With great sadness we mourn the passing on January 9, 2026 of Barbara Wertheimer, a long-time member of our Production Team who designed and painted sets and most recently played the role of "Grandma" in our 2022 production of "The Addams Family".

Barbara is survived by her partner, Ira Grindlinger, and her loving family. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 13, 2026 at 11:00 AM at Congregation Adath Jeshurun (Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86933139182?pwd=paZiTAct865nCRqwlQ5siKH6e0Yhqv.1), with interment to follow at Montefiore Cemetery, 600 Church Road, Jenkintown, PA.

Shiva will be observed Tuesday following interment at the late residence, with Minyan at 7:00 PM.
