Toby, I am so sorry to hear this news, but glad to hear you are embracing the next chapter. I will be so sorry to miss seeing you at AJL and I really hope you will continue to stay involved!
Love, Heidi Heidi Rabinowitz From: Hasafran [mailto:hasafran-boun...@lists.osu.edu] On Behalf Of Toby Harris Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2017 6:26 PM To: hasafran@lists.osu.edu Subject: [ha-Safran] Another goodbye Dear Friends and Colleagues: The synagogue where I am employed has decided to severely cut the librarian position down to 8 hours a month. Needless to say, I will be leaving by June 15 (maybe June 8). I was informed that they will be planning for a library commons or educational commons, but as is the case for many a synagogue, it may not include a librarian - or at least, not me. Like a Hillel sandwich, I've been feeling the sting of maror but also the sweetness of charoset. The collection here is full of incredible treasures and I have been privileged to tend it and share it for 12 years. Its historical legacy has touched many! It will evolve without me and I will evolve without it. I'm already embracing the next chapter! Though I had planned to attend the conference, I have changed my plans and will not be there this year, sadly. I know that it will be fabulous and I will miss seeing you all! I hope to show up next year, if only for a day or a meal! It has been a great ride and I will likely stay involved with AJL for another year. My home email is toby...@gmail.com<mailto:toby...@gmail.com> in case you would like to stay in touch.
