"I marveled at how Nancy took members of our congregation—members of all ages—and taught and guided
them in the creation of new mantles for our sifre Torah.
She found ways to engage everyone, including folk who insisted that they were not creative in any way,
and then took our work and transformed the various elements into magnificent mantles that some members
began referring to as the 'Magnificent Seven.'
Nancy taught, surely; more important, Nancy helped build community in the process of engaging in hiddur mitzvah."
-Rabbi Marc Berkson
