Love of Torah and translation of -ludaism's highest ideals into action can be taught solely by example. Rabbi Metzger, a most highly respected teacher and a most deeply devoted friend has taught these by his example in and out of the classroom. He has shown that Torah must govern every facet of one's existence, making it a moral and ethical one. Through his warmth, friendliness, and concern, Rabbi Metzger has stressed the importance of the relationship between man and his fellow men, an attribute so often neglected. He has shown by his every action that the Torah is a living one, one that fills, enriches, and elevates every aspect of our existence. In essence, he has shown that Torah is synonymous with life. Rabbi Metzger's interest in his students does not end on the class- room doorstep. A lively sense of humor accompanied by a sincere concern for the girls, has encouraged many of them to seek his help. He himself often approaches his pupils to offer assistance, his optimistic and cheerful attitude frequently solving half the problem. More than for his numerous assists, we are indebted to Rabbi Metzger for giving purpose and meaning to our lives, for showing us the way to become better human beings. Dedicating this yearbook to Rabbi Metzger is a mere token of our gratitude to him for his ever-growing devotion to us. We can only thank Rabbi Metzger by following the path of Torah he has started us on, and by giving what he has instilled in us to others - love of Torah, love of Judaism, love and fear of the Omnipotent, and love and respect for all mankind. G-d willing, our future actions will bear testimony to our deep feeling of gratefulness and obligation to Moreinu ve Rabeinu Hanichbad, Rav Metzger.
