Congratulations to the

Boston Kollel

on celebrating the 32nd anniversary!
We can remember the "age" of the Kollel, because our relationship with
the Kollel began the very first year Rabbi Bier came to Boston, when Eli

as a college student met the wonderful Bier family--and began an
on-going relationship that forever altered the course of Eli's life, B"H.

We are so grateful for all that with which HKB"H has graced us
-with eternal thanks to the path of Torah and ruchniyus on which Rabbi

Bier set Eli.
We recognize how much effort has been expended as well by the

broader Kollel and Boston kehillahs in their support
of the kollel and its programming.

May the Kollel continue to see nachas from its "children", and may the
many supporters of the kollel and the Boston community
have much nachas!

Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for us!
With great affection and a love and hakaras hatov that extends far

beyond the words of this page,

Eli and Adi Feen and their children, Gidon, Shira, Talya, Ezra, and
Noa
