This is such a wonderful and most well deserved tribute to Alan, who, over the course of so many years, played such a pivotal role in shaping the Jewish community of Massachusetts. While his impact is, in and of itself, a powerful and lasting tribute, the physical space dedicated to Alan – which so many of us remember so well and associate with him – is a tangible and perfect complement toward cementing his legacy.
HaKavod to Center Makor for making this happen. I’ll be there!”
