Today is Rabbi Marmur’s 80th Birthday!
According to Pirkei Avot, 80 is the age of strength. We wish Dow and Fredzia a hearty Mazel Tov as they celebrate this milestone birthday. May they know only strength and peace as they walk the streets of Jerusalem together.
To send a birthday greeting, comment below.
Dear Dow,
If you were here, I’d offer you an aliyah to the Torah and you’d decline. Not your thing. And yet, you walk with such purpose that it seems you are always on Aliyah. If Reb Nachman said, “Wherever I go, I go to Jerusalem,” we could say of you, “Wherever you go, you go up to the Torah.” When you walk with your chin up, sometimes your hands clasped behind your back, your walk is a deliberate ascent in thought, in word, in deed. This is what makes you so easy to admire.
Although I miss you here, I delight in picturing you and Fredzia enjoying the wondrous intensity of Jerusalem each week and the wondrous shalom of Jerusalem each Shabbat. When you gather today with family and friends to celebrate your birthday, know that we in Toronto are raising our glasses to toast you as well. L’Chayim!
With love and admiration,
Yael.
Mazel Tov Rabbi Marmur.
Best wishes for many more years of health and wellbeing. You and Fredzia remain in our thoughts and prayers and give us guidance and inspiration even from afar.
Happy Birthday.

Dear Dow,
It must be very gratifying to reach 80 and, as you can, look back with pride at such achievements as yours. Now look forward with joy to long life, good health and loving family and friends.
Can you give me some pointers on becoming an octogenarian with grace and joie de vive? I’m getting there in a few weeks and need input from a pro!!
Love to you and Fredzia,
Sandy Atlin
