Thanks to Dr. Bob

I have been negligent in failing to mention that Beth Shalom would be crippled in dealing with current crisis without my dear friend Doctor K. (or Dr. Bob, if you prefer). Not only has he been one of our most active volunteers, but he is also ably guiding the congregation through this difficult time.

Last night, after a long board meeting, Bob told me that he feels privileged to be where he is needed and that he finds spiritual fulfillment in what he is doing. I admire his sense of mission. His leadership is essential to the shul and his friendship is one of my greatest treasures. May God strengthen his hands.

Our board meeting consisted of a narrative. Bob tried to tell the story of everything that has happened in our community in the past two weeks. It took more than two hours. I listened and wondered how we did it all. And then I remembered that, for one thing, we had Bob.
