We are blessed to have you guide our family through our life events.  We are inspired by your encyclopedic knowledge of Judaism, your wisdom and our long friendship with you and David.  What you have accomplished in 25 years of dedication and leadership is far more than the sum of its parts.  May your retirement journey be colored by a rainbow of fulfillment and nature adventures.

Love, Linda & Bob Morgenstern-Robbins, Susan (z"l), Sam & David Friedman
