First and foremost, thank you Zev and Ariela for hosting us tonight. We all really appreciate your generosity and for putting this wonderful event together.
Chabad has really meant something for me since I got here more than two years ago. An 18-year-old from New York, looking to go to services for the High Holidays, Chabad was the only choice for us ZBT’s. Zev and Ariela, you have made this a home for me, somewhere I know I always have the option to come to. You have extended your arms to this fraternity and to me, and I cannot be more grateful for that. You go out of your way to make sure that we are all doing okay, and are there for us when we are in need. Even when I couldn’t come for services this year for Yom Kippur, Zev told me the night before, “come by whenever, I’ll blow the shofar for you.” That alone shows you his character and his love for Judaism.
Thank you again Zev and Ariela. You both have had a great impact on my life.
