Over 75 people marked the 3rd yartzeit of Mrs. Esther Aidel (Rubin) Cohen on Sunday, Oct 6th with a special address entitled “Secrets to Satisfying Relationships” by Mrs. Helana Herman, Shlucha from Raleigh, North Carolina at the Maimonides School.
Rabbi Rubin opened the evening by thanking the Legacy Heritage Fund, and local supporters for the books and computers that helped launch the New Maimonides Science, Media, and Library Center. Donations are still needed to fulfill the challenge grant that is the basis of this unique innovative library.
Mushkie Rubin introduced the speaker with heartfelt comments of how this event is a most appropriate tribute to the soul of her sister, Esty obm, who valued and appreciated sincere relationships and treasured books and writings.
Helana Herman, a certified Imago educator, shared her message with warmth, sincerity, passion and humor about the concept and techniques of good communication and safety. “The most important thing to remember,” she said, “is that conflict is growth trying to happen.” She inspired the crowd with lots of food for thought and motivated all to improve their lives and those they communicate with.

Esty’s character is reflected in her name, Aidel – a genuine, refined, modest woman with an aristocratic spirit, regal like Queen Esther. Shining from an early age, Esty showed a deep love and appreciation of learning and was a dedicated and loving mother to her children and family.
