Beautiful a lovely tribute I like the way you use rings of the tree like the
rings in marriage. The tree for me seems like the tree of knowlege and the
family tree The curl of the scroll is like the pillar of a temple or a
monument or a marriage certificat. The beacon of a lighthouse is also very
signicant showing hope and light. Fifty years is like a golden wedding
anniversary, something to be proud of. I don't know anything about Temple
Beth Ohr. So this is my interpretation of your poem.
