Dear Liza, I am shocked and saddened by the utter recklessness of Temple Emanuel in eliminating your position. It demonstrates how shortsighted the leadership of the institution must be. I've had the privilege of seeing your library first-hand and admiring your work. Over the years you have been instrumental in helping me and many others with your generous sharing of knowledge. It's really a sad day for all of us. Joyce
