Sheldon and Lillian Scharlin In thinking what we would like to express in our “Book of Life”, we thought of all the lofty reasons that have been given and undoubtedly will be given over the years for what we do and why. They could be life’s experiences of having been forced out of your birth country as a result of the Hitler era. They could be our undying love for our Israel, and on and on. But the truth is, we have always had, do now, and will always have a love affair with our people wherever they may be. We hope our contribution together with so many others will fulfill the Jewish dream.
