It Had to be Arie

Greg Berkowitz (son-in-law)

The following letter is a transcription of a FAX that Rosa Lee sent to Greg, her son-in-law, on September 29, 2003, regarding her inability to attend the Rosh Hashanah service where Greg was to chant from the Torah. How lucky Greg is to have had Rosa Lee as his mother-in-law!

September 29, 2003

Dearest Greg,

Some people are knowledgeable enough to chant from the Torah.

Some people are strong enough to lift the Torah and turn it for the Congregation to see.

Some people are able to easily hold and cradle the Torah in their arms as it is carried through the Sanctuary.

“You” are among the select and unique people who can do all the above with ability, dignity and strength. I am so proud of you!

When I awoke on the morning of Rosh Hashanah, I knew I was sick but didn’t know the cause of the problem. I went to the doctor today and it is a low-grade virus that hopefully should be gone in a few days.

Anyway, it made me feel even worse on Saturday knowing I wasn’t well enough to attend services and would miss your chanting from the Torah.

With God’s help, I’ll look forward to attending future services and take pride in your participation.

May good health, meaningful accomplishments and much happiness with your beautiful family be your daily companions.

Hugs, Love, Kisses,

Mom Rosa Lee
