“My father has taught me – as hisfather taught him – thatproviding meticulous service andpersonal attention is not a matterof choice. It is an obligation thatI have to our community. Lifeisn’t about living for yourself. It’sabout helping the less fortunate,contributing to the quality of life

enjoyed by the entire community and demonstrating a commitment totzedakah. As did each member of the Levine family before me, I measuresuccess by the feeling that comes with doing something to help comfort others.A simple thank you is the ultimate reward.

L’dor, V’dor. It’s who we are. It’s what I am. Now in its fifth generation offamily ownership, Joseph Levine & Sons continues to ensure that thememories of our loved ones live on in our hearts.” eniveL nairB–

“My father has taught me – as hisfather taught him – thatproviding meticulous service andpersonal attention is not a matterof choice. It is an obligation thatI have to our community. Lifeisn’t about living for yourself. It’sabout helping the less fortunate,contributing to the quality of life

enjoyed by the entire community and demonstrating a commitment totzedakah. As did each member of the Levine family before me, I measuresuccess by the feeling that comes with doing something to help comfort others.A simple thank you is the ultimate reward.

L’dor, V’dor. It’s who we are. It’s what I am. Now in its fifth generation offamily ownership, Joseph Levine & Sons continues to ensure that thememories of our loved ones live on in our hearts.” eniveL nairB–

Judaism isn’t just what we believe, or the prayers we recite or the laws weobserve. It’s also about the way we live. How we interact with others. Thevalues we practice. The customs and traditions we embrace and pass down,from one generation to the next.
