    I am so sad to hear the sad news. Ms. Rosenfeld a”h was an inspiring teacher of Chumash and Ivrit. She was deliberate and demanding that we get the details right. She taught us language through song, and I have a find memory of her starting to sing during one pre-Song and Dance Festival practice. Ms. Rosenfeld was considerate of each individual student’s feelings. She made time for a kumzits at a Chanukah Chagigah because I begged for it. I was also impressed with the way she cared for her elderly mother.
