Rabbi Milton Balkany lavishes praise on New York politicians Bruce Blakeman, mayor Rudolph Giuliani and governor George Pataki on the opening of the newly renovated Hewlett House as a headquarters for breast cancer education and for their support of this worthy cause.
Our Father In Heaven!
A gentle symphony sounds as You send rain to nourish the earth’s blanket of lush greenery. When raindrops satisfy the thirsty earth and later ascend to become rain once more not a single drop is wasted. Emulating the wisdom of Your creation, Bruce Blakeman’s credo is to carefully and fully utilize the treasures already in our possession. He, together with our friend Senator Alphonse D’Amato, revitalized Hewlett House, a 240 year old farmstead, which had long ago seen crops flourish in its fields. They caused it to bear fruit once more as an educational headquarters central to the battle against the cancer which has robbed so many of our sisters, mothers, our daughters and wives. Though there is little glory in sifting through sheaves of legislative paper to root out that which is superfluous, Bruce Blakeman has searched and found and cut. It is a lesson he has learned well from our esteemed Governor George Pataki and our dear Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Oh G-d, may this symphony of sincere intent and good will reach a soaring crescendo with the blessings of health, success and victory. Amen.
