Memorial Tribute

In Tribute to My Dear Husband, the Love of My Life
RABBI MOSHE GOTTESMAN ZTL
I present an edited copy of his last address,
at his retirement
 
It is as appropriate today as it was then,
on September 20, 2000
 
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
With the help of G-d, who has given me strength and vision, I have made my major life's contribution at HANC. Together with my colleagues, we have raised generations of outstanding young women and men, who have taken their place, in all walks of life throughout the United States, Israel and far flung countries of the world. Hardly a day goes by that I do not hear about the accomplishments, the successes, the achievements in business, in professions and in learning and the good deeds and friendship of our HANC students. And what a special nachas it is to walk from class to class and find the second generation, children of our children, happy, smiling and learning Torah. To me it means that the tree we planted has taken root,
has blossomed and bears fruit.
(continued)
 
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
There has not been a waking moment in the past 41 years that HANC was not part of my thoughts.  And how many, many times those waking moments extended far into the night.  I can never separate myself from my school.  My ties to HANC will always be strong.  They will continue through the G'mach we established 6 years ago for teachers and students and the community at large.  They will grow stronger through the Gottesman Learning Center, a special needs program we developed to service Jewish children whose needs cannot be met by our Yeshivas.  They will become eternal through the relationships we have formed, the friends we have made,
and the students who are as beloved as our own children. 
(continued)
 
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
For the last 41 years together with my wife, Sondra, and with the support and selflessness of our own 5 children, we have dedicated ourselves to "creating Souls," to educating the future generations of Israel. No choice in life could have been more rewarding, more challenging or more fulfilling. But the time has now come to pursue other ventures and to pass the charge that was given to me in 1960 by Rabbi Fendel, to the next generation. To my successors I say, Find the good in every child and find it in your heart to love him for it. There is no teaching without love; there is no learning without love. You have my best wishes for much success and phenomenal growth.
"Olam Chesed Y'Baneh."
(continued)
  
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
And in conclusion, from the depths of my heart, thank you to Rabbi Fendel and to all my principals and colleagues, my secretaries, the many officers, the different Boards and teachers, Rebbies and Moros, my committees, the School Presidents and the PTA Presidents, the parent body and especially the children. Good Bye my dear friends. You will be a part of my life, forever.

With much love, 
Rabbi Moshe Gottesman, Dean

WE ARE HUMBLED TO SHARE THIS PROGRAM WITH
BILLY & JOANNE MLOTOK
Dear, dear friends, forever. Our lives have been intertwined, celebrating,
supporting, growing, and sharing all the good and sometimes
the less good.  We love you.  Such a thrill to celebrate you
as grandparents!  When did you grow up?
DEBBIE & DR. PERRY WYNER
No words could ever sufficiently express our Hakarat Hatov
for your friendship, your concern, your care, your compassion, your skill
and your love.  You were there for us for the last 40 years,
but in our darkest hour you were our brother.  Dr. Wyner,
you are a Tzadik, so appropriately wed to a Tzadekes!
JILL & MAX RUDANSKY
Jill and Max, so true to the Rudansky family heritage.  Kind, friendly,
happy, principled knowing what was right and having the strength
to pursue that dream.  I admired your parents for being able to B'H successfully raise all their children as "menschen", in the path of Torah.

HANNI & CHARLES RUDANSKY
Charles, with the help and support of your dear wife, Hanni,
you have been successful in bringing comfort and solace to
the Jewish Community at a time when all is confusion.  You are the consoler, you know what to do and you do it with love and compassion. 
We know.  You took us by the hand and led us through Hospice.
We will never forget.  
HENNY & RABBI SAM RUDANSKY   
  Our relationship with Sam began in "Little HANC"and with Henny
in the cardiologist's office.  What greater nachas for a teacher than to see
a student grow, to be a successful teacher? That would be
for the student to cherish that relationship as you did, Sam!
  All your phone calls, all your visits, all the books you brought
to share with your Rebbi.  All the time you took to talk to him.
And Henny always beside you with the most beautiful smile!
Love you, Sam.  You are the best!!

Students are akin to children.
 
We are honored to count HANC's children as part of our extended family. Saba's pride in his students was always palpable.  You at HANC experienced the warmth, dedication and investment of our Saba, 
Rabbi Moshe Gottesman ז"ל
For us, his lessons consisted of Shabbos afternoon trips to the park,
Motzei Shabbos fireworks and hours of boisterous singing. We grew up
on Saba's stories-of his adventurous childhood and his recollections of
the gedolim he revered.  Saba taught us what it means to be a spouse,
a parent and especially, a grandfather. He taught us what it means
to love Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael.
It is a testament to your legacy, Saba, when your students
feel like children and your children consider you their greatest teacher.
Saba, we love you and we miss you so much.

a/k/a Morah Jo a/k/a Mommy a/k/a Nana
HANC has been fortunate to have a Morah like you. Your love and passion
for teaching at HANC has been outstanding. The kindness, flexibility,
sense of humor and classroom management are the qualities that you possess.
This is what sets the bar for children of the ECC and prepares them
to take the next step in their life.
The Mlotok children and our grandchildren have also been fortunate
to have you as their mother and Nana. Being able to juggle it all.
Being the best mother and Nana in the whole world. I still don't know
how you do that multi-task thing.
Most fortunate though is the Dad. I thank Hashem every day for giving you
the strength to be able to give a Jewish education to the children of HANC
and still be able to give the love and care to your husband
and to our own children for the last 33 years...
and now to all our grandchildren.

In loving memory of Rabbi Moshe Gottesman zt"l
Rabbi Gottesman was an incredible man who was our friend and mentor.
His passion and love of teaching was inspiring and contagious.
He dedicated his life to his students and his "HANC Family"
and created memories that will last a lifetime.
His tireless efforts on behalf of HANC go unmatched.
He was admired and respected by all who knew him
and his legacy lives on in all the lives he touched.
Our family has been blessed to have had both Sondra and Rabbi Gottesman
as a continued source of friendship and guidance.
We will forever be grateful for the impact they had
on our lives and those of our children.
His memory will be a bracha for us all.
"Every Jewish child will have a Jewish education."

HANC's 66th Anniversary Dinner Gala. This is a very special dinner
for us because it serves as a tribute and a way to honor a man
who dedicated his life to HANC, Jewish education and Klal Yisrael.

It is our hope that HANC continues on their mission
as a Jewish day school to provide an excellent Jewish education
to all its students. This can only be accomplished
through our collected efforts.

We especially want to thank our dear friends and family for attending
the dinner, supporting HANC, and for giving so generously to
the Rabbi Gottesman Memorial Scholarship Fund.

HANC has been a passion of ours for 33 years
and we are very appreciative of all of you.

With the deepest Hakoras Hatov to our beloved sisters and brothers
Jill and Max, Henny and Sam, Hanni and Charlie
When I walk the halls of HANC I often have the awesome thought 
that my dear brothers Sam and Charlie walked here over 50 years ago.
With our beloved Parents, Dr. and Mrs. Sheldon Rudansky's  zt"l  love of Yiddishkeit , wisdom, and vision  they enrolled them in HANC.
In these classrooms our Parents' eternal legacy was forged.
And these young, spirited boys blazed the path for all of us. 
Our gratitude to all our beloved siblings has no bounds and the incredible  blessing of making life's journey with you is indescribable. You are all the embodiment of Torah values and lead righteous, faithful lives. You are champions of chesed and together with your love for Klal Yisrael you have transformed and impacted countless lives in unbelievable ways.  In all your professions you are in the trenches day in and day out bringing an uncanny compassion and inspiration to others with your love for Hashem, your indomitable spirit, and courage. We are forever indebted to you for your unconditional love and endless support and the happiness
and  hope you instill within us.  
With all our love and gratitude always, 
Debbie and Perry
 
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
IN HONOR OF OUR CHERISHED SISTER DEBBIE
who has devoted herself so selflessly to generations of children at HANC, constantly caring for them, nurturing them, and encouraging them with her endless supply of loving kindness
(and crackers and juice)! No matter how hectic the day, Debbie's door, like her heart, is always open to those in need, be it a fever, bruise, allergy, stomach ache, or the need for a compassionate and genuine smile and warm word of comfort.  The one supply that never ran dry in Debbie's office was her love for each and every person who entered.  Debbie's concern for each student, even decades after graduation, is reflected in how universally loved and appreciated she is by the entire HANC family.
We, her siblings, have been the  tremendously fortunate recipients of this same constant, sincere, deep love and generosity.   Debbie never waits for opportunities to give to another; she chases chessed and performs her innumerable acts of kindness with a love and happiness that are extraordinary.  Debbie's superlative, magnificent, round the clock loving care of her (our) parents zt''l,  throughout their lives, but most notably the last several years,  speaks volumes about her all encompassing chessed and selflessness.
On this occasion of HANC's 66th Anniversary, and of Debbie's retirement as School Nurse of HANC Elementary after 20 remarkable, amazing, dedicated years, we celebrate our sister
as an exquisite Eyshes Chayil, who embodies the spirit of loving kindness like no other.
 We wish Debbie a most resounding Mazel Tov on these past 20 years of devoted service to Klal Yisrael, and HANC, and pray for her continued health and nachas together with her beloved husband Perry
and entire mishpachah.
With all our love and gratitude always,
Max & Jill   •   Sam & Henny   •   Charles & Hanni   
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
Mazel tov to our beloved parents, aunts, and uncles
Debbie & Perry Wyner

Henny & Sam Rudansky
Hanni & Charles Rudansky
on this well-deserved honor.
 With passion, humility, and integrity you perpetuate the shining legacy
of our dear grandparents, Dr. Sheldon and Mrs. Mary Rudansky A"H
whose decision to send their children to HANC shaped the path of our family.  
 We are so grateful for the remarkable love, support and kindness you have showered upon each of us over the years. Together you have built a beautiful family founded on yiras Hashem, loyalty and selflessness and we feel unbelievably blessed to be the recipients of your dedication and love.
 Our family's connection to HANC spans decades and generations, and we are fortunate to belong to the HANC community. We are forever grateful
to Rabbi and Mrs. Fendel and Rabbi and Mrs. Gottesman for lovingly planting the seeds of Torah and Ahavas Yisrael that continue to blossom.
 
With much love and admiration,
The Rudansky and Wyner Children and Grandchildren
 
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
Growing up, you weren't asking us what we could do for you,
you were asking of us what we were capable of doing for ourselves.
 
There is no greater reflection of a parent's  genuine selflessness than children who are manifesting their identity, independence and talents
in their own unique lives.
 
Unlike the relationship between Goff and McVay,
developing the Brady-Belichick dynamic takes a lot more courage,
sacrifice and willingness to see the true good and potential in the other.
 
Mom and Pop, you gave your children the tools to see what they were capable of, and you had the courage to allow us to develop the confidence
to go out into the world and live our lives in a authentic and forthright way 
 
And for that, we are unbelievably grateful 
 
Love,
Arin and Mickey, Isaac and Frayde, Channi and Ben,

To our dearest Aunt Debbie and Uncle Perry, Uncle Sam and Aunt Henny, Uncle Charles and Aunt Hanni
Grandma and Grandpa A'H, created a true legacy that was built on respect, love and endless amounts of Hunkis pizza.  Sundays at Garden City were the backbone of our childhood-
as children we had no idea how blessed we were to be the nieces and nephews of the most selfless and devoted aunts
and uncles.  The support you have shown us our entire lives,
the love we have felt and the guidance we have been given
has been invaluable.  We daven that we can continue to imbue the next generation with the same passion for yiddishkeit
and integrity that has been modeled for us.

Dearest Mom and Dad, 
We are blessed to be your children and grandchildren and to benefit constantly from your unconditional love and support and the limitless dedication you pour into caring for each of us on a daily basis. You live Al Kiddush Hashem, with a single-minded focus on doing what is right. You approach each day with passion and purpose, emulating Hashem
and providing unmatched empathy and kindness to all.
No number of adjectives can truly convey the depth of gratitude and respect we have for you, and the Altruistic, Benevolent, Compassionate, Devoted, Encouraging, Fantastic, Generous, Humble, Insightful, Joyful, Kind, Loving, Magnificent, Noble, Optimistic, Patient, eQuanimous, Righteous, Spiritual, Thoughtful, Upbeat, Virtuous, Wise,
eXceptional, Yummy, amaZing people you are.
Mom, you set out to HANC 609 each morning to supply bandaids, ice, crackers, toothbrushes, tissues, medications, more ice, sandwiches, and more crackers, but, when you arrive in your office, you are the ultimate giver of empathy, encouragement, wise advice, positivity, joy...
and more crackers!  Similar to Devorah the Prophetess, you "arose as a mother in Israel" - ensuring that each child was nurtured and cared for, given expert medical attention,
and imbued with confidence in his or her ability to succeed. For close to 20 years,
your generosity of spirit, listening ear, and world-renowned patience have endeared you
to hundreds of HANC students, parents, and colleagues!

Together with Dad you have taught us by example in every aspect of life -
Avodas Hashem, Middos Tovos, Kibbud Av v'Em, Kavod Habriyos, Ben Adam L'chavero, Simchas Hachaim, Shalom Bayis, and many more. You make every moment count by never wasting time and always taking advantage of opportunities to perform chesed, learn Torah
and express gratitude. Most of all, you are truly the greatest Mother/Grandma
and Father/Papa in the world!! We love you!!
 
May Hashem bless you with good health,
endless bracha, koach, simcha, and nachas always!

Dear Uncle Max and Aunt Jill, Uncle Sam and Aunt Henny,
Uncle Charles and Aunt Hanni,
You are true paragons of chesed and service to Klal Yisrael - building shuls, educating
the next generation, and uplifting your patients and students with your wisdom and warmth.
You have always been among our biggest fans, cheering us on at our milestone events
and never missing an opportunity to fill us with confidence and laughter. You made it
a priority to spend time together on Shabbosim, Yamim Tovim, and Sundays in Garden City, creating a unique bond between aunts, uncles and cousins
that we cherish and continues to grow in the next generation!  
Our beloved grandparents Dr. Sheldon and Mrs. Mary Rudansky A"H instilled in us
the values of trust in Hashem, gratitude, pursuit of shalom, and generosity. 
You truly embody these values and are shining role models for us.
Together with our dear parents, you are fitting recipients of the Family Legacy Award,
as you perpetuate Rabbi Moshe Gottesman ZT"L's legacy of loving each individual,
and HANC's mission of  חנוך לנער על פי דרכו.  Rabbi and Mrs. Gottesman have been true role models, guiding us with warmth, wisdom, and sensitivity,
and going above and beyond to support our family.
May Hashem bless you with good health, much hatzlacha, simcha, and nachas always! Love,

Mazel Tov to 
Mom & Dad , Perry & Debbie, Max & Jill, Charlie & Hanni 
It is most fitting that the Eight of you received the Family Legacy Award tonight. Together you have built, nurtured,
and developed one cohesive family unit. 
Growing up we have all witnessed firsthand the respect you have accorded
one another, the time you prioritized to spend together,
and the love you have showered upon all of us.
We are all proud to be part of the Rudansky/Wyner Family.
It is fitting that this award is being given from HANC on the night that they honor the memory of Rabbi Gottesman a"h. The Rudansky family
is but a microcosm of everything that HANC represents and specifically
the Legacy that Rabbi Gottesman left behind.
You are living proof that the smallest of actions can have tremendous repercussions many years down the line. We are very fortunate
that HANC was there to drastically alter the History of our family.
Grandma and Grandpa a"h would be proud.
Love,
Yoni & P'nina, Eli, Donny, Ari, Yosef, and Yehuda Leib
 
Hebrew Academy of Nassau County
IN LOVING MEMORY OF RABBI MOSHE GOTTESMAN ZT''L
Rabbi Gottesman was a giant of unassailable courage and unmatched love
for Klal Yisrael. His dedication to Yidden everywhere was so extraordinary, from small students in HANC's early childhood programs,
through high school, and to adults worldwide.
His passion for Eretz Yisrael was boundless, and contagious.
HANC is synonymous with Rabbi Gottesman, a partnership for over 60 years! 
His bright, warm smile and his concern for every Jewish neshomah will always infuse the halls of the HANC schools. Rabbi's Gottesman's infectious laugh, and his excitement about Israel and Torah will permeate not only the halls
but the hearts of generations to come. He touched so many lives as a supreme educator and as an advocate for each individual he was involved with.   
Our families have been deeply fortunate to have been influenced by Rabbi Gottesman, a sterling gem of a human being, and his Eyshis Chayil Sandra, who was at his side always, strengthening, encouraging, emboldening,
and achieving right along with Rabbi Gottesman. Together they achieved enormous benefits for Klal and for countless individuals. May this gathering
be an aliyah for his holy neshomah, and may Hashem continue to bless
his amazing extended family.

We are so proud to honor our beloved brother
Sam
whose dedication to HANC High School students is legendary!
His indefatigable efforts on behalf of his talmidim have inspired generations of young men to strengthen their lifelong bonds
to Eretz Yisrael and Torah.  
Sam has a seemingly limitless arsenal of tools, including of course wonderful Gemorrah skills, educational savvy, Ahavas Yisrael, warmth, humor, compassion, and a great long pass. His fiery love for Torah
and Yiddishkeit transmit in a most natural and sincere manner the power of Torah to uplift ourselves in all situations at all times.
HANC High School holds a very special place in Sam's heart,
and his devotion to the development of his students professionally
and personally is extraordinary.  We are deeply inspired by Sam's level of righteousness, and his efforts over these past decades,
together with his wonderful wife Henny, to nurture
and mentor decades of Jewish neshomahs.

for my beloved HANC Family 
 
The amazing and incredible leaders and Principals,
Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh, Mrs. Barbara Deutsch, Rabbi Michael Merrill
and all the amazing and incredible Faculty and Staff
who have profoundly impacted and enriched my life.
It is awe- inspiring to witness on a daily basis your tremendously hard work and great efforts, dedication and perseverance, extraordinary expertise
and professionalism and going way beyond what one would expect
to ensure the success of the students.
But, above all, your love and compassion for each and every student 
is carrying out the vision of HANC!!

WITH HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO THE HANC FAMILIES
There are no words adequate to express my deepest hakoras hatov for having the amazing zechus to be the school nurse in the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County for the past nineteen years. I have been gloriously blessed to have my life profoundly impacted and enriched by the multitudes of incredible families I have met - loving and devoted Parents and Grandparents, and above all, your loveable, precious children. I am humbled and privileged to have cared for these beautiful neshomas and strived to treat them as my own. Being entrusted with the well being of children carries a tremendous responsibility (many a sleepless night the past 19 years) but the exquisite goodness, adorableness, and sweetness of the children made it all beyond worth it!! Knowing a generation of students, it is tremendous joy and nachas to meet ones who have grown up and see the legacy that Rabbi Gottesman ZT"L toiled for being perpetuated by them. I have the greatest admiration and respect for you, the phenomenal parents of your treasured children and I cherish the relationships I have forged with you. I will carry you all with love in my heart forever and I will continue to say my daily tefillah for the good health, happiness, and success of the beloved HANC children and their beloved families.
Love,
Debbie and Perry

In  honor and acknowledgement of our dear niece
Leigh Henoch 
extraordinary Morah of HANC High School for close to 20 years!
 
Leigh exhibits a rare and unusual devotion and dedication to her important work as a Jewish educator. Leigh takes very seriously the impact that her lessons will have on her students, and their impact on future generations of Jewish women. Weekends, vacations, summers are filled with Morah Henoch vigorously renewing lesson plans, infusing them in manners that will best inspire her talmidot. Her warmth, joy, brilliance, and insights convey to her students the essence of what it means to be a Bat Yisrael. At this time of HANC's 66th Anniversary celebration, we celebrate Leigh Henoch, who has literally absorbed the beautiful mesorah of Rabbi Gottesman and lights the halls of HANC with her unparalleled dedication to Klal Yisrael through education.

His intelligence, his support, his good heart,
his Saychl and his foresight, helped the

Two Special and Very Dear Friends
Joanne & William
Your warmth, generosity, easy going and giving nature are just some of
the outstanding traits that define you both. We have been friends
for so many years and count ourselves fortunate for having moved
to Plainview at the same time (We did join YIP first though).
We've watched our children grow up and attend HANC together
and our families will always share a special friendship. People use the word
Chevra to describe a group of close and personal friends.
However, when it comes to both of you, that word Chevra encompasses
every family with children that have attended, are attending
or will be attending HANC. You both shun the limelight and we know
it is only the Hakarat HaTov you have for Rabbi Gottesman zt"l
and his family that got you to finally accept this well-deserved honor.
It is with great pleasure we join tonight, with so many of your friends
and family, in paying tribute to you as HANC Grandparents of the Year.
Only the warmest wish for you to continue having much nachas
from your children and grandchildren
With all our good wishes

To Our Dear Friends
Joanne and Billy Mlotok
We salute you not only as Grandparents of the Year, 
who have raised beautiful children and grandchildren
at both the Plainview and West Hempstead campuses,
And not only because Joanne is a vibrant leader of the Plainview ECC
who inspires young children to a lifetime of learning and Torah,
And not only because Billy has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to improve HANC and its operations in so many ways on countless projects
for more than 30 years (as HANC's longest serving director and officer!),
But also because of our families' close and enduring friendship.
 
Mazal Tov to Guests of Honor, Faige and Akiva Lefkowitz
and to the extended Rudansky family as Family Legacy Awardees.
Each of you contribute selflessly and mightily to spread the legacy
of Rabbi Moshe Gottesman (zt'l) in ensuring that HANC
not only educates Long Island's students with Torah knowledge
but also infuses our communities with Torah values.

Mazal Tov to our dear friends and vacation buddies, the Lefkowitzes.
You started out as customers and became members of our family
(since Gabe and Shana are cousins and Elana is our daughter). We always rely
on Rabbi Akiva to give us hechsher on Krispy Kreme and Faige to alert us
to health issues. We are proud to see you accept this honor
and so glad that you are part of our HANC family.
Though we only know two of the Rudansky siblings, we can see
what a special family they are. Debbie "the Nurse" has provided warm care
for our children and hundreds of others while calming so many
anxious parents. Rabbi Rudansky is a Rebbe who knows how to have fun
with his talmidim while bestowing his erudition on them.
The Mlotoks were active and involved parents for so long that it is
no surprise that they have become passionate Grandparents of the Year.
We weren't zoche to be at HANC when Rabbi Gottesman, Z"L 
was an administrator but our children have learned his special lessons
that still reverberate through the halls. The interactions we have had with him
will stay with us forever and we know what it is like to be
in the presence of a Gadol in the field of Jewish Education.

Honoring the legacy of Rabbi Moshe Gottesman--
a legendary mechanech who drew countless neshamot closer
to Torah u'mitzvot with his sincere warmth and his intense passion
for Yiddishkeit. Rabbi Gottesman was a master principal (and Dean) of the principle of "chanoch lanaar al pi darko" - to educate a child in a way
custom-made for him/her, and had an ability to not only see the present situation of students, but their potential many years down the road.
Yhei Zichro Baruch.

In appreciation of a dear friend and colleague,mechanech par excellence, 
Rabbi Sam Rudansky. Your hashpa'ah, positivity, and abiding love
for your students have significantly expanded the reach and impact of HANC.
 
Mazal Tov to the Rudansky/Wyner families upon this most deserved honor.

Mazal tov to Faige and Keevy Lefkowitz and Joanne and Billy Mlotok. The HANC community is enriched by your vision, commitment,

it's hard to remember when it started. 
We feel privileged to have worked alongside them
in some small way, and to have experienced HANC
as parents of children who were in the same grade
and played on the same teams. Great memories.
HANC would not have been
the same without you. Thanks.
 
And to all our honorees, our heartfelt thanks
for all you do for our kids.

May your beautiful children, grandchildren and great grandchildren
continue to raise your neshamos ever higher.
The bonds between the Rudansky/Wyner families and the Salzbanks
were forged 45 years ago in HANC. We have shared and grown
so much together, through both joyous and difficult times. We will be
forever grateful for HANC for linking our families. (Carpools, where we drove BOTH ways, Shavuous and egg salad, stickball in Garden City,
YU roommates, "heated" teasing about the Mets and so much more). 
May Hashem grant the entire family the health and ability to continue
to inspire us all to grow in our Avodas Hashem.
With love, admiration and boundless respect for
Rabbi Moshe Gottesman, Z"L. You have inspired generations
to grow in Torah and to fondly know, Petach Tikvah...אם המושבות

You treat us as if we are your own children, take care of us,
give us literally the clothes off your back, and even sometimes
come to mother-daughter events.  Even our children feel close to you. 
May you be זוכה to much שמחה and נחת. 
And hey, Sam did you get Henny to the dinner on time,
did you practice the route a few times to be sure ??? 
You really are a great (great) aunt and uncle.
