Just like the wheels on a bus,
which go round and round, life is a

to have had Yael as my rabbi during my "silver" age. Know my heart follows you as you continue to build the Jewish People on a different stage. Mazel tov Yael "al hakol" with much love. May you continue to be blessed by the One Above.
