Thank you so much

Mrs. Samber

for accepting tonight’s
Woman of Valor award.

You truly exemplify Woman of Valor
in the hundreds of hours of dedicated
service to our Yeshiva.

Your professional work ethic is evident
in everything you do, as is your “sechel
tov”, sincerity and humility.

Our enormous Shalach Manos project is
a major undertaking as is Likutei Peshatim
which you so ably publish every week.
Both of these projects are important
assets to our Yeshiva.

May Hashem grant you good health and
much nachas from all your wonderful
mishpacha.

Rav Yeshaya, I remember your great

Every day in Yeshiva we saw more and
more “‫ ”שטייגין‬-more and more ‫ עליה‬in
Torah and ‫יראת שמים‬.

Your Chosheva Rebbetzin was also a
true model of “‫אשת חיל מי ימצא‬.”

You were ‫ זוכה‬to bring up a family of
true ‫ בני תורה‬and '‫אוהבי ה‬

May you continue to go ‫מחיל אל חיל‬
