Mazal Tov-this is such exciting news!!! I am so thrilled for the two of you!. I wish you all a life of happiness! Love, Lisi

Dear Leah and Etan, What can I say. Well, first you guys are engaged and b"h you will be married december....well i'm sure you guys will the date soon. Etan, you are a great guy and I can tell you are doing a good job because eversince you and my sister started dating she has been so incredibly happy. It would be enough to say that the chasson is a great person but b"h I can also say he comes from an amazing family which makes it quite clear from where his great midos come. The minute i found out your two were getting engaged I was extatic but unfortunately I would have to wait two hours for the whole thing to go down and become public knowledge. B"h we live in a nice jewish community so once you guys got engaged the news spread to everyone within about 4 minutes and i didn't have to hold back the great news i had heard. That sunday night was the happiest night i ever had , knowing my little ( i mean shorter, i know you are older) sister got engaged, i can't even express in words the the overwhelming joy i felt. Leah I love you so much , you are an amazing person who cares about everyone before herself and becuase of this quality I can tell you now, bli eyin harah, your marriage will know nothing other than succes. I know these months before the wedding are goign to be crazy but b'h they will go by quick and you will reach the day you and Etan have been waiting for. Leah, you are an amazing sister, a beautiful kallah, and b"h i know you will be the perfect wife. I love you so much. Mazel tov. P.S. Eventhough it seems like i am really lazy you know i will help with anything you need for the wedding, you jsut might have to ask a couple of times.

MAZEL TOV! We are all so excited for your wonderful news. Leah, you have a beautiful neshama and we know your bashert has the same. My boys will be sad they aren't going to get to marry you....oh well....maybe one of your kids hahahaha! Much love from the Gutstein family

Mazel tov Leah & Etan!!! What exciting news!! Wishing you all the best.

leah!!!! i love you and i am so incredibly happy for you! i want to speak with you asap-MAZEL TOV to the both of you!

Mazel tov !! Leah the news was so exciting and, I am so happy for you !! Etan I'm sure you know you are honestly getting the most amazing girl out there. Leah I love you !!May you guys be zoche to build a BnB . May we share in many more simchas togther!

Mazel Tov, and wow! So after Marc brightened my day with a phone call to tell me the good news, I just had to see this for myself. You see Etan, who knows how much time you could've saved getting together had you simply joined the rest of us that day having a blast in the snow back in the MD days! You're conspicuously missing from that picture - we could've had two couples in one! Both of you have tremendous hearts, ahavat haBriot, and an easygoing manner that undoubtedly make you a perfect couple. You have had tremendous positive influence on those around you (including myself), and you should continue to do so throughout your lives. What can I say, we need more Jews like you. And might I add that you plan really well - any tips on how to be good roomates should be directed to the Lennons, who both have experience. Does anyone else see the hashgacha in this? Mazel Tov!

Mazel tov, mazel tov!!! This is such wonderful news!! Leah, I am sooo happy for you! Etan, you are getting the best girl ever! All the best, Sarah :)

Congratulations on the birth of your b'chor. We are all so looking forward to attending the Bris! May he bring you only joy and nachas; we are absolutely certain that you will be terrific parents! Mazel tov also to the gansa Finkle family. It is soooooo nice that you have finally agreed to make the baby "legitimate." Don't let ANYONE tell you different! Best wishes always, the entire Fahdrey family

Mazal Tov Etan! Wishing you and Leah all the best!

Etan, much mazel to you and Leah! Please pass on mazel tov wishes to your parents, I am an old old friend from NY, and thrilled to see this news!

Mazel tov! Etan, I'm so excited to see your name show up here. I'll have to spread this news around Machon Lev. Now you guys are gonna have to come visit Israel sometime! Tizku Livnot Bayit Ne'eman B'Yisrael! ~ Jonny

Mazal tov!! I'm so so happy for you! Yay Leah!
