Lichvod R. Yisrael,
Mazal tov on this very special and well-deserved honor we are celebrating this evening.
Your decades of devotion to the chinuch of the thousands of children influenced and inspired
by you – your AM YISRAEL – is truly worthy of all the accolades you receive this evening.
For over forty years you have risen each morning with passion and enthusiasm to share
Torah, mitzvot and midot tovot with your talmidim. Many of your students have become
leading rabbonim, Roshei Yeshiva, morot and educators. Many homes have been built upon
the foundations you instilled in them in their formative years. We are personally appreciative
of your many years of dedicated leadership to our own children. You focused on their
educational and religious growth, and you were responsive to us through many years of
elementary school. We think of you every year at the Seder when we sing Rabbi Silverman’s
Hallel. We hope and pray that as you transition to the next phase of your life, may Hashem
bless you with good health and energy for many years to continue to shep nachas from your

efforts and to continue to grow and contribute to all Am Yisrael.
With deep respect and friendship,
