A Very Special Thank You Letter
Dear Rabbi Glazer,
Our family cannot thank you enough for providing such a wonderful, memorable, and special Bat Mitzvah experience for us.
From the very start – our initial conversations and introduction – you have been nothing but warm, caring, and supportive of us and our daughter. Your calm and encouraging demeanor worked towards a fantastic coming of age experience for us all, with very little pressure.
With your guidance and assistance, our daughter was able to prepare the best way possible for her special day. I have no doubt that the manner and approach you took made this experience extra meaningful for her – one that springboard her on her Jewish path of living and learning.
You remained open and inviting to us all with regard to the service, the Torah, and ongoing education. We really appreciated the extra education and instruction you provided with regard to the Torah and the lettering. Your approach really afforded a relaxing and educational experience where the art and beauty of Judaism could be shared instead of being kept strict and rigid.
You were available and responsive to all our communications, providing additional insights and recommendations. You could not have selected and coordinated a more perfect place for us and for the ceremony. We can’t wait to see all of the pictures!
As parents of daughters, we want nothing more than to afford them opportunities and equality in all facets of life. We are strongly in support of the Women of the Wall, so that they too can celebrate their religion and beliefs to the fullest extent possible. So, your Torah scroll selection was most appropriate, meaningful, and led to our donation at the end of the service – in honor of our daughter and of you.
We certainly didn’t expect such a wonderful response from them nor the presentation of a Bat Mitzvah certificate, tallit, and other ritual items! Once again, these thoughts and acts of generosity emphasize and reinforce what a special and meaningful event it was under your guidance.
We find it hard to believe that you have moved on from the congregational rabbinate (other than leading High Holiday services in Hawaii) as you bring a great energy and enthusiasm to your teachings.
I certainly wish I had had a Rabbi such as yourself when growing up. You have a great, hands on approach to learning and teaching and are so much more approachable than the rabbis we have thus far come to know.
We feel extremely blessed to have begun a relationship with you and sincerely thank you for all of your time, energy, and efforts! – Jeff, New Orleans, LA
