My sincere condolences to the Rothschild family. Tova was my children's teacher and my colleague at Skokie Solomon Schechter. Her teaching and artistry made a tremendous impact on so many. May her memory be a blessing. Barbara Minkus

Although I did not get to spend nearly as much time with Tova as I would have liked, I enjoyed every minute we spent together. She was kind intelligent, loving and fun to be around. We laughed a lot but also talked about issues that matter most in life. My condolences go out to her family and friends.

Tova always loved to analyze the names of characters in books we read in the book club, or during our Bible studies. Her interpretations brought evocative, and Revealing aspects of the characters we discussed.
Tova, your name needs no interpretations. Tov means good, and you were pure goodness. Always kind, willing to help, assist, give advice, and teach making the world a better place.

Dear friends,
Our sincere condolences. Tova was among the first to welcome us to Highland Park. We shared neighborhood tales from Bnei Brak and celebrated together joyous family life events. We lost a good friend…

טובה יקרה, זוכרת אני אותך כאמא נהדרת לתלמידי, וכמורה נפלאה לנכדיי
תמיד הערצתי אותך כאדם משכיל ומעניין
חושבת אני עליך בהרבה חיבה והערכה
תהא נשמתך צרורה בצרור החיים

Sending so much love to your entire family. May Tova's memory continue to be a blessing to all that she touched and knew her and may her beautiful, sparkly light continue to shine through all of you. I feel so blessed to have known her, first when she worked at Camp Ramah our Solelim summer rolling herself on the kikar in her wheelchair and later as we grew into adulthood. You could see her pride just a few weeks ago in the community that Tomer has built through our Nivo '88 reunions - a community that is showing up right now to love and support Tomer and all of you. It was beautiful to watch how Tova got to see it and feel it - that Camp Ramah love and connection that has built so many positive Jewish identities. What a gift. I am all holding all of you extra close and know how much we love and are here for you. Elisa Heiligman Recht

צר לי מאד על אבדנה של טובה , אישה חמימה יקרה ואמיצה מוכשרת ואהובה על כלנו בקהילה הישראלית בשיקגו, . אוהבת את מיכאל ואת שאר בני משפחתה.
היכרתיה בראשית בואנו לשיקגו, זכורים לי הוריה ובמיוחד אשיותו החמימה של אביה
וטובה היא אבדה אישית ואבדה לכלנו בקהילת ובמיוחד לידידותיה בחוג הספר העברי בשיקגוץ היא תחסר לכלנו
תהא נפשה צרורה בצרור החיים בגן עדן תהא נשמתה

To the family of my "almost twin" (we were born one day apart and used to celebrate our birthdays together). I deeply appreciate the paper cut artwork that Tova created for our 40th wedding anniversary, which beautifully incorporated our two names into the design. I remember so fondly the monthly Bible Portion studying sessions that Tova organized for many years. And the many wonderful group gatherings at the Rothschild home that she has organized! Her spirit, energy, creativity, friendship, sense of humor, caring, and love will always be remembered.

This tribute was a beautiful reflection on Tova’s joy, strength, dedication to community and Judaism, and most importantly her love of family. She is beaming with pride, no doubt. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️

Dear Leeatt, Micky, and all your family,
We send you love and deepest condolences on the passing of your mother, Tova. We remember her from years ago, when we met her, and experienced her warmth and energy. Those qualities and more helped her to be with everyone at Dalia's wedding, and to celebrate this event as she had shared so many in the past. Losing a mother is very hard, but the good thoughts and memories of her, as well as her good advice, will be with you always.
May your mother's memory bring you blessing, and may we meet you again on happy occasions.
All our love,
Meri-Jane and Joel
