To our sweet friend, Marcia:
Eighteen years leading Pnai Or Philadelphia! If that were the sum total of your service, locally and world-wide, we would say dayyenu!
With your leadership of the Smicha program, your influence on the development of Jewish Renewal for the future is assured. Your inspiration has taken the ALEPH Seminary from barely a blip on the radar screen of contemporary Jewish life, to a respected and envied paradigm shifting training of future clergy. For that we say HODU!
Your joy and great skill in davenning leadership has become a full-bodied expression emulated by so many students, and for that we give thanks!
Your teaching is wisdom and its worth is far above rubies.
For all that you do, we can only be filled with love and awe of your grace and humor and big, soft, delicious heart.
Mazal Tov!
Loving blessings,
Rabbi Shaya Isenberg and Bahira Sugarman
Rabbis Victor and Nadya Gross
