TOGUT
of Dr. John Togut and the late Dr. Myra Togut; cherished sister of David (Tracy) Togut, and Sharon (Michael) Pollack; daughter-in-law of Ethel Zaremba and the late Morris Zaremba.
Deborah Togut was born in Cleveland. As a child she lived in Japan where her father served as a surgeon during the Viet Nam War. In Tokyo, she attended nursery school and became fluent in Japanese. Throughout her life she retained a love for all things Japanese and later majored in Asian Studies at Cornell University.
Upon return to the US at the age of six, Judaism began to play a greater role in her life when her family joined synagogues in Massachusetts. When it came time to study for bat mitzvah, Deborah was given a rare opportunity for women; to chant from the Torah and haftarah. Ten summers were spent at Camp Ramah in New England, developing her love for Judaism and fluency in Hebrew.
Upon receiving her BA, she pursued a career in Japanese business, with a US base in Chicago. While there, she also joined a Conservative congregation where she read Torah weekly and taught b'nai mitzvah.
A search for a more meaningful career led Deborah to study at the Cantors Institute of The Jewish Theological Seminary. Short- ly after graduation in 1997, an opening for a Ritual Director at B'nai Israel Congre- gation brought Hazzan Togut to Rockville. For the past 11 years, she enjoyed serving the community in general, teaching the membership new synagogue skills, and helping children form their Jewish identity. She appreciated all the friendships she and her family developed with members of the congregation and she will be greatly missed.
