90 | FESTSCHRIFT

Dear Friends in Denver,

Pirkei Avos says it best, “Provide thyself a teacher; get thee a companion”.

It is hard to believe, that we have known Rabbi Rapp for just about 15 years. We have
been through tough times, easy times, family times and fun times. The best times were
around the table, learning.

Truthfully, it is because of the rabbi that I have increased my learning on a daily basis.
I will be forever indebted for his guidance for me and my entire family.

The people of Denver seized the golden opportunity of retaining Rabbi Rapp for the
past 10 years. We know it to be reciprocated love as we hear from the rabbi how he
enjoys going to Denver. Easy? Not a chance with all that travel. But when you love
something so much and never complain about it, that is the bottom line.

To our friends, Chaya and Rabbi Dani, we wish you and the girls continued success in
Denver. This is a great simcha that you deserve.

As I continue my learning, thinking of you as I turn the pages of the sefer, I fulfill the
words of Pirkei Avos. But to my family we know we have made a lifelong friend with
Rabbi Dani, Chaya and family,

B’Ahava
