Jehiel entertains at the Lebersfeld-Orenstein Yom Kippur break fast, a tradition that has lasted for 40 years and counting.
I have known Rabbi & his family ever since he arrived in South Orange. One of the first times he engaged me, he asked that I perform the Cohen function at a pidyon ben. While he could not preside at my wedding ceremony, Sylvia and he attended and he was on the bimah at Beth El for the Bar Mitzvahs of Debbi’s and my three sons. He delivered moving eulogies when my parents passed away. I especially enjoyed sharing the bimah with Rabbi the one year I served as president. Sylvia, Rabbi, their children and extended family have been such an important part of our lives. No one deserves a happier birthday than Jehiel. With love from Debbi, Jason & Illana, Daniel & Allison, Brian & Lana and Max.
