Thank You



           Thank you! I accept the honor of the HaKaras Ha Tov award
           from my family of friends at Nusach Hari.  Sharing this honor
           with the other honorees, Bob and Joni Kaiser, Guests of
           Honor and Rick and Marcy Cornfeld, Israel Advocacy
           awardees is both inspiring and humbling.

           Being a member at Nusach Hari and getting to know Rabbi
           and Chani Smason has added immense value to my life.
           My parents Stanley and Bunny Farbstein, Z” instilled in me a
           love of learning.  Coming from a reform/cultural Jewish
           background I continued that tradition in my own home.  It
           wasn’t until I came to Nusach Hari that I truly discovered the
           wisdom of our Torah and the names of the higher power I
           knew I believed in.

           I became a Zionist during my years of learning as a member
           of Hadassah, the Women’s Zionist Organization of America.
           Nusach Hari is a leader in our community in its unwavering
           support of Israel. Our strength of conviction is so necessary
           in our world today.

           I am sure the warmth and enthusiasm all the members here
           exude is what inspires so many to volunteer, each in their
           own way.  Many thanks to the Dinner Committee who year
           after year make the award dinner so special.

           Congratulations to the Kaisers and Cornfelds.  Thank you to
           my husband, Bob, my sons, and my brother Moritz for their
           continual support, love and kindness.   I know the value of
           having a multitude in my corner.  Thank you to my
           Sisterhood board members and all our members.  May we
           go from strength to strength.

                           Teree Farbstein
