The customs and traditions we embrace and pass down, from one generation to the next. “My father has taught me – as his father taught him – that providing meticulous service and personal attention is not a matter of choice. It is an obligation that I have to our community. Life isn’t about living for yourself. It’s about helping the less fortunate, contributing to the quality of life enjoyed by the entire community and demonstrating a commitment to tzedakah. As did each member of the Levine family before me, I measure success by the feeling that comes with doing something to help comfort others. A simple thank you is the ultimate reward. L’dor, V’dor.
