View Journal | GNS Virtual Gala

Great Neck Synagogue

From the President:
This year the Great Neck Synagogue is privileged to honor Rabbi and Aksana Jensen at the first ever GNS Virtual Gala. For the last 30 years, Rabbi Jensen has created innovative youth programing including but not limited to Succah Sleepovers, the Purim Shpiel, Ski Trips, Kiddush Cup Club, Torah Madness, Chanukah at MSG and many others. Rabbi Jensen has been to all our GNS family's smachot and at all these events he has led the dancing. One event that I would like to mention took place in January of 94'. A NSHA student was putting on Tefillin for the first time in the GNS main sanctuary. As most proud parents do, they made sure to have their camera set up to record the special day. When Rabbi Jensen saw the camera, he figured that it wasn't recording, and this was an opportunity to put a smile on the students' faces. He went up to the lens and began making crazy faces. When the lens started focusing, he realized that the camera was recording. He succeeded, everyone was laughing at the situation. Fast forward many years and that video belongs to the current President of the GNS.
We will cherish all the amazing memories we have made together, and although we have to say goodbye to our wonderful friends, we are so happy for the Rabbi and Aksana on their journey to Israel.

Rivka and I wish you much success and happiness.

Who can forget those glittering prizes given out at your yearly bashes or not appreciate a whole community being propelled by your exuberant line dancing. Thank you for all that was given to us. We will miss you, Rabbi Jensen and Aksana, always by your side. Wishing you continued blessings for a wonderful new beginning. See you in Eretz Israel!

You taught Great Neck how to dance: took Purim videos to an incomparable level; and convinced so many to face their fears head on, and seize the opportunity- whether it was Gemara,on the basketball court or someone's first roller coaster ride. How lucky medinat Yisrael is to have you (although you would surely say its the other way around). Your fiends wherever life takes us Dan/DanMan/"Myname is____" and Jen Twersky

Mazel Tov to Rabbi Shalom and Aksana Jensen. How do you sum up over 30 years of friendship? We have celebrated countless simchas together and we have watched you grow into a centerpiece of the Great Neck community. While we are sad to see you go, we know how excited you are to make aliya and to show the Purim videos to thousands of Israelis along the way. Thank you for all that you have done for us and for our children who have benefitted from your tireless efforts and unlimited energy. We wish you good health and happiness as you embark on this new phase in your lives. Please remember all of the great times that we shared and stay in touch.
