Description French Canadian - accent in English ok. Great character. One of a very few from outside of the faith who has Rabbi Rosen's ear and trust. Close friend of the family, was Dhana's bff when they were kids. It is Clare who is the 'back channel' to Dhana for the Rebetzin, for the Rabbi, even for Rebecca. Great energy and character.

| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Rebetzin Rosen aka Ima | Female 55 - 65 Years old |
Description Rabbi Rosen's wife. While the Rabbi is a big deal, the Rabbi's wife is also very important and plays a big role in the family, more often than not, behind the scenes. It is for the Rebetzin that this family reunion is happening. Not just because it is Passover, but because the Rebetzin has something to tell the family. That and in the end, it is she who decides when this 'mishigas' (craziness or nonsense) of estrangement with their daughter is over. | ||
