I have had the pleasure of meeting Rabbi Priesand, at the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, where I serve, in a volunteer capacity, as their IT Technical Consultant, and where she was one of the founders of the Museum and served on the Board of Trustees. She contributed to the museum, tremendously, with her sage advice, and was a voice of reason, at the sometimes very long and trying Board of Trustee Meetings. I had not had the pleasure of knowing her in her role as a spiritual leader, but was honored to get to know her, even for just a short time. She is a wonderful, caring, individual, and very obviously dedicated to the Jewish Community of Monmouth County.

On this anniversary of her ordination as the first woman Rabbi, I applaud her for her accomplishments, and send best wishes from a friend from the Museum.
