Dear Rabbi,
When Ivan and I moved to South Orange, our son Eric needed a “friend” at shul and you became his. You told him it was your shul, and if he needed anything he should come to you. What a gift that was for him, because he always looked forward to Shabbos and spending time in your shul. Thank you for that and for all the other times, during simchas and sadness, when you were there for us and our family.
Wishing you a very happy birthday.
Frema & Ivan Sobel and family
