Rose instilled a sense of Jewish activism in her children. Rose Jacobs' son, Joshua, died on August 18, 2012, at the age of 91. Throughout his life, he supported Israel as well as Jewish causes. His sister, Ruth, died a few years before that. I believe that Ruth was the second girl to Bat Mitzvah in the United States.
