We haven’t yet taken our bikes out for the spring/summer season, but hope that at some point you will be up to joining us! That is my aspirations for you and the Balzacs refreshments are on us!
Sending love and wishes for a full recovery.

I was sorry to learn that you are not well. I so appreciated your phone call last year to express condolences for the passing of my brother – I know that other congregants also appreciate your personal touch. I am wishing you a refuah shleima that will allow you to get back to all that you do so well at HBT.

We were impressed by a fascinating story about the Roher family presented at the HB stained glass.
We like your curiosity and questions about our family and life in Communist Russia. We enjoyed listening and learning from each other!

As a past president I admire and and respect anyone who takes on the burden and honour of being President of Holy Blossom Temple, but in particular you have created and lead a magnificent team and Temple is grateful
May you have a refuah shleimah

Dear Eric,
You’ve taught me how to be a better congregant, board member and enriched my understanding of how to participate better within our community.
Your devotion has been some of my biggest learnings. So much so that I ask, what would Eric do!
With gratitude, Wendy Melvin
To Eric and Family
Dear Eric,
Ever since last November you have always been on my mind.
Along with the congregation and on my own I have been praying and hoping for your recovery.
I have only known you for a few years, but you have made a deep impression on me with your earnest dedication to our community, your gentle kindness and your humility.
You’ve shown us what it looks like to lead with integrity and compassion, and your example has stayed with us in countless quiet ways. Your presence has made a difference—more than you probably ever realized.
