Orchard of Delights
great joy in my life. May they continue to drink from the wellsprings
of Torah. Alan and Laya Lurie are foundation stones of kindness,
hospitality, and support for myriad good causes and have assisted
me once again with this book. May they have continued strength
to inspire all those around them. I wish to thank Daniel and Avia
Farber for their generous assistance and the beautiful dedication
which speaks volumes about our long and continuing friendship.
Many thanks to Gratia Meyer for her generosity and for sharing on
such a deep and spiritual plane. Thanks also go to Rabbi Henoch
Dov and Sari Hoffman for our long and ongoing friendship and their
assistance in producing every one of my books.
Special thanks are due to two families who have hosted my Torah
parasha class over the last eight years. A great deal of the material in
this book coalesced and took form in preparing these classes. Marty
and Chavi Lee not only first hosted the class but have been a bedrock
of support for Ohr Chadash from its very inception. There are no
words that can describe my deep appreciation. To Mosheh and Tamar
Vineberg who have graciously and devotedly hosted the class these
last four years and created such a beautiful atmosphere for words
of Torah, I can only say, “May your home continue to be a place
of holiness and inspiration.” Additionally I want to thank all those
who have participated in these classes. Your questions, comments,
and overall enthusiasm for learning Torah have been a great source
of joy in my life.
I would also like to thank the many people, more than I can mention,
who have helped support Ohr Chadash and its many activities. May
you all be blessed with much nachas from the important educational
work we do. Special thanks to Barbara and Michael Katch for your
friendship and partnership, generosity and caring. It has made all
the difference and is appreciated from the depths of my heart.
Many thanks to George and Sheera Gumbiner for your ongoing
vote of confidence and generous support. And to Zvi and Shoshana
Gelt, Alan and Laya Lurie, Robert and Esther Black, Michael and
Barbara Schwartz, Rabbi Joe and Rolinda Schonwald, Ken and
Vickie Pepper, Chuck and Betty Whiting, Scott and Sally Alpert,
Tuvya and Jayne Brandt, Jeffrey and Shelly Cohen, Ivan and
