Rifka Rosenwein, a former managing editor of JTA, died of cancer at the age of 42. Rosenwein, of Teaneck, N.J., began her journalism career as a JTA intern. She later worked at The Wall Street Journal, American Lawyer, Brill’s Content and Inc. magazines. Most recently, she chronicled her personal life as a suburban wife and mother — as well as her battle against a rare form of cancer — as a monthly columnist for The New York Jewish Week.
