Moreh Moshe,

Your legacy will live on through all of the children you have inspired under your leadership.

 

We wish you the best and will miss you!!!

 

Mazal Tov, Moshe!
Thank you for bringing joy to Jewish learning. You had us at "shalom" the day we interviewed with you. You and your guitar taught all who entered the doors of GRTWA to enthusiastically embrace Jewish education and a love of Israel.

Our family will be forever grateful for the education our boys received, the community we were welcomed into and the lifelong friends we made.

To My Brother-in-Law, Moshe

Congratulations on your retirement!

More time to watch the Yankees. Enjoy!

 

 

Moreh Moshe, mazal tov on this richly deserved honor.
You have poured your heart into Gottesman RTW Academy for so many years - building relationships, nurturing Jewish identity, and growing an institution that reflects your vision and your values. The warmth and dedication you have brought to this work lives in every corner of this school community.

Thank you for welcoming me so generously into this community. Your graciousness during this transition has meant a great deal to me! May this next chapter be pure nachas - the joy of watching everything you planted continue to bloom, without the weight of tending it alone.

 

Mazel Tov, Moreh Moshe, on your retirement
and on 30 dedicated years of teaching and
leadership at HAMC/GRTWA!

It was such a joy to learn from you in so many
ways and appreciate all of your silly jokes
during my years at the school.

You related so well to the students and had
such passion and personality.

I hope one of your clones will stay behind at
the school to teach future students.

You always liked to say, "I'm so good, I
should be cloned!"

Dear Moshe
From the moment you arrived Temple Beth Shalom in Livingston -
We understood that you are a special person, full of energy and a passion for teaching.
You were dedicated to your studies, showed interest in every new material that came your way, and it was clear that for you, sky is the limit. The children grew attached to you and to your energetic and inspiring personality. You invested in learning to play the guitar, and began playing together with the music teacher at the musical events held at the synagogue.From there, your path continued to soar. We wish you much success in your new journey. Enjoy this new chapter in your life together with your beloved wife Beth
and your sons, Roy and Jesse.
With friendship, appreciation, and much love,

 

 

Mazal Tov to Dr. Moshe Vaknin on your well-deserved honor. May You Go From Strength to Strength.
