Congrats David!! Fun fact for everyone here: he once beat three of us blindfolded at chess club. THREE. Anyway, don't let today distract you from the fact that you still owe me a rematch ♟️

Proud of you, D. Same focus you bring to the fourth quarter, you brought to that Torah reading. See you at practice Tuesday — no days off, even for a man. Mazel tov.
Rabbi Ellen Steinhis rabbi
David, at our last practice you chanted your haftarah and I stopped correcting and just listened. You were ready weeks ago. Mazel tov to you and your whole family.
Grandpa Solhis grandfather
Your great-grandfather carried that tallit across the ocean in a suitcase with everything he owned. Today you wear it, Duvidl. He would have kvelled. I know I am.
Mom & Dadhis parents
Thirteen years ago the doctor put you in our arms and Dad cried so hard the nurse asked if HE needed a chair. Today you stood at the bimah and we cried all over again. We love you, David. Today and every day after.
