In honor of the 5774 Consecration Class
I have truly lived a blessed life. I have a wonderful husband !"#$%#&'()*+#,-)''#,'))./#0#*!1*#
and daughters-in-law and four of the most beautiful and brilliant grandchildren that have ever walked the earth (no prejudice here!). In addition, I’ve been privileged to have found a congregational home at Beth Torah for 24 years.
My special blessing was to have been a teacher, youth group advisor and Religious School and Youth Groups Director for most of these 24 years. How many religious school directors are fortunate enough to have faculty members who were consecrants at their school, or who have teens on the youth group board whose parents were youth groupers when they served as advisor? I’ve attended weddings of former students and britot milah of children of former students. I thank each of you – parents, students, teachers, volunteers - for your support in making my career at Beth Torah so wonderful. I wish I could list every name here and write each of you a personal note.

We have an award-winning faculty. Our Madrichim have been nationally cited for their dedication. Our youth program provides a warm environment in which our teens thrive. AND we have the most supportive and hard-working parents of any congregation. I know we will certainly continue to grow for many years to come. It’s tradition to say ”Chazak, chazak, v’nitchazek - Be strong, be strong, and may we be strengthened!” when we complete a book of Torah. I think it’s also appropriate to say this as I complete this chapter of my life.
