Raised in Newbury, Ohio, Trish worked as a teacher at Troy Elementary School in Burton and had no exposure to Cleveland’s Jewish community until she met Rob in 1996.  Every Chanukah while they were dating, Rob would visit Trish’s 3^rd grade class to read Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins as a way to expose her students to Jewish culture.  It was also a great way to woo his ladyJ!  Trish and Rob were married at Temple Israel Ner Tamid in 2005 and have chosen to raise their two sons, Nathan and Noah, in a Jewish home.  “Meeting Rob was beshert --  meant to be” enthuses Trish, who loves baking for the Jewish holidays and leading her family’s weekly Shabbat rituals.  The Rismans were warmly welcomed at Fairmount Temple Preschool, which led to involvement in a wonderful playgroup and a genuine sense of belonging.  Participating in Camp Wise’s Mom’s Camp  has enabled Trish to experience Jewish camping and further connect to the community.  Born in California, Trish believes that Cleveland is the best place to raise a family and enjoy all four seasons.  Favorite fall outings include visiting Patterson Fruit Farm and walking in the Chagrin River in Bentleyville.  Connect with Trish!
