She guides us to lands afar to eat foods gourmet.
In the realm of rhyming she has great expertise.
Her Purim poems are gems, they always do please.

Kol hakavod to
Simone and Mark,
who each and together exemplify what it is to be a leader. Over many years, you've stepped in wherever there was a need, without being asked and without seeking recognition. Simone, you energized every project you took on and every committee that you chaired. In your Women's League leadership and in all that you've done since, you've balanced kindness, creativity and fun. You give real thought and consideration to everything that you do. Mark, you devoted yourself to YINR from the start and you raised the bar for us in every way. Each communication that goes out, from announcements to important documents, has your imprint - organized, concise, effective. You give of your time freely, not stopping until the job is done, and done well. You have been wholly dedicated to the success of the Shul; we have shared that dedication, and it has been a privilege to work with you and learn from you for the last 10+ years. May the Abishter give you His Bracha for a lifetime of Hatzlacha and Nachas from the Kinder.
Michelle and Rafi,
from the moment you arrived, you jumped in and made yourselves available for anything the shul needed. You've shown our young members, by example, what it means to be part of a community. We look forward to many more years of your leadership of YINR. May you continue to go from strength to strength.

You exhibited extraordinary leadership, successfully navigated very difficult and sensitive situations, and helped to architect our growth and our future. Your willingness to always be available for each of us, every hour of the day and night, set a very high standard of generosity and selflessness and set the tone for our team. We were all fortunate to work with you and be the beneficiaries of your leadership, your dedication, your energy, and your talents.

Even though
Rafi and Michelle
Keep a low profile, they are active leaders
who roll up their sleeves and always get involved
with their community. They contribute practically
and their no-nonsense attitude is the driving force
behind so many initiatives.
We are proud to be friends with them, and we have seen them
dominate several neighborhoods over the last decade.
Huge Mazel Tov!
