Sunday, May 7, 2017 Congregation AABJ&D Dinner 51st Shul Dinner

Kessler Minyanaires

We are so pleased you are joining us this evening for Congregation Ahawas Achim B’nai Jacob & David’s 51st Annual Dinner. Tonight, we have gathered together to honor four most deserving couples and celebrate the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. We salute Pam & R’ Matt Greenwood, our Guests of Honor; Robin & Daniel Amster, the Rabbi Alvin and Marylin Marcus Keter Shem Tov recipients; Rachel & Stephen Isler, Young Leadership awardees; and Lee & Stan Saal, recipients of the Legacy Award. We also bestow the Service Award upon the Kessler Minyanaires. All of you have given so much to the Shul and the community at large in different and quiet ways. None of you is looking for the kavod, but you surely deserve it and we thank you for allowing us to publicly honor you tonight. Tonight’s honorees have put community first and foremost in their lives for many years, dedicating their time, talent, and guidance to the Shul. AABJ&D did not become what it is today in a vacuum. We are fortunate to have so many hardworking and dedicated volunteers step up to the plate. With the help of Rabbi Marcus, Rabbi Zwickler, Rabbi Sharbat and people like our honorees, AABJ&D and West Orange continue to be warm and vibrant. We have experienced much growth, and happily continue to welcome new families every year. As co-chairs of the Dinner, we would like to thank the hard-working office staff and the many individual volunteers who served on various committees to help make tonight a success. On behalf of the members of Congregation AABJ&D, our heartfelt appreciation goes to each and every one of you for your support. Last, but certainly not least, we express continuing thanks to Mickey, David and Travis Weiss of The Wilshire Grand Hotel for their beautiful venue--a most appropriate setting for a lovely communal evening. May Hashem bless our Shul and community for many years to come.

As we celebrate our Shul’s 51st annual dinner, we are only days away from one of the most significant moments of our lifetime. The theme of the Dinner this year is the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Yerushalayim which takes place on the 28th of Iyar. Yerushalayim has historically always represented the hopes and dreams of our people throughout the millennia, and represents the longing of our people to return home. Today, in our times it's relatively easy to believe in the destiny of the Jewish people. Just a generation ago, that belief would have been questioned by many. We are most grateful to Hashem for allowing us to live in a generation where we can witness His miracles and our peoples return to His most beloved city. It is appropriate that during a month that we collectively celebrate this incredible moment in history, we at AABJ&D pay tribute to couples who have enhanced our community by their dedication and devotion to our Shul. These are couples who inspire hope in the future health of our Shul community. Our guests of honor Rabbi Matt and Pam Greenwood have devoted a tremendous amount of their personal time and energy to ensuring that our Shul experience is enhanced by service to our minyanim and our Youth department. They lead with determination, passion, and commitment. They are truly deserving of tonight’s honor. Danny and Robin Amster have devoted themselves on multiple levels to the wellbeing of our Shul membership. Their positive approach and warm personalities enhance our Shul in many ways. They too are most deserving of the award they receive tonight. For years Lee Saal would spend Shabbat mornings putting a smile on generations of our youth through her storytelling. There is little that Stan and Lee collectively would not do when the Shul needed them. It is our opportunity to thank them tonight. Stephen and Rachel Isler represent the future. From setting the lights to chairing committees, they are invested in the future of our Shul and are most deserving of the award they receive tonight. Finally, the individuals who walk in the heat and freezing cold to make a minyan that heals the sick: Thank you to our Kessler Minyanaires. You are the pride of our community. Lshana Habaah BiYersushalayim Habenuyah! --Rabbi Eliezer Zwickler ב"ה When Yaffa and I moved into West Orange 34 years ago, I never dreamed that I would be honored to serve as the President of AABJ&D. Yet, when the committee approached me three years ago, I recognized the enormity of the challenge and followed in the footsteps of two of my brothers in becoming a president of a prestigious shul. It is an honor for which I am deeply grateful and I will always remember the trust that this congregation had in me to elect me to serve as President of AABJ&D for three years.

.All beginnings are difficult ,כל ההתחלות קשות The Mechilta of Rabbi Yishmael on Parshat Yitro teaches us that Three years ago, I too felt the challenges of serving as President of AABJ&D. A shul President is on call 24/7. The President is expected to do everything and is responsible for everything. One’s business and one’s family life are affected by being President. Adjusting to the life of being President of AABJ&D and incorporating the presidency into one’s daily activities takes time. That is probably the greatest difficulty. But along with the challenges come successes and satisfaction.

The highlight of my presidency was celebrating our shul’s Jubilee year, a culmination of years of planning which Mali Schwartz and her committee undertook even before I became President. On that special night, we thanked Rabbi and Mrs. Marcus for their many years of service to our community. We also paid tribute to Mickey Weiss, the one founding member whose acts of Chessed I personally have tried to emulate. Mickey, a respected pillar of the community, in his own unique way, has given tirelessly to the shul for so many years without expecting an ounce of gratitude.

In addition to the Jubilee celebration, this past year, our Marketing Committee created a spirit and energy of rebirth within the West Orange Jewish community that influenced 18 new families to relocate to West Orange and to join AABJ&D. The list of shiurim and classes continues to grow, and we continue to attract influential and prestigious speakers to serve as Scholars in Residence. New programs, spearheaded by Debbie Buechler, in Israeli dancing, cooking and Jewish History have all been well attended. Most importantly, we have started to realize that we are all stakeholders in the West Orange Jewish community and not just consumers. We must give of ourselves if we expect to benefit. It is this perspective that will serve the community well in the coming years.

None of our accomplishments and innovations could have been achieved without the tireless efforts of so many of you. You should be proud of what we have done in building upon the work of those who served before me. I am forever grateful to Rabbi Zwickler and Rabbi Sharbat for their counsel and assistance on so many issues. In addition, the Officers and Board of Directors dedicated themselves to the many successes that we enjoyed and to the milestones that we celebrated together. .and thank you so much for your support, encouragement and help "יישר כחך “ ,To each of you I say

I am also deeply thankful to Yaffa and to my children. Being President put demands on their lives and they willingly sacrificed some of our time together for the sake of the shul.

Finally, if beginnings are difficult, know that endings seem even more difficult. While there are always missed opportunities and unfinished challenges that one reflects upon, as well as items that could have been done differently, I know that I mostly will miss working with all of you on a daily basis. It has been a pleasure, an honor, and a privilege to serve as President of AABJ&D, and I close by simply saying to you, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart”.

As we celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem this evening, let us take a moment to honor the young men and women of the Israel Defense Forces, who made it possible by their devotion to the safety of our homeland, .לעולם ועד where we shall remain

Thank you to everyone who has served in the IDF to protect our land and people. We must take a moment to remember all those who lost their lives doing so.

* Thank you to everyone who submitted their name Pam & Rabbi Matt Greenwood

There are few parts of the AABJ&D community that Pam and Matt Greenwood haven’t impacted since moving to West Orange in 2004, after learning about the community from Charlie and Rebecca Feldman. A native of New Jersey, Pam is a secretary on the Mikvah’s board and is an active member of the Youth Committee. She has run two searches for youth directors and was involved in establishing the program model for Minyan Katan. Pam has also led the youth department as its chair and served on AABJ&D’s board for six busy years. An occupational therapist who works at Ramah camps during the summer, Pam founded the West Orange women’s Kabbalat Shabbat gathering and the women’s Simchat Torah celebration. She serves on the national board of JOFA.

Matt, a technologist at a Manhattan investment firm, has been an AABJ&D board member for two years and gabbai for the past five years. In that role, he organizes leining at the upstairs minyanim each week, often leining the parsha himself. Matt obtained smicha in 2005, and since then he regularly gives shiurim at shul and elsewhere in the community. In the past, Matt has been involved in raising funds for the eruv and helped lead the local Cub Scouts troop. He serves as a national board member of Gesher. Together with Liat, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Nursing, Dov, a 17-year old senior at Frisch, Sefi, a 14-year old Freshman at Frisch, and Sarit, an 11-year old sixth grader at Kushner, the Greenwoods say they most appreciate the warmth and nurturance of the community and the wide variety of spiritual, learning and social programming offered at the Shul.

Robin & Daniel Amster Robin and Danny Amster are the perfect recipients of The Rabbi Alvin and Marylin Marcus Keter Shem Tov Award – they have nothing bad to say about anyone and nobody has a bad word to say about them, either. The Amsters are honest, hard-working, truly nice people and they consider the shul to be their second home. This is not surprising, as they met through Robin’s involvement in the shul, married and settled in West Orange and have been active members of the community ever since. A quintessential Jersey girl is Robin. She was born in Perth Amboy three weeks early – which is not surprising, since she never likes to be late for anything – and grew up in Edison and then Highland Park. Her parents were educators and very active in the greater Jewish community, so Robin learned by example at an early age. She attended Hillel Academy, Solomon Schechter, Brandeis, Hebrew U and got her MBA from Rutgers. Throughout her schooling, she was active in various Jewish causes, always with passion and a big smile on her face. Professionally, Robin has been in corporate sales and has consistently risen through the ranks with her unique blend of knowledge, perseverance and empathy. When her job moved to Roseland in 1987, she was encouraged by her friends Sharon and Jerry Volk to leave Elizabeth and come live in West Orange. She took their sage advice, moved into the Conforti apartments and jumped right into community life. Robin immediately became active in Sisterhood (volleyball a specialty), worked on kiddushim, phone squad, programming and hospitality. No wonder she was honored at the Donor Dinner a few years ago. Robin was later asked to join the Youth Committee Task Force and eventually moved up to become Youth Committee chair. She was, and still is, on the shul board, became a vice president and eventually chaired the board, the first female to hold that role. Robin also tapped into her professional training to assist with the Jewish Job Network and helped formulate HR policies for the shul. She chaired the Rabbinic Assistant search committee, did dinner solicitations, is a volunteer with the Chevra Kadisha and recently, was a Leil Limud speaker. All of this activity got her noticed and befriended by people in shul, which eventually led Lisa Schwarzbaum to introduce Robin to her brother’s friend, Danny Amster. Danny grew up in Washington Heights, the son of immigrants from Berlin. His father was actually rounded up on Kristallnacht, but luckily, had the papers needed to be released and go to the U.S. His parents worked hard to put Danny through Soloveitchik, MTA and Queens College – where he got a degree in economics. Danny used his business acumen in several different arenas. He first become a reinsurance accountant, then owned and operated an auto parts store, and later became a parts wholesaler. After several years, Danny went back to school and began a second career as an I.T. business analyst, which he has been doing for the past 20 years. Danny first came to West Orange in 1990 to go on a blind date with Robin, and the rest, as they say, is history. The pair was married almost one year later to the day – in West Orange, of course – and Danny continued on the community path which Robin had begun. They are the proud parents of David, Sherry (born unexpectedly in their West Orange apartment parking lot) and Joe, and all are fixtures on Dale Drive. Danny has been active in the shul, serving on two dinner committees (not this year, though) and co-chairing the Sustaining Membership drive. His lifelong love for vintage cars helped the shul several years ago, when he was tapped to drive eruv specialist Rabbi Eider and the entire shul eruv committee around in his huge 1975 Olds Delta 88 convertible. What a sight that was! Besides anything automotive, Danny enjoys fixing things around the house and watching old Star Trek episodes. In her spare time, Robin runs 5Ks and also runs an informal support group for cancer survivors. Together, Robin and Danny have emulated and continued what Rabbi and Marylin Marcus started in West Orange so many years ago – love of the shul, love of the community and love of life. Rachel & Stephen Isler Rachel and Stephen Isler began their work for the shul shortly after moving to West Orange in 2003, a year after getting married. Rachel, a native of Rockaway, NJ who currently teaches in the same middle school she once attended, became active in AABJ&D’s Minyan Katan and joined the youth committee, recently helping lead the hiring process for a new youth director. She also is a blood-drive volunteer. Stephen, who grew up in Floral Park, Queens and is a credit card marketing executive at Citigroup, is part of the committee that makes sure the lights, air conditioning and other essentials are in working order each week. He is also a gabbai at the downstairs minyan, helps in many other behind-the-scenes roles and is a board member. Together with their children, Ruthie, 12, Elisheva, 9 and Shua, 6, the Islers say they love the AABJ&D community’s warmth. “People still come up to me asking if we just moved here and if they can be of help,” Rachel says.

Lee & Stan Saal

Lee and Stan Saal have been valued members of the AABJ&D community for the past 44 years. Their story begins back in the 1930’s. Lee grew up in the old Westside of Chicago. Her European parents moved to Palestine in 1920, where they worked to drain the swamps and help settle the land. Eventually, they moved to America. Lee attended public school, Hebrew and Yiddish school. She got a secretarial job right out of high school and attended night school for 13 years, obtaining a degree in Education and Early Childhood. To make ends meet, the industrious Lee also moonlighted as a camera girl in several Chicago nightclubs, where she snapped pictures of celebrities like Celeste Holm and Harry Belafonte. Lee met Stan, a US Army soldier, in 1958 and they wed one year later.

Stan started out in Saratoga Springs, NY, where his immigrant parents ran a butter and egg business. Seeking warmer weather for their creamery, the family relocated to Miami when Stan was five. He attended regular school, Hebrew school and worked in the creamery. This experience gave Stan his lifelong interest in food technology, his major from University of Miami. After graduation, the Korean conflict intervened and Stan was drafted into the Army. He reported to Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where he managed to keep kosher and even put on tefillin during basic training. He was transferred to the Quartermaster Food Research Lab in Chicago, working in food product development. Stan was part of the team doing cutting edge experiments with freeze dried peas and corn. Some of his product even went up with the astronauts on early space flights. Stan stayed in the industry as a civilian, and holds a patent on an early stage cryogenic freezer. Eventually, Lee and Stan opened their own business together – Shemen Tov – distributors of essential oils, flavors and fragrances. Stan was vice president while Lee was president, so she has been bossing him around for years! In 1965, the Saals moved to Elizabeth, NJ. Fortunately, they lived down the block from Selma and Joel Daner. When the Daners moved to West Orange, they encouraged the Saals to join them – which they did, in 1973– with their three boys; Sam, Matt and Dani. They quickly became active in community life. Lee helped set up Kiddush for Shabbat, while Stan helped do the shopping. Lee was Sisterhood secretary, helped at Bingo fundraisers, was a Board member and co-chair of the Russian immigrant resettlement committee. She parlayed her professional experience as a nursery school and day camp director into a 37-year stint as beloved leader of AABJ&D’s Story Hour. Stan organized the blood bank, volunteered with the local Boy Scouts pack and is involved with the Jewish War Veterans.

Lee and Stan are now the proud grandparents of eight. They are active in The Felice Blank Senior Program, Together on Tuesday at the shul and are looking forward to celebrating Stan’s upcoming second Bar Mitzvah. The Legacy Award could not have gone into better hands. Kessler Minyanaires

Wilshire Caterers Lee & Stan, Robin & Danny, Rachel & Stephen, and our dedicated Minyanaires, We could not have asked for a more committed, warm, and menschlich cohort. It is our privilege to share this evening's honors with you; the tapestries of our lives have intersected in too many ways to recount on a single page. We are grateful for all that you have done and will continue to do to ensure the strength and vibrancy of this community.

We would like to extend a Hakarat Hatov to the dinner committee for putting together this special evening, with special thanks to Mindy and Kenny Saibel for serving as our ambassadors.

Finally, we acknowledge the friends and family who have traveled from afar to be with us on this occasion. We hope to share many smachot with you in the future!

Pam and Matt "וכל מי שעוסקים בצרכי צבור" Mazal Tov to Robin and Danny on receiving The Rabbi Alvin & Marylin Marcus Keter Shem Tov Award We have seen Robin give of her time and effort to make our shul a better place for all, and we appreciate her level of commitment

"עולם חסד יבנה" Kudos to all of the Kessler Minyanaires What you do week in week out is extraordinary and quite amazing. You have given West Orange a name that stands out as a community of chesed.

"אמר מאט ועשה הרבה" To our neighbors and friends Pam and Matt, you brought the model of Minyan Katan to our shul and have been involved with our youth. You served our shul as board members and as gabbai. You are humble in your ways but accomplish much.

To Rachel and Stephen You are the definition of “hit the ground running.” Since you have moved to town you have been involved in our shul. We appreciate all that you have done for our youth, the house committee, and now as gabbai.

Lee and Stan you can be counted on to help whenever needed. Lee, your smile can light up a room. It is that illumination that made story hour the highlight of our four children's Shabbat morning. Your loving and sweet personality has nurtured hundreds of children as leader of story hour. We appreciate your love and dedication. Stan, your help with coordinating the blood drive for so many years is a true example for us all.

Andrea and Bryan Bier When we moved to West Orange, we found many opportunities to get involved with the shul and the community. Rabbi Marcus encouraged us to invite people for Shabbat and chagim. Mark Goldberg made a plea to the congregation to invite some of the Iranian students to our seders. We volunteered. That was the beginning of our Iranian connection to our treasured Iranian families— Sanie Fard, Nemiroff, Moradi and others. When Rabbi Marcus asked for volunteers to drive newly arrived Russian boys to Brooklyn for brit milah, we met young Rabbi Kanelski. We continued our connection with Russian immigrants as co- chair with Sol Zimmerman on the AABJ&D committee to help with the resettlement of many families. The entire congregation volunteered. Apartments were furnished, pantries and refrigerators were filled with food, doctors examined and treated. Harold Kushner and Rubin Pizem volunteered as translators; so important when several families needed emergency medical attention. Many families reached out to drive, help with shopping, and to host for Shabbat, Seder and Chagim. It was truly a love fest! The Minyanaires walk to the Kessler Rehabilitation Center in all weather to provide patients with a Minyan on Shabbat, the Chagim and often visit in the evenings. Patients have made connections with these caring men. We know that the other honorees have served the shul and the community in many ways and we salute you all. Your time, energy and devotion are what makes this congregation GREAT. Each of us has received much more than we gave by volunteering. We are so proud to be honored with you. Rabbi Zwickler’s encouragement of volunteering provides a model for us all to follow. Stan-Lee Saal

Mazel tov to all the honorees. They exemplify all that is amazing about our synagogue community. May they, in strength and good health, continue their dedication and leadership for many years to come.

Pam and Matt: Congratulations on being the Guests of Honor. It is very well-deserved. Matt’s service as a Gabbai, a thankless, difficult role, at the 9:15 Shabbat Minyan is SO wonderful. It is incredible how much time and effort Matt invests in laining SO often year round at the Shabbat Hashkama and 9:15 Minyanim.

Robin and Danny: Thank you for all you do for the Shul. Robin’s leadership activities on the Board and Executive Committee have been special, skilled and SO appreciated. Her special consulting role has been invaluable.

Lee and Stan: From the moment we moved into West Orange 42 years ago, we realized you were tremendous assets of the Community. We always knew our son was in wonderful hands when he attended Lee’s group on Shabbat mornings.

Rachel and Stephen: You and your age peer group are the future of AABJ&D. Your active roles and the effective manner in which you fill them indicate the Shul’s future is in VERY good hands!

Kessler Minyanaires: Your dedication to provide a Shabbat Minyan at Kessler as necessary is something that makes us very proud to call West Orange home. It is a distinction that highlights to guests and potential residents why West Orange is such a special community. כל הכבוד! Hattie & Arthur Dubroff

To Pam and Matt, who have enhanced our community with scholarship, generosity, service and dialogue. To Robin and Danny, who have served our shul and school humbly and with refreshing optimism. To Rachel and Steve, who have set a great example for volunteerism. To the Saals, whose constant smiles have been brightening the lives of each shul generation for so many years. To the Kessler minyanaires, for extending themselves so greatly on behalf of all who have needed healing at Kessler

With much appreciation, Bobbi and Michael Luxenberg and Family To Lee & Stan: The Legacy Award could not go to a more deserving couple. You are true partners in all that you do – Stan-Lee – it’s apparent that you are a unique pair who are so diverse in your volunteer activities We don’t remember Bingo night, but we do remember how Lee helped the Russian immigrants resettle, your talent with young children you put to good use running Story Hour for almost 4 decades, and how Stan organized the blood bank, and volunteered with the local Boy Scouts. May you continue to be involved in communal activities in good health for many years to come!

To Pam & Matt: Pam, you have used your leadership skills to enhance women’s participation in so many ways – founding the West Orange Women’s Kabbalat Shabbat gathering as well as the Women’s Simchat Torah celebration. Helping to establish the program model for Minyan Katan has helped to enrich our children’s role in shul. Matt – you have ably served as gabbai spreading your love of learning throughout the community, raised needed funds for the eruv and participated with the Cub Scouts troop. Mazel tov on being the Guests of Honor! May you continue to go from strength to strength!

To Robin & Daniel: Robin – we are so proud of all your efforts in enhancing AABJ&D. Your smile is contagious and you spread positivity – such an important trait. Thanks for everything you have done from chairing the Youth Committee, serving on the Rabbinic Assistant search committee – the fact that you are the only woman who has served as Chairperson of the Board says it all. Danny – serving as Sustaining Membership Drive co-chair has brought needed funds into the shul. You are truly deserving of being the recipients of the Rabbi Alvin & Marylin Marcus Keter Shem Tov Award!

To Rachel & Stephen: We need young members’ involvement. Your roles on the youth committee, being a blood-drive volunteer, serving as gabbai and on the house committee, serve to encourage other young members to become involved with shul activities. Mazel Tov on receiving the Young Leadership Award! Thank you for all your efforts!

To the Kessler Minyanaires: You exemplify the mitzvah of Bikur Cholim as representatives of the West Orange community. Walking on a weekly basis to Kessler Institute to provide a minyan is a true chesed. You develop relationships with the patients and lift their spirits while recovering. Congratulations on receiving the Service Award and may you continue with your good deeds for many years to come!

The Keter Shem Tov award is so appropriate for such a warm and friendly couple & family To Lee and Stan We appreciate having such pleasant neighbors who have been able to advise us on very practical building matters-mostly for good. Lee, you were a wonderful story hour leader who was able to keep the children engrossed and disciplined-not always an easy task-especially with our more energetic children Rachel and Stephen Mazel tov on the Young Leadership Award The Kessler Minyanaires You are an incredibly dedicated group of volunteers Lee and Beth Hindin Mazel tov and thank you to the Honorees for all you have done on the Community's behalf. We wish you many more healthy years, filled with simcha and nachas. Pam and Reb Matt - your commitment, caring, love and tireless efforts have had such an impact on our Shul. Your love of Torah and Klal Yisrael, coupled with your humility, are inspirational and we are lucky to have you as such leaders in our Shul and personally, as dear friends. You truly honor our Community with your presence and genuinely deserve this recognition. May your children learn from all your deeds and accomplishments, and be fortunate enough to follow in your footsteps. Robin and Danny – a good name is better than good oil, and with the name you have created for yourselves, you have truly struck it rich. Not only for your family, but you give our Community a wonderful name. Your sincere commitment to Torah values, tradition and community is inspirational and a model to others. It is what guarantees our people perpetual existence – in name and deed, and you have proven to be a fine guarantor. May all your children keep adding to your good name and truly appreciate its source. Lee and Stan - your commitment and contribution to the Shul and greater community is ageless. Every age group has benefited from your efforts. You give all of yourselves in everything you do (although you have probably taken more blood from the Shul than you have given). Our entire family has such fond feelings for the two of you. You truly are a wonderful couple and Shul legacy. May many others learn from, and emulate your efforts and achievements. Rachel and Stephen – without young leadership, there would be a dim future. You make our future bright. Neither leadership nor youth is bound by age. Leadership is a type of character and youth is a state of mind. May you always have character and be forever young.

You are the ultimate "power couple". Your family, friends, & community are so fortunate to have you in our lives. We are so proud to call you "our close friends". May Hashem continue to grant you many more years of health & happiness together, Kessler Minyanaires Rain, Sleet, Snow, Heat you all take the trek to Kessler how admirable.

Mazal Tov to all the other worthy honorees! Your hard work and sincerity have helped our shul to grow, and offer wonderful programs and services to our members.

A special Yasher Koach to the Kessler Minyanaires! You personify the word Chesed by bringing the mitzvah of Bikur Cholim to those who need it most. Just like the slogan for our mailmen, “neither rain nor shine, hail or sleet” prevents you from trekking to Kessler to bring Shabbat and Yom Tov joy to people who need this encouragement and the feeling that others care about them when they are most vulnerable.

The Office Staff of Congregation AABJ&D They sailed through the atrium, in and out of weeks and over many many years, to where the stories were. They promised to be good. But it is easy for little monkeys to forget. Sometimes the children rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws, till the story teller said “BE STILL” and tamed them with the magic trick of reading. Mazel Tov to our most deserving honorees.

Then all around from far away across the world they smelled good things to eat. So they waved good-bye and sailed back over many many years and in and out of weeks. Linda & David Lewinter At the Kiddush the hungry caterpillars ate through one piece of cake, one piece of herring, one cookie, one cup of grape juice, two spoons of egg salad, five potato chips and three pretzels.
