Dear Reb Marcia,
You are an amazing rabbi and teacher. I'm especially grateful to you (and to Jack) for working with Lucas during his Bar Mitzvah year. He studied weekly with you from the end of the holidays in the fall until the June date of his Bar Mitzvah. You brought Jewish history and thinking to him straight from your heart in a very creative and personalized way. He never complained about coming for a lesson.
He did have one melt-down sometime during the middle of the year. Maybe he began to realize what he was getting into or maybe he was just tired. While you were teaching he just stopped short and said "I'm hungry." You suggested that I get him some pizza from down the street. He refused that and any further suggestions until you said, "Would you like me to make you a cheese quesadilla?
You prepared it for him, and the lesson continued.
In that moment I learned about your very special ability.
You know exactly how to take people from where they are to a higher spiritual place. The day of his Bar Mitzvah, he felt that inner convidence and God spark. Thank you again for opening that channel for him, for me and for all those you teach.
Blessing for Chai and many more,
Gayle
