"Where were you on Monday, January 7, 1980?"

If you had been in the office at 1666 Windsor Road you would have been welcoming Marion Schechter on her first day of work at Temple Emeth. Some of us (Marion included) remember it as if it were yesterday. To others, it must seem like a historical event. We want to devote our message this month to acknowledging, honoring and celebrating Marion's two decades of devoted service to Temple Emeth, its staff and, most significantly, each of its member families.

The length of Marion's tenure is in itself remarkable. Rabbi Sigel was in our pulpit for thirty­ two years and at least one of our Religious School teachers has been with us longer, but Marion's twenty-year tenure puts her near the head of the pack by a significant margin. Longevity, however, is the least of Marion's credentials.

Who among us, be it past or present officers, board members, professional staff, committee chairpersons, or individual congregants has not had some aspect of Temple life explained or facilitated by Marion? The answer is virtually no ne. Who among us has not been supported, congratulated, encouraged or, more often than many of us care to remember, jollied out of a black mood? Again, we suggest the answer is most of us.

Over the past twenty years we have had three (soon to be four) rabbis, three cantors, three directors of the Early Childhood Center and at least four directors of our Religious School. Countless members of our custodial and administrative staff have come and gone in that time. The one constant, overseeing the transitions, smoothing the bumps and holding our congrega­ tional hand, has been Marion. She has been both confidante and "confessor" to Emeth's presi­ dents, rabbis and cantors. She has celebrated our triumphs and mourned our losses. In a word, she is our history.

Words cannot really express what Marion means to the two of us. We do, however, under­ stand how much she means to Temple Emeth. By devoting this page to singing her praises, we hope that you, our fellow congregants, will gain some and knowledge of what Marion Schechter means to us all.

To Marion we say, Kol haKavod! May we enjoy each other's company for many more years. I
