The loss of a ‘legend’
The passing of Dr. Walter Jacob, Rabbi Emeritus of Rodef Shalom Congregation, is the loss of a legend and profound sorrow for the community (“Rabbi Walter Jacob dies at 94,” Nov. 1).

Dr. Jacob presided over my confirmation in 1972.

For decades, Walter Jabob served the temple that he loved with distinction, dignity and scholarship. He suffered many tragedies in his life, but nothing could dim his involvement in the life of the congregation and the affection that he had for his synagogue and congregants.
