As you all know, my Abba is all about communication and social interaction. You have no idea how much your advanced calls, good wishes and love have meant to him. In his own words, "I think I love people even more than I love ideas." What would mean the most to him right now is more of the same.

It is an absolute certainty that gifts would be a burden. If you really really really can't hold back and you feel as though you'd like to mark this moment with giving, there are two organizations that hold a particularly close place to my Abba's heart (pun intended) that you could give to and that would certainly appreciate your gesture. The first is The Spiritual Eldering Institute. This is an organization that my Abba cares very deeply for and it can use all the help it can get. The second is the division of The Jewish Community Foundation (a part of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation). Here you can share his interest in supporting innitiatives that provide joint programs for Arabs and Jews. Other than that, you should check out the How to get a message to Abba section of the site.
