on receiving this much deserved honor.
Ashreinu mah tov chelkeynu!!!
How fortunate we and our kehilah are to be led by Rav Chaim & Lea! Their genuine care, concern and investment in each and every member of our kehilah is extraordinary and unparalleled. 25 years ago, Rav Chaim established a vision for building a community based on
daily growth in avodas Hashem. It has been the zechus of a lifetime to watch Rav Chaim & Lea lead our community with clear focus, emunah and bitachon so that vision could,
with siyata d'shmaya, become a reality.
There is simply no earthly way to measure the impact Rav Chaim and Lea have had not just on the community of CIS, but the individual people of CIS. Rav Chaim's drashas on Shabbos and yom tov are certainly legendary and have inspired so many people time and time again. However, the chein with which Rav Chaim and Lea both carry themselves every day, in every interaction, has left the most indelible mark on all of us.
Thank you for all the Torah you've taught us. Thank you for all the hadrachah you've given us. Thank for all the time and energy you've sacrificed for us and invested in us

The renown scholar, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks ZT"L, in his essay on parshat Vayakhel, asserts that "Judaism is a religion of community". Jewish communal activities frame most aspects of Jewish existence; prayer, education emotional and spiritual support and even financial assistance.
For fifty years, Congregation Israel of Springfield
has been blessed with exceptional rabbinical and lay leaders, bold visionaries, who sought to launch and sustain an enduring, vibrant orthodox community in Springfield, NJ.
Moreover, when Rabbi Chaim and Lea Marcus arrived in town, they crystallized the hashkafa of our congregation and provided us with the tools
to become a national beacon of Torah learning and observance.
We celebrate all our Honorees for their inspiring leadership and
encourage their continued commitment to enhance Jewish life in Springfield for future generations.

guidance and learning from others.
Rabbi and Rebbitzen Marcus,
you have been a source of knowledge, support, and inspiration in our lives. You have helped us grow spiritually and deepen our understanding of Torah. Your guidance have helped us navigate challenges, gain new perspectives, and strive to become a better version of ourselves.

Congratulations as well to Congregation Israel of Springfield and
Rabbi Chaim & Lea Marcus
Not only on this milestone Gala Tribute Dinner but also on showing such wisdom in recognizing the Bielory's as chairmen of this event and recipients of the Keter Shem Tov Award. Yes, we know it was given to Len, but what man achieves greatness without a woman like Marilyn by his side! Pillars and mainstays of Yiddishkeit in Springfield, Bradley Beach, and beyond, the Bielory's have been friends, sources of strength in hard times, and wellsprings of wisdom and guidance when needed, not only to us, but also to our children (fellow CIS members), Dr. Jonathan and Chaviva Rosenbluth; their amazing children, Miriam and Natan Alper, Judith and Zechariah Hahn, and Naomi and Gabe; and precious grandson, Ethan Israel Alper.
Len and Marilyn,
thank you for all you do and may you, your family, all your loved ones, and
Klal Yisrael be blessed with health, happiness, success, and peace (with security).
