עֲשֵׂה לְךָ רַב, וּקְנֵה לְךָ חָבֵר
Pirke Avot 1:6 teaches in the name of
Yehoshua ben Perachia: "Make for yourself a rav--
rabbi, mentor, teacher--and acquire for yourself a friend." Yael, your wisdom, gentle guidance, creative spirit, and soulful leadership have enriched our Kehillah in countless ways and have deeply impacted my own life. Thank you for being our, and my, teacher and friend. We will miss you so--but we can't wait to watch your soar!
With tremendous love and appreciation,
