Dear Rabbi Alexander Davis:

As your congregants, we are writing with one simple purpose: To tell you that we treasure you as our rabbi, as our teacher and as our friend. We want you to stay at Beth El, and we want you to be happy here. (And just in case it needs to be said, the same goes for you, Rabbi Olitzky!)

With respect and love,

Your Beth El Family

Dear Dr. Bonnie Bongard Goldish and the rest of the Beth El Board of Trustees:

We expect you to figure out how to make this happen. Thank you.
