Bar Mitzvah Thanks

Dear Rabbi,

Its been a week since Alex Bar Mitzvah... It was was one of the most beautiful and important days in our life...full of precious moments, emotions and feelings. Thank you Rabbi for the beautiful ceremony, for your presence, warmth of your smile and your big heart :0) All guests were impressed, and they really enjoyed the ceremony. Some of them were really happy to learn more about our beautiful religion :0) Thank you Rabbi for that amazing experience which will stay in my heart forever. We wish you a peaceful and beautiful Shabbat, 
Hannah and Alex 

Wedding thanks

Hello Rabbi ,

I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job this weekend at Dan and My wedding. We really enjoyed your service during the ketubah signing and during the huppa. We both really enjoyed listening to your stories and thank you for making it so personal for us. So many people came up to us during the wedding and said how enjoyable and personal you made the huppa. Thank you again for helping us during our engagement and for taking the time to teach us about the meaning of the traditions and giving us material to help us make our marriage strong. I hope we will stay in touch. 

Thank you again!

Sincerely,

Sara and I can't thank you enough for your role at our wedding.  You were just perfect and we both felt so lucky to have you there.  We really wanted to have a "Jewish wedding" and you made our dream come true.  Everything felt so special and sincere.  Your remarks were warm, relevant and sounded like you've known us for a long time.  We got a lot of compliments after the wedding about your service and it was well deserved.

Thank you for making our day so special.  Hopefully I will see you soon.

Fyi, my younger brother and his fiance really enjoyed your service and so did her parents.  Her dad is orthodox and his Rabbi won't do their wedding at the hotel.  If it's ok with you, I'll forward your information off to my bother and hopefully he'll contact you.  It would be great if you can be a part of his wedding also.

Posted on Facebook page of new Jewish Families: Lonny congrats... I can't believe you are being married by the same Rabbi  who just officiated our wedding in Oct. Small world. Enjoy all the wedding planning fun and again congrats!!!

I just wanted to thank you so much for coming to Quincy and being apart of our wedding in October. It meant a lot to Bruce and I that you officiated the wedding since you were the Rabbi that helped me convert. Also, thank you for saving me at the hotel when the limo wouldn't start. Oy what a day that was, classic Murphy's Law...but in the end the ceremony was beautiful and I married my best friend, my bashert. Thank you for everything

FUNERALS

Dear Rabbi, It has been 3 weeks since we spoke and I am still at a loss for words. I want to thank you for all the uplifting words and the funeral. I want to thank you and God for not only restoring my faith but for God bringing you into my life. I have had better days but just thinking of you and how wise and caring you are, makes me smile. Thank you for all that you do and all that you are and for being there for me. I will remember you with love forever.  Maureen

Teaching

Dear Rabbi : I have been watching your videos, and I think  you are brilliant! The future of Yiddishkeit , is in the hands of people like you,  your newest devotee. J.k.

I just loved coming to Services and hearing your D'vrei Torah, which were always excellent.  I have known many  Rabbis, but you are really one of the best! G.  March 2011
