SUMMARY:Be Part of the Legacy | Honoring Sarrae Crane's Years of Service
DESCRIPTION:Be Part of the Legacy | Honoring Sarrae Crane's Years of Servic
 e\n\n\nFor over 9 years our friend and colleague Sarrae Crane has served a
 s Executive Director of MERCAZ USA\, following many years of dedicated Jew
 ish communal service. There is hardly an organization Sarrae has not worke
 d with — particularly in furthering the Zionist dream and strengthening 
 the Conservative Movement. Our lives have been enriched by her creativity\
 , leadership\, and expertise. She leaves behind a tangible legacy and stan
 ds as an incredible dugma — a role model for us all.\n\nWith Sarrae's re
 tirement from her position at MERCAZ USA on December 31\, we feel both dee
 p sadness and immense gratitude. While we miss her daily presence\, we are
  thrilled that she now has the opportunity to spend more time with her won
 derful husband\, Rabbi Jonathan Waxman.\n\nAs a small token of our appreci
 ation for all she has done\, we are compiling a digital tribute book to be
  presented to Sarrae at a gathering in her honor on a date soon to be anno
 unced. We invite you to join us in celebrating Sarrae by purchasing an ad
