Sherry and Henry Stein
 Fran!
Your leadership opened the frontier that led to the creation
of HaZamir Partnership chapters across Israel
and established the model that is being replicated
across our Homeland.
 
Your passionate belief in the HaZamir mission,
your creative savvy and generosity have allowed
HaZamir to flourish on both sides of the ocean.
 
The love of Jewish music that you share
with your HaZamir/Zamir Noded daughters
is an expression of your unwavering dedication
to the Jewish People and Jewish Music.
 
Mazal Tov!
Vivian and Mati
To Phyllis and Richard

You have helped reshape the direction of Jewish choral music
through the establishment of the
Jeanne R. Mandell Fund for new music, the commissioning
arm of the Zamir Choral Foundation. The many new compositions
added to the Jewish choral repertoire through your fund
will forever speak to your passion for Jewish life and music.
You turned that passion into the creation of HaZamir Jerusalem.
The third generation in your family to sing with Zamir
is a reflection of the love for Jewish music
that you have instilled in your children and grandchildren. 
Your actions continue to preserve the past
and guarantee the future.

For the hearts to sing and the relationships to flower

And to foster both community and partnership 

As your children, we have seen your dreams transform
From seeds of ideas to small project to true art form 
Thank you for showing us what is means to have vision coupled with heart 
For teaching us to follow our passion from the very start 

We are so proud of you, and love you so much

You ran activities, planned chapter events, bonded singers, lead sectionals and made announcements.

This is your legacy, traditions that will continue onward and grow
and you have all done such a fantastic job.
This year, we celebrated your own individual strengths in order to come together as one united Teen Leadership community. You have all done such a great job, in you chapters and internationally. You are an inspiring, dedicated, hard working, and smart bunch of young adults
and the future leaders of our people.
To Emily and Josh, our fantastic co-chairs. You made such a lovely team and helped shape the direction of our group. You should be very proud of your accomplishments, as we are.
