“Steve Drysdale was excellent in helping us think through and implement a strategy for how we could mobilize energy, create excitement, build good will,
and raise a lot of money, in writing a new Torah scroll for our community in a project called Make Your Mark, a Torah Writing Campaign. He is great at seeing the forest, and great at dealing with the trees, in gently guiding a faith community do major development work.”
Rabbi Wes Gardenswartz, Senior Rabbi
Temple Emanuel
Newton, MA
