Passover is right around the corner, and after a long COVID separation, Erica, mom, and I are looking forward to sitting down with my cousin Candi and her family at their sedar table, a place where we have many times recounted our fond memories of Passover with Rhoda and Arthur. Such strong memories (tons of food, family, laughing, arguing, listening, learning, searching for the afikoman, the distribution of gelt!)...memories that helped to shape who we are today. Thank you Rhoda and Arthur. Love to Andy, Carol, and Nancy.

Rhoda took care of me when I was a dental student at UCHC, pregnant with m6y first child. Her practical attitude and matter of fact sympathy were very welcome and very helpful. Her warm smile always earned an equally warm response. My thanks for her care that I still remember many, many years later. May her memory be for a blessing.

What a great lady we have lost. My sincere condolences to all the family. Estelle Sherry

My daughters, Erica and Yohanna Willheim and I were truly sorry not to be able to drive to Hartford for Rhoda's funeral today, and we send our love and heartfelt condolences to Andy, Carol and Nancy.
Rhoda was a relative of my nother Micki Savin, as they were both descended from Ruchel and Michael Slossberg who arrived in Norwich in the 1880's from Svensiony in Lithuania.

For years we went to Rhoda and Arthur's for Pesach, and we have wonderful memories of those evenings. Although I can remember Rhoda as having very strong opinions, she possessed a great joyous zest for life, and it was always a treat to be in her company.

What I remember above all else, though, is that Rhoda and Arthur were part of the coteries of West Hartford Jewish couples who wanted the Emanuel Synagogue to open a West Hartford branch in the 1950's, alas, to no avail. Along with my parents, Isadore and Micki Savin, The breakaway group included the Feinsteins, Leon and Ethel Sondik, Arthur and Pearl Weinstein, Gil and Ann Kaplan, Helen and Lou Chernoff, Harry and Ruth Kleinman, and perhaps some others that I cannot remember. I do recall clearly the night they all sat around our dining room table to discuss whether or not to hire Rabbi Stanley Kessler! Of course they made the right decision!

Rhoda and Arthur were both intelligent, vigorous members of the Jewish community and have left a exemplary legacy for us all.

My sincere condolences to the Feinstein family. Your Mom was one classy lady and I admired her greatly. Her presence will definitely be missed in my thoughts. May her name be only for a blessing.

We extend our deepest condolences to all of Rhoda's dear ones.
We are sorry for your loss.
Arlene and Dan Neiditz

Rhoda was one of the nicest and sweetest ladies I had the pleasure of working with when I was auxiliary president. So very sorry . My sincere sympathies to the family but I bet you have wonderful memories. Merle Bernstein

So much of my childhood was spent in the Feinstein home that I still feel as if the Feinstein family is my family. Rhoda demonstrated her loyalty to the Aaron family not only hosting meals and overnights but with the bedside nursing care she provided for Ethel and Debbie for many in-hospital days and nights. We will miss her.

Rhoda was Chair of Federation 's Women's Division. I remember when Judy Rosenthal and I recruited Rhoda for this position and she was stunned! " why me ?" This was an example of Rhoda's humility and honesty.
She was a gem and a dear friend and gave of herself so generously . Rhoda was also a perfect foil to her beloved Arthur- a calm to his curmudgeon. She was driven by values and a clear sense of the Jewish world. She will be missed. Cindy and Jay

Rhoda was a great lady who we had the hinor of working with on many Federation committees and campaigns. She was an asset to the Jewish community and to her fellow human beings and will be missed. Our condolences to the family.
