Sam and Lillian Trachtenberg are a very special couple. I admire their tenacity and courage in facing the aging phenomenon, “Getting old isn’t for sissies.”
Sam, a retired university professor, is as knowledgeable and erudite as ever. It is only his body that is letting him down. However, that doesn’t stop Sam and Lillian, his wonderful partner, from enjoying the things that matter to them. Neither snow nor rain nor wind nor sleet stops them from getting out of their house.
We enjoy the dignified and beautiful rendition of the Motzi (blessing over the bread) that Sam recites for all of us at Adult Leisure gatherings.
Sam was originally a volunteer driver for our group. He still attends our program planning meetings.
May Sam and Lillian be blessed with many more good years. They are an inspiration to all of us. |
