Dear Mr. and Mrs. Morgenstern,Tonight (your son-in-law) Avi spoke in shul, and what he said has finally inspired" me to write something for the guest book.Avi spoke about two things: about the first halacha in Rambam's (Maimonedes') Hilchos Tshuva (Laws of Repentence) which are so pertinent for this time of the year right before Rosh Hashana the Jewish New Year and he spoke about Nancy. He connected the two in the following point: that in a person's spiritual quest and development he must be inside as he is outside. And that said Avi and as I saw so much from reading the book was Nancy. It is so much easier "appearing" to be a righteous and upright person while surrounded by people who would not expect or even not allow you to act differently.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Morgenstern,Tonight (your son-in-law) Avi spoke in shul, and what he said has finally inspired" me to write something for the guest book.Avi spoke about two things: about the first halacha in Rambam's (Maimonedes') Hilchos Tshuva (Laws of Repentence) which are so pertinent for this time of the year right before Rosh Hashana the Jewish New Year and he spoke about Nancy. He connected the two in the following point: that in a person's spiritual quest and development he must be inside as he is outside. And that said Avi and as I saw so much from reading the book was Nancy. It is so much easier "appearing" to be a righteous and upright person while surrounded by people who would not expect or even not allow you to act differently. But to act in the correct way-- and for Nancy as a religious Jew to follow in the special path which she learned from her family and her people and which she chose so devoutly and enthusiastically to adhere to even in the most remote places and in oftentimes the most difficult circumstances-- is another story entirely. This is the greatest achievement that a Jew can attain: to be the example for upright behaviour amongst the nations and to act in a manner which makes others want to say "this is how we should be". And this your daughter Nancy did with such grace such joy such happiness.The point I'd like to bring out in light of the tremendous help you have given in helping build the shul funding the Kollel the ambulance; in general strengthening the community is that it is so like Nancy: inside just as much as outside to act in a discreet and modest way in achieving the goals of life and provide the example and inspiration for those in the immediate and extended surroundings.We again thank you for all the help you've given us and the community at large and only hope that we are living up to the expectations that in many ways Nancy has set for us at least inasmuch has she has been such a wonderful example.Yerachmiel StrausbergBeis Hamidrash Pnei ShmuelRamat Beit Shemesh"...
