals - Skokie Chapel, 847.229.8822, www.cjfinfo.com.
