Ikie,

 

What a blessing it is to be able to congratulate you on such a well-deserved honor.

 

You have truly dedicated your life to Hillel Yeshiva and to our entire community. Your involvement in countless organizations, fundraising, leading and building continues to inspire so many of us. Even though you humbly credit your parents and the founders of Hillel for teaching you how to lead, you have shown us the true meaning of leadership, and have taught us the importance of giving of oneself, both time and money. Your unwavering faith in Hashem has led you to a life filled with honesty and hesed. Your passion, your drive and your high standards are just some of the qualities which help you achieve your goals.

 

As I reflect over our 22 years together, I feel extremely grateful to have you as my husband and as my partner in raising our family. You are a role model who gives 100% in every situation. You advise, you guide, you support, and you love. Thank you for everything you have done to help build our family and our community into what it is today.

 

I love you and I am so proud of everything you are!

 

Love,

Linda
