THANK YOU Temple Israel!

We got the tapestry! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Here it is on our hallway wall, right between the living room and the kitchen:



Quick explanation for those who weren’t involved in its creation: at Rosh Hashanah in the Park this past September, Cathe set up a station where Temple Israel members wrote messages or signed their names onto cloth leaves. She then wove all the leaves into this stunning Tree of Life. It’s absolutely amazing! Cathe, I can’t thank you enough. We got it home from the post office and unrolled it on our bed, and I burst into tears. I can’t express to you all what it means to me, to have a little bit of home always, and all those good wishes. I’m ever so grateful to everyone who participated in writing something – I’m completely stunned at the effort that you and Cathe put in. It’s unbelievably heartwarming, and I will keep it always, here in Jerusalem, in Cincinnati next year, and wherever we go after that.

Thank you again – I feel so loved.

Thanks! Describing it on the phone just didn't do it justice.

It did turn out beautifully - last I saw it, it was just a pile of leaves!
