The Power of Partnership

Yael Eckstein  |  July 30, 2019

Yael Eckstein  |  June 12, 2019
I was blessed to have a father like Rabbi Eckstein, and I pray that I can follow his example as an effective leader, humble servant of God, and loving parent. But this Father’s Day I will also give thanks for our heavenly Father, who loves us with an everlasting love for all of eternity.
