A Parting Message from Rabbi Toba August

I love Lev Eisha! And I love sharing this holy, inspiring time with each of you. The music, prayers, songs, teachings, schmoozing, and friendships. It is all here at Lev Eisha. Over the last 26 years, Lev Eisha has held monthly services as well as extra activities such as exciting fundraisers and meaningful retreats. With Cindy’s music supported by Robin, Sharon, Joy, Ruth, Karen, and others, we

• felt uplifted
• sang the prayers and songs with all our hearts and souls
• danced in the aisles
• sometimes shed tears, and
• found healing for our broken hearts, which were then filled with hope and joy.

I know my teachings have opened your souls and minds. People have frequently insisted that when I taught, it was as if messages were directed at each of you personally – exactly what you needed to hear. This is one of the most meaningful compliments a rabbi could ever receive.

Our leadership at Lev has kept us going all these many years. Our presidents and committed board members helped to create programs, raise money, pivot with COVID, and ensure that we are still here today!

June 7, 2025 was our last Lev Eisha service. The Board of Directors has agreed we have reached the end of a long, fruitful, inspiring, and wonderful run.

 For a limited time, you may still leave a message at this number: 424-209-7598.

Thank You! Todah Rabbah – For everything!
Baruch HaTov V’Hamaiteev – Blessed is the One who is Good and who Creates Good!
Todah La’El – Thanks be to God!

With profound humility and gratitude, I thank God, Shechinah, Chai Olamim, for Lev Eisha and for being your rabbi.

Amen!

Rabbi Toba August
