═══════════════════════════════ Alex Weinberg - Director of Congregational Learning, Temple Beth Sholom, NJ Hi Rabbi Salazar: I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your work, care, and ruah that you shared with our community! Your passion for Torah was felt in every meeting that you had with our congregants—each family (every family!) talked about how special it was to meet with you before they wrote in the Torah—how personal and unique you made their experience. Yashar Koah for not only restoring a magnificent Sefer Torah for our community, but also giving so many of our families a connection with Torah that they will not forget. It was such an honor to watch you work with our community and restore our Torah letter by letter. Thank you for all of your work and dedication to our community. I very much hope our paths will cross again soon. Wishing you much success in your next project in Houston! Rabbi Bialo and Rabbi Druin—thank you as well for all of your work and help with our Sefer Torah project. We are so excited to have such a special Torah return to our Aron Kodesh—thank you for all that you did to help this project and bring back our Torah! It was wonderful to work with you all again on another Torah project—I look forward to our next partnership! With much thanks and appreciation, ═══════════════════════════════ L eslie M. Bernstein - Director, Foundation and Corporate Relations - Calvary Hospital, NY Dear Rabbi Druin, Thanks for two beautiful programs yesterday at Calvary – the only word I have for your presentations is “amazing!” – You drew people in with humor, love, fascinating information – I could go on and on, but in essence, thank you for a wonderful introduction to our project. Looking forward to several more inspiring events with you – all best, and wishing you safe travels, Leslie _________________ Barbara J. Nitzberg - Director of Public Affairs & Community Relations - Calvary Hospital, NY Rabbi Druin did an unbelievable job with the employee presentation and the kick-off at the 92nd Street Y. I have spoken to a number of attendees at both events and they are in awe of what Rabbi Druin shared. Yasher koach to him for enlightening all of us! ═══════════════════════════════ R icki Greenspon, Head Chair - Temple Sinai, Las Vegas, NV Dear Shmuel, I would like to, first and foremost, say that our Torah Project was unique. It was not the usual fundraising project that is normally done. Our Project was done in conjunction with our Capital/Sustainability Campaign. In that regard, we did not have all of the usual things that are talked about in your educational materials. Those that contributed, whatever the amount was, were entitled to scribe. Rabbi Druin was here for a total of four different Torah Scribings. Included in that was one for the children in our Sunday school. The kids loved it! They got a kick out of Rabbi Druins talks and impersonations. He was/is wonderful with the kids. For the adults, he was remarkable. Every family came away with something that was meaningful to them. Whatever letter he scribed, he attributed something of that letter and the sentence to the family, after asking only one or two questions of the family. Truly remarkable how he was able to make those statements so very personable. I know that my certificate and photo are framed and on the wall. What an experience! The coup de grâce, was when Rabbi Druin came to Las Vegas for our Temple Consecration/Dedication. He spoke, we laughed, we cried. We gave raffle tickets to everyone in the synagogue and he pulled the winning ticket for someone to scribe. What a treat! The person that won, had not scribed and was thrilled with this honor. That afternoon was the culmination of a long haul with construction, delays etc. But all of that was worth it when Rabbi Druin worked his magic. I wish every congregation the joy of commissioning a Torah, specific for them, and having Rabbi Druin do the scribing. B'Shalom ═══════════════════════════════ Rabbi David Lyon - Senior Rabbi - Congregation Beth Israel - Houston, TX Sofer On Site provided every means for Congregation Beth Israel families, individuals, staff and friends to participate emotionally and spiritually in the writing of a new Sefer Torah. As we learn, “Marbeh Torah; Marbeh Chayyim”, more Torah, more life; this project united the congregation around a sacred task unlike any other. From those who were unaware of Torah’s central role in Jewish life to those who study it every week with our rabbis and cantor, our Torah project found people where they were and moved them along their personal Jewish journeys. Though some believed that they chose the letters and words to complete, they quickly learned that the place in the Torah actually chose them. This Torah project became a touchstone in their lives and forever connected them to this time and this place. When more than 900 people arrived for our Chanukah Family Service to dedicate the new Torah, we recited Shehecheyanu for life’s blessings, which God grants us, and for the privilege to share in the extraordinary mitzvah of learning and living Torah. Rabbi David Lyon, Senior Rabbi, Congregation Beth Israel, Houston, Texas, on our 160th Anniversary (1854-2015) _________________ Dawn Blitz - Marketing Chair - Congregation Beth Israel - Houston, TX Sofer On Site is always willing to answer questions, provide information, share best practices and templates that have been used at synagogues all over the country. They have extremely strong systems in place for data tracking, program implementation and service delivery. Sofer On Site is truly a one-stop-shop for Torah writing projects. _________________ Robert E. Lapin - President - Congregation Beth Israel - Houston, TX I can share with great pleasure that the experience we had with Sofer On Site was extremely positive and we are grateful for the partnership we enjoyed throughout our project. Of greatest significance to me, however, was the warmth, genuineness and sensitivity which characterized all of Rabbi Druin’s and Rabbi Salazar’s encounters with our congregants and staff who participated in the scribing. To a person, each one commented on how meaningful the rabbis made the scribing experience and we are very grateful for that. Wish Sofer On Site much continued success. ═══════════════════════════════ R abbi Daniel Alter - Denver Academy of Torah, CO Rabbi Druin talks were engaging, funny, educational and a great experience overall for our kids. Rabbi Druin's talks were engaging and informative. His talks were as effective when speaking to the early childhood students as they were when he spoke to the high school students. His experiential, hands on approach to education was very much in line with the educational philosophy of our school. we highly recommend his programs for students of all ages. _________________ Naomi Lev, MaEd - Assistant Principal - Denver Academy of Torah, CO I would echo Rabbi Alter's sentiments. The students at the high school were extremely engaged and were still talking about the speech content a few days later. We are appreciative of this opportunity to both hear an inspirational talk, and take part in the mitzvah of writing a sefer Torah. ═══════════════════════════════ R abbi Robert Haas - Congregation Mickve Israel - Savannah, GA In eary 2014, our synagogue, Congregation Mickve Israel of Savannah, had the great pleasure of dedicating our first new Torah scroll in over 150 years, and we were so very fortunate to have chosen to undergo this project with Sofer On Site. They ensured that every single aspect of the project went extremely smoothly, from the choosing of the script to the dedication itself. Every member of their staff worked diligently to ensure the project was completed on time, and they couldn’t have been more caring and supportive throughout the process. I cannot begin to detail the joy of our congregants when they actually filled in the letters that they themselves dedicated on the scroll. Every family received a wonderful explanation on the meaning of the portion and a mystical view of the letters they wrote, and the rabbi could not have been nicer. Yet, none of these great experience were unexpected, as we had heard from several synagogues that Sofer On Site was a wonderful organization. In fact, we just recently had a Torah Scroll refurbished and look forward to our next project with them, the refurbishing of our very old Megillah. Sincerely ═══════════════════════════════ C ol. Martin Siegel (Ret) - President - Temple Beth Shalom, Fort Walton Beach, FL Dear Rabbi Bialo On behalf of Temple Beth shalom I want to thank Rabbi Salazar and your organization for the excellent service you have provided. The presentation and the writing of letters in the Torah was without doubt the highlight of the many years I have been at the Temple and of my term as President of the Temple. I have attached a copy of the last Temple bulletin with the column I wrote on the history of our Holocaust Torah. My twin brother and I in August traveled to Lithuania. Poland and Czech Republic to in order to find out more information about our family history. We visited many synagogues, cemeteries, museums and many other memorial sites. It was in Prague at the Jerusalem Synagogue that we saw the display about Ledec. Of course the most moving visit was to Auschwitz where we spent a full day. Again, I would like to express my personal thanks for making my term as Temple President a success. This Torah will be used for many generations of Jews in Fort Walton Beach and will be a reminder to “never forget.”
