Dad and JulieYou two are so deserving of the Avodat Hakodesh award.

You have been with the shul since day one, making sure things get done and helping when there is a problem.

Whether it is running over to the shul in the middle of dinner because there is a problem, going there at the crack of dawn to unlock a door,

or making sure something was cleaned or fixed the right way, you never let anything get in the way of helping the shul.

You helped with the security of the shul, you help set up kiddush, and you have really helped create a sense

of community that we feel when we go to shul.

We are SO proud that you are being recognized for your hard work.

Chazal (Bamidbar Rabbah 1:14) tell us that the greatness of Yehoshua was personified, not by the miracles that he performed, but rather by

his daily actions of setting up the benches and tables in the Study Hall.

Our Rabbis are teaching us that there is no greater mark of leadership for a people and a community than in the simple (and often not so simple)

actions that allow the daily operation of our religious institutions.

It is this spirit of Yehoshua that

David and Julie Maeirpersonify, and for that they are truly worthy of receiving

Anne and Sy Okner Z”L Avoday Hakodesh Award.

Thank you for all that you do for our shul and Mazal Tov on this truly deserving award.

Rabbi Etan & Tamar Ehrenfeld

GOLD

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has compared true leadership to the lighting one flame from another. Without diminishing their own abilities, great leaders increase the amount of “light” that they produce through empowering and inspiring others.

Kenny and Yael Ripsteinare not only leaders in their own right,

but they inspire so many of us in the community to rise up and lead along with them.
