I met Rabbi Orenstein when he was in Great Neck for one year covering a sabbatical. I lost both of my uncles in Great Neck within months of each other. When the second one died Rabbi Orenstein was already at Beth El and we took my mother there to say Kaddish for her brother. It was the beginning of a long relationship which has been so fulfilling for me. In your honor, I will support the SOMA Independent Minyan’s daily minyan once a week.
