Dearest Shuly,

Only a very few are called to put their stamp on the most storied institutions of Jewish scholarship and learning. Even fewer must do so in times filled with strife, grief, pandemic, amidst a myriad of challenges from both within and outside our community. Throughout all, you persevered, never flagging, safeguarding JTS and its students from stresses scarcely imaginable to our generation and making the world a better place.

עשה לך "שולמית", קניתה לך חבר

Find for yourself a "Shuly" - and you've made a treasured friend (Pirkei Avot, adapted)

From your giving us the warmest of welcomes into (last-millennium) college life and shaping our "adulting"

To blessing our marriage and signing our ketubah

To your immeasurable and ongoing professional and personal mentorship...

Our feelings of gratitude are boundless.

And just as boundless are our hopes for a long, blissful and so very well-deserved rebalance of family, pleasure and continued work and scholarship.

With admiration and gratitude,

I first had the opportunity on the List College Board of Trustees. In that time, I have seen the commitment and dedication of Shuly up close.
