Speech

A, we are very proud of you. You did a terrific job and never once did we doubt you would. You had some great teachers - Rabbi F, Cantor S, and your Hebrew teacher Mrs. N were very patient and caring. They never doubted your success today either. They believed in you. Dad and I believe in you and we believe you will do great things in your life.

We believe you will live a moral life with righteousness and justice. We believe you will keep up your end of the bargain with the Rabbi and continue to grow and learn as a Jew. We believe you will use the lessons, prayers, and blessings that you studied and learned to help US with your brothers as they continue their education and their place in Jewish life. We believe in you because YOU believe in you. And that, my dear son, is a very good thing. Congratulations, we love you. Mazeltov.
