Providing Sacred Space that Values Each of Us for Our Gifts

Dear R. Marcia,

"Congratulations," does not begin to say what I feel.

Thank you for your example

Thank you for your guidance

Thank you for your friendship

Thank you for creating sacred space

Thank you for being a great teacher

Thank you for your sense of humor

Thank you for letting me pray in the ways I have needed to pray

Thank you for the friendships I have had as a result of the community you have helped create

Thank you for providing sacred space that heals, educates, informs, embraces creativity and values each of us for the gifts we have.

Thank you for all the things I have not mentioned and deserve reflection.

I was  unable to be with you  on your special weekend (I had planned to be there) 

Instead I was at the Bris of my nephew in Boston. 

I thought  of you  as I davvened in Boston.

With great affection,

Nicholas Boonin
