“My father has taught me – as hisfather taught him – thatproviding meticulous service andpersonal attention is not a matterof choice. It is an obligation thatI have to our community. Lifeisn’t about living for yourself. It’sabout helping the less fortunate,contributing to the quality of life

enjoyed by the entire community and demonstrating a commitment totzedakah. As did each member of the Levine family before me, I measuresuccess by the feeling that comes with doing something to help comfort others.A simple thank you is the ultimate reward.
