In Reform Jewish theory, whenever the Torah mentions a 40-year time period it is meant to denote “a very long time.” So in keeping with this theory we can now say that Susan and Stuart Shmookler are married for “a very long time.”
Last Friday, Cantor Sussman bestowed an Anniversary Blessing upon the couple who celebrated 40 years of marriage this past weekend. Smiling and beaming with pride, Susan and Stuart, along with their family, accepted the well wishes of the congregation and the hopes for many more happy years to come.
We rejoice in each milestone we achieve. We share our happiness with our spiritual community and hope to set an example for the next generation. Living a good Jewish life and keeping a loving Jewish home resonates with our children, our neighbors and our community.
Making Judaism a priority in our lives and doing the good works that our faith encourages us to do, gives meaning to our every day existence.
Congratulations to Susan and Stuart who, through 40 years together, has made a difference in the lives of everyone they know and everyone they meet. We wish them many more years of happiness.
