May it be Your will, Lord Our God and God of our ancestors, to renew this year for us with sweetness and happiness.
In a bit of coincidence, two students who asked me to write college recommendations, mentioned that I had known them from birth. This means that I have been around here for a pretty long time and it has got me feeling a little nostalgic. So, this year, as I dip my apple slices in honey, I will think of:
~Young students of mine who have fallen in love and asked me to officiate at their weddings
~Students who I once advised, advising me
~Families gaining generations before my eyes
~Cardin graduates who keep in touch
~The constant evolution of my understanding of Torah and Judaism
~Hiring my mentor, Rabbi Zaiman, who once hired me, and seeing his students thrive in his classes.
~Apples dipped in honey every year!
