I would like to congratulate Raquel Egozi Behar, a great member of the South Florida community and a dear friend. Next month Raquel will be recognized by the Miami Jewish Health Systems as the 2010 Mother of the Year. Her dedication and selfless service to the Latin Auxiliary and the Miami Jewish Health Systems have been exceptional. It is a testament to her character and her sense of community. Raquel has also worked with the Miami Jewish Health Systems music therapy program. Despite all of her community service and engagement, the role she cherishes most of all is that of being a mother and a grandmother. Her values and her principles have inspired her loved ones. Her daughter, Luisa, has become an active member of the Latin Auxiliary, serving on its board and her grandson, Max, has also become involved with the Auxiliary and the Miami Jewish Health Systems. Raquel and her wonderful family are truly examples of L'dor V'dor, from generation to generation. I am proud to call Raquel a friend and South Florida is fortunate to have her. Congratulations, Raquel, on this award.
