Ayelet - Our deepest sympathies are with you and your family; David remembers her from the Federation, and I always enjoyed visiting with her at Beth Hillel and at the JCC; she was so alive, so talented and creative - I loved it when she shared her poetry with me. An extraordinary woman. May her memory be as a blessing to you all.
