Aleta & Ariel, the contributions you have made to the HERJC community are only outshined by the humility and selflessness you display in your support and participation. Melanie & I could not be happier for you to receive the recognition you both so richly deserve. Yasher Koach to you both!

Carrie, congratulations on this incredibly deserved recognition. You came into HERJC with your sleeves rolled up. Willing to take on responsibilities to vest you in our synagogue, you engendered immediate respect from your peers and those in leadership who see you as illustrative of the best aspects of our community - caring, intelligent, and capable of making others feel welcome. We look forward to continuing to see your imprint on all you touch at HERJC and cannot wish you enough thanks for your making our members' experiences positive ones. All our respect,

Audrey & Elliott Polinsky

Congratulations, Aleta and Ariel. While we have lived on the same block for years, it was a decade before we actually connected the dots. We enjoyed getting to know you at HERJC's coffee house this year and appreciate all you have done and continue to contribute to the HERJC community. Mazel Tov on this well deserved honor! Congratulations, Carrie! We started a journey together when our babies met in the 2's and it seems fitting that you are being honored this particular year as those babies graduate high school. While the direction of our lives has changed over time, we seem to always find our way back to each other, knowing that the solid foundation of our friendship is a constant that we can always depend on. You have been dubbed as an "emerging leader" at HERJC, but we have seen you shine many times, learning very quickly that you can beat most people in a test of wits. We are so glad to stand by your side as HERJC recognizes the quiet farm girl from Georgia, sharing in the joy we hope this well-deserved honor brings you. Mazel Tov, Carrie!

What a joy it is to come together tonight to celebrate the people who make HERJC the warm, vibrant community we love. To Aleta and Ariel Grunberg, Mazal Tov on this well-deserved honor! You've been part of the heart and soul of HERJC for decades. Through your leadership, warmth, and commitment, you've helped shape the spirit of our congregation. Your love for Jewish life, your energy on the dance floor, and your deep dedication to strengthening the bond between HERJC and the State of Israel continue to inspire all of us. To Carrie Rolnick, We're so excited to recognize you as our Emerging Leader. In just a short time, you've brought fresh energy and thoughtful leadership to our community. Whether it's helping to welcome new families or stepping up to bring more structure and strategy to our finances, you're already making a lasting difference and we're just getting started. Tonight is a chance to say thank you and dance the night away in true HERJC style. Mazal Tov to our honorees and thank you for everything you do!

To our beloved gala honorees,

Like a well-composed symphony, your lives resonate with purpose, generosity, and heart. You show up - not just in the front row, but behind the scenes, in quiet acts of kindness and bold moments of leadership.

You are the rhythm section of our community - steady, soulful, and always lifting others in song.

May your days continue to be filled with the music of mitzvot,
the harmony of friendship,
and the encore of blessings you so richly deserve.

"Zamru l'Adonai b'chinor - Sing to God with the harp" - and tonight, we sing for you.

With admiration,

Hazzan Bonnie Zakarin
