This was a beautiful tribute Dr. Berns, there are few gifts we are given like that of a cherished teacher. Mentorship is truly invaluable, and your words perfectly describe how many of us feel about our beloved educators.

You are already reflecting Sol’s light! I always learn so much from your writings, about language, history, and humanity.

May Sol rest in peace with his union to The Divine.

One recalls the metaphor used by the ancient teacher who, at risk to his life, continued to teach his discipline. ‘More than the calf desires to suck, the cow yearns to suckle.’ Dr Cohen, ob’m, was blessed to have someone like Dr Berns to receive his knowledge. Dr Berns’ lyrical tribute makes it clear that a sacred human essence was transmitted. May the student be so blessed in those who receive his teaching.
