Re: [ha-Safran] I'm retiring!

[Abigail Yasgur via Hasafran]

I knew her when! Ann from working on our MSLIS degrees together in the
1900s (1984-1986) to running into each other at conferences...good work,
sacred work, you kept your head down and did the work. Congratulations on
the retirement thing!

[Sukenic, Harvey via Hasafran]

Ann,

Thank you for everything that you did for the New England chapter over the 
years, for keeping the group together, running our yearly meetings, and for 
running our conference in Cambridge. It's been great working with you over the 
years. I hope you enjoy the next stage of your working life. Looking forward to 
run into you at some concerts.

Shabbat shalom,

Harvey

Dear safranim,

I wanted to share the news with you that after 39 years, I've decided to retire 
as the Librarian of Temple Israel, Boston,  on June 21, 2024.

(I know - some of you are thinking -- wait, didn't she retire already?  That's 
ok if you're thinking that -  you're not alone!  )

As you can imagine, this is a mixed decision for me, as I have loved my job, 
and everything that came with it.   I have been very fortunate to have had this 
fun, enriching,  purposeful career, and you were an important part of why it 
was so fun, enriching and purposeful!  And, often, you made me look very good 
when I needed help with a research request and you came to the rescue!

And, it is time to move on.

And in response to the question I often get, "So, what are you going to do, 
now?"

I've also been fortunate in that I've been teaching English to adult immigrants 
and other English learners for six years, and will teach full-time, starting in 
the fall.  I have loved this work - especially the students -  and it's been a 
gift to learn a new skill at this time of life.  So, although I'll greatly miss 
my work as a librarian, I feel lucky to have a fairly soft landing as 
retirements go.

I want to say thank you to all of you for your many years of collegiality, and 
wonderful times at conferences!   I have learned so much from you, and, as a 
solo librarian like many of us are, I never felt alone with AJL in the wings.

And, for anyone in the Boston area, if you're interested in coming to a Friday 
night service on June 21 where I'll have the opportunity to thank the 
congregation for this wonderful career, please let me know and I'll send you 
the details.  (It will also be zoomed).

Wishing you all a Shabbat filled with Shalom,

Ann

Re: [ha-Safran] I'm retiring!!!!!!

[Elizabeth Vernon via Hasafran]

Hello Gail-

Wow -- it feels like the end of an era. Thank you so much for your
collegiality over the years, be it with ephemera and otherwise. Wishing you
all the very best in your retirement, and glad to hear that our paths will
continue to cross at AJL.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Replacing Gail?  I think they can only if they clone her.

Re: [ha-Safran] I'm retiring!!!!!!

[Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran]

Gail, 
I have enjoyed meeting you. If not for AJL I doubt if our life has ever

You have been a friend in need and in just fun. Things like this are never 
forgotten.
Enjoy your retirement,
Amalia W.
