To our Children- 

Sarah, Ally and Jackson

We love watching you continue the tradition

started by your great grandmother. We are so proud

of all that you've each accomplished for EMUNAH

at such a young age- from donating your birthday presents,

performing in benefit concerts, raising money through bake sales

and card sales, and dedicating your summer to working with children

at risk in Israel- we can't wait to see where you go from here. 

Thank you for making us feel like the luckiest parents

and for inspiring us to always do better.

 

We love you more than anything. 

Mommy and Daddy

In honor of my daughter's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren

 

You represent the next links in the chain, the next generation of chesed.

 

Your beloved grandfather, Leibel a"h and I

could not be prouder of you and know you truly are

the greatest source of our nachat.

 

It is my wish that Hashem grant of all of you good health

and the opportunity and ability to continue a rich Jewish legacy of chesed

and dedication to EMUNAH and Klal Yisroel.

 

 

Love you xoxox
