Dear OZ family,

Another glorious day is before us.

42 years ago this day, the Rebbitzen and I went on our first date. I won her a small stuffed animal at an amusement park, and every day since I do the things that demonstrate that I want to win over her heart again. Let every married person treat marriage as a courtship and there will be a lot more happy marriages. We started treatments yesterday and we’re on a good course to full recovery. We thank everyone for your prayers, notes and gifts, and we look forward to putting this behind us.

We have been at Ohab Zedek for parts of 5 decades, (and we’re still in our 50’s), and every one of you is in our hearts, and you strengthen us to face the road ahead.

May we only share good news. I am including below yesterday's information about the solidarity rally in Washington this Sunday.  

Be well. Stay safe.  Be excellent.

Rabbi Allen Schwartz
