Thinking back to when you were kids, you put up
with my crazy work schedule during the pre-Purim
months when I would be working 12-14 hour days
and your mother barely made it home in time for
the Purim seudah on Purim day. I also think back
to some of the grandchildren, who, as soon as they
were old enough, would drive a route on Purim
day, and that you boys had your mother at your
school all through high school.
But now you have all left the nest and are living
lives filled with Torah and mitzvos. You bring me
so much nachas. You’ve given me those beautiful
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
I am so thrilled that you are here with me on this
very special occasion
I love you all

In honor of
Rabbi Michael Myers
in recognition of his mesiras nefesh towards harbatzas
Torah in the Chicagoland Jewish community and beyond
This tribute goes back many years
You taught my daughters, Debbie and Sara, at ICJA
I have attended so many of your shiurim over the
years: whether at the Shabbos afternoon shiurim for
women, the HTC’s Gourmet Torah at Shallots on
Thursdays, your very moving shiurim given each year
on Tisha B’Av, and when I manage to get to KINS at
8:30 am on Shabbos morning - your parsha shiur
I have learned so much from you
When you were Dean of Students at HTC, I got
to know you on a more personal level and
consider you as a friend
May Hashem give you the strength to continue in
your Avodas Hakodesh in good health and happiness
with much nachas from your children
and grandchildren
