To Our Beth David Family,
Mourning can be such a heavy and lonesome burden, but we are blessed to be surrounded by our extended Beth David family. From the moment Robyn's mother's passing was known, we were surrounded by love and caring and sympathy and encouragement. It was and remains uplifting!
It was gratifying that so many of you came to the funeral and went on to the cemetery to help us with our final good-byes. When we looked around, all we saw were people we see Shabbat and yom tov who came to ease our grief.
And the food-so much delicious food- generously and lovingly cooked by people who we know are busy with their own lives, or provided by folks who took a little extra time to have us in mind and purchase something delightful and tasty.
Your shiva visits were so comforting and having a minyan each evening without fail was much appreciated. We also appreciate the generous donations in our mother/grandmother's memory.
Thank you for everything. Beth David really is a special shul.
The Etelis/Weller Family

Visiting Author
Sunday, November 23 @ 7:00pm
hosted by Abner and Julie Gershon
19 Buckingham Lane
Please join us as we welcome Dr. Barry Libin, the author of The Mystery of The Milton Manuscript.
From the book's cover - An Oxford student's investigation into his professor's death unveils the hidden meaning of Milton's Paradise Lost amidst a trail of treachery and murder. Brimming with intrigue, mystery, and suspense, this book is a tale of history, literature, forgery, and religious conspiracy that exposes the enigma behind John Milton's epic poem. Paradise Lost is the most widely read and celebrated poem of Western literature and the supreme epic of the English nation and all Christendom. It was written to justify the ways of God to man and explain the moral paradox of evil. But was it truly based on Christian theology, as assumed, or from a different set of beliefs? Some believe that Milton himself wrote a lost manuscript explaining the true meaning of his poem. Was there really such a manuscript? If so, why has it remained concealed for so many years? This novel deals with the search for Milton's true spiritual beliefs.
About the author - Barry Libin is a composer, playwright, lyricist and medical researcher. His commitment to Orthodox Judaism and his daily study of Torah texts contributed to the writing of this novel.
The book is available from Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble.
