To the audience of more than 100, Gabe provided a fascinating overview of GPM, explaining what the project seeks to accomplish, the population served, and the model for Jewish community involvement both from Mumbai area residents and students/fellows from around the world. Gabe gave lively examples of his own role and responsibilities and shared the lifelong impact of GPM on his own perspective. In particular, he expressed his deep belief in Tikkun Olam and the Torah’s moral imperative that although no one person, organization or project can repair all that is needed, one cannot desist from trying. Gabe ended his inspiring talk by informing the congregation and students who to contact to follow in his footsteps or connect personally to GPM.
