═══════════════════════════════ S tuart Snow - Congregation Beth Shalom - Arlington, TX Dear Rabbis Druin, Selwyn and Bialo and Leah, I wanted to reach out to wish each of you a sweet new year filled with health, happiness and peace of mind. Because of your individual and collective efforts Beth Shalom’s spiritual component and capacity has been elevated! Enclosed below is a photograph of our Aron HaKodesh with the Torah scrolls in their new HHD covers. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. Shabbat Shalom and Shana Tova Tikateivu! ═══════════════════════════════ J ack Cohen - Congregation Shaare Emeth, St. Louis, MO Sofer on Site never changes their values, their love for Torah, and their love for people. ═══════════════════════════════ L eslie M. Bernstein - Director, Foundation and Corporate Relations - Calvary Hospital, NY Shulem Ganz, and his mother, Eva – their father/husband was cared for in April at our Brooklyn satellite. Eva Ganz was a Holocaust survivor, and she told the story of how she survived first Nazi Hungary and then Communist Hungary, to be able to come to this country. Her husband, Boruch, was from Czechoslovakia and was in concentration camps throughout the war. She brought a photo of him writing in a different Torah – it certainly felt like he was in the room with us. We were all close to tears as she told her and her husband’s stories. After they wrote their letter, they came to the third floor to see our kosher hospitality suite and Shabbos room. We had a walk-in, Steven Kerner, whose wife, Cathy, is in our care on the 6th floor. The visiting rabbi from Sofer On Site, Rabbi Levi Selwyn, invited him to say prayers, and Steve became very emotional as he put on the prayer phylacteries. He has been taking care of his wife for quite a number of years, and he is well known to Stephanie. ═══════════════════════════════ St uart Snow - Congregation Beth Shalom - Arlington, TX I can recommend the experienced professionals at Sofer on Site without hesitation for any congregation wishing to have their Torah scrolls evaluated, cleaned and repaired to return them to Kashrut status. Every member of the staff is kind, dedicated to the task at hand, professional in their demeanor and follow up, and truly a partner with you during this process. We could not be more pleased. They are with you before, during and after! May HaShem continue to bless their efforts with success! Thank you Sofer on Site. ═══════════════════════════════ E llen Schneeweis - Education Chair - Hebrew Educational Alliance, Denver, CO I had the most wonderful experience Co-chairing the Education of Mitzvah 613. I felt like this project really was beautiful to bring everyone in our HEA membership together as one community. Personally it was such a touching and treasured experience that included my children, as well! I have done a lot of volunteer work in many Jewish Communities since 1993. Flattered that I could be chosen for this position, and I will always treasure this project, and we raised a lot of money, in a meaningful way! We were lucky enough to use the Torah for my youngest son's (I have four sons.) May 16, 2015 Bar Mitzvah!! from those who enjoyed such a positive experience. ═══════════════════════════════ J effrey Balin - Marketing & Publicity - Chair - Temple Sholom Vancouver, BC Our experience with Sofer On Site in general and Rabbi Druin, in particular, was truly outstanding. Rabbi Druin brought a genuine and unique level of insight, energy and honour to our Torah writing project, and consequently to our Torah itself and the entire congregation. His attention to each person, each letter and each detail ensured that this most sacred activity remains sacred for all participants. The support, structures and suggestions from Sofer On Site s upfront were critical in launching this year-long journey in the right direction, and it only went up from there! _________________ Rhea Lazar - Torah Writing Chair - Temple Sholom Vancouver, BC It was a wonderful experience for me to be involved in the planning of this project, working and getting to know many congregants that I had not known before. I think our process for scribers was particularly meaningful because of our very strong pre-scribing activities, where people had a chance to learn a lot about Torah _________________ Rochelle Garfinkel - Executive Director - Temple Sholom Vancouver, BC It was a privilege to photograph the scribing sessions, Rabbi Druin created a warm and inviting experience with each and every family, making them feel at one with the Torah and with the family members that they were were remembering and honouring _________________ Anne Andrew - Temple Sholom Vancouver, BC The results of our Letter by Letter Torah project far exceeded my expectations. This was in no small part due to the tremendous skill of Rabbi Moshe Druin in connecting each family to the letter that they scribed. The scribing experience was described as unexpectedly spiritually uplifting by many of the members of our congregation. As co-chair of this project I really appreciated the support of the whole Sofer On Site organization for leading us step by step through the process of putting the project together. ═══════════════════════════════ Mi chelle Goldsmith, Congregation Beth Emeth, VA I have had the pleasure of working with Sofer On Site at two different synagogues - Temple Beth-El in Birmingham, Alabama and Congregation Beth Emeth in Herndon, Virginia. Both times the sofer repaired our scrolls beautifully and educated my congregants - from young to old - about the process of making parchment, writing a Torah, how to keep a Torah clean and in good repair, and how meaningful it is to create and preserve Torah scrolls. Our congregants are still talking about the visit from Sofer On Site and it has been six months! ═══════════════════════════════ B ruce Dollin - Hebrew Educational Alliance SOS did a great job with our project. The Torah is beautiful and we met our fundraising goals. _________________ Harvey Sundel - Marketing & Publicity Chair - Hebrew Educational Alliance Sofer On Site was terrific to work with. They have extensive experience with helping Shuls develop and implement a Torah writing Project. As a result, they have an extensive database full of examples of visuals, forms, etc. used by other Shuls who have implemented a Torah writing project. We were encouraged to review these examples and use things that would be appropriate for us. Rabbi Goldstein, with whom I worked, made valuable suggestions, and was always willing to tweak whatever we chose to make it better fit our needs. When needed, he would customize a visual jus for us. Congregants were very impressed with Rabbi Druin. He did an incredible job of talking people and telling the the meaning of their letter. Many people I spoke to said they were genuinely moved by the experience. Overall. Sofer On Site helped us implement a very successful and meaningful Torah writing project. _________________ Rabbi Bruce Dollin, Cantor Martin Goldstein Sheryl Feiler (Head Chair), Neal Price & Lauried Morris (Fundraising Chairs) Congregation Hebrew Educational Alliance - Denver, CO Working with Sofer On Site , and in particular Rabbi Druin, was an absolute pleasure. Their expertise and professionalism could not possibly be surpassed. They guided us throughout our Mitzvah 613 campaign, and there turn- about time for helping us with campaign materials was fantastic. Over the course of a year, over 700 of our families met individually with Rabbi Druin to learn about the meaning of the letter they were to write, and to hold his hand and/or quill as the letter was written. The individual words of Torah the Rabbi imparted to each family were truly inspiring. Many told us this was not only one of the most meaningful actions they had taken as a Jew, but that it was a memorable life-event. In addition to allowing so many to fulfill this mitzvah, the congregation had a very successful “Dedication Campaign” that added significantly to our Endowment Fund. I cannot emphasize too much, what a wonderful experience working with Sofer On Site was to our committee and congregants. Our members were brought closer to our congregation in so many ways. ═══════════════════════════════ M eryl Marchand - Temple Beth Shalom in Santa Fe, NM I had the privilege of working with Rabbi Goldstein on our Holocaust Torah Restoration Project. His patience, creativity and his brilliant computer skill made working with him a total joy. ═══════════════════════════════ A rlene Needleman - Temple Beth Israel Sunrise, FL My synagogue has had an amazing experience with Sofer on Site. We have worked with 4 or 5 of the soferim that represent Sofer on Site as well as Rabbi Druin and Rabbi Bialo. We have had two congregational siyum days where we completed a 100 year old Torah. We are looking forward to our community siyum on 3/12 where we will honor survivors, families with a disability member and host the 7th gradefrom David Posnack Middle School.
