David, you are
A true גומל חסד

our greater community a better place
for those who are less fortunate.

In honor of our dear friends
David & Susan Mandel
 
David's unique ability to effortlessly blend seemingly
contradictory character traits makes him
the consummate CEO that OHEL depends on day in, day out.
 
David leads with compassion, yet remains disciplined.
Diplomatic, but with uncompromising Emes.
Confident and bold, yet undeniably humble.
 
The results speak for themselves.

DAVID
Your journey at OHEL has been one of greatness, growth, and expansion. 
Personally, I take great pride to have been there with you from the very first moment
when you and Susan decided to join the OHEL Family.
I've also had the privilege of watching, from the front lines and sidelines, as you've led the Board and Staff with great sensitivity
and as you advocated for OHEL Bais Ezra individuals and implemented so many new programs throughout the past many years.
However, it has been most exciting for me to see your personal accomplishments in the growth of OHEL, Bais Ezra, Lifetime Care
and the birth of Camp Kaylie. Moreover, I am thrilled that your greatest successes have always been in fulfilling  your dreams
of enriching and transforming the thousands of lives of the true beneficiaries: The children, adults, and families of OHEL.
SUSAN
I am most grateful to you, too, for all that you've sacrificed and given in sharing David with OHEL.
Your partnership was most likely the greatest catalyst to his unparalleled achievements.
Thank you!
 
On behalf of my entire family, may you both continue to enrich your beautiful family and your wonderful lives
as you continue to lead and inspire our OHEL family to even greater heights.

We are all beneficiaries of your hard work,
dedication and commitment to Torah values
that truly make those around you better people.
 
May Hashem grant both of you great health and
continued ability to be outstanding role models
for our community for many years to come.
 
We cherish our friendship with you and look forward
to sharing many more simchas together.

on Yomim Tovim making them feel that they are part of the family
is remarkable. They always run a Shabbaton in  their Shul every year
which is really very special. There is lots of singing
and many of the guests speak which is really so heartwarming.
 
May they continue to do the Chessed that they do
for many years to come. We love them so very much.
 
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

David and Susan Mandel
on this well-deserved honor.
 
You personify respect, chessed and generosity in a
modest manner, that we can only wish to emulate.
The growth of OHEL's organization over the past 25 years is due, in part,
directly to your commitment, professionalism and devotion.
The countless individuals and families whose lives
have been forever changed due to your special attention
is unprecedented.
Your tireless efforts on behalf of others through
your work at OHEL are an inspiration to us all.
May Hashem grant you both the strength to continue
your wonderful work on behalf of the Klal, and may you continue to see much nachas from Eliana, Dovid & Tzipora and your entire family.

Moshe Wein, ז״ל
A Larger Than Life Leader in the Jewish Camping World
 
A loving husband, father, grandfather, teacher and role model to so many, Moshe Wein,
was a camping legend for over five decades, who was a foundation leader at Camp Kaylie.
 
Since its inception almost 10 years ago, Moshe served as Director of Operations.
His keen understanding and furtherance of Camp Kaylie's mission of inclusion, his vision
for growth both in infrastructure and campers, his leadership and mentorship of staff
at every level were unparalleled, and only superseded by his love
and dedication of every camper of all abilities. 
 
His imprint is left on every part of Camp Kaylie and the Jewish camping world.
He will be sorely missed and never forgotten. 
 
 יהי זכרו ברכך

and Camp Kaylie, as well as the staff and campers offer Nechamos to his mother,
Mrs. Vivian Wein, former OHEL Foster Care Medical Coordinator, his wife Hinde,
Head of Camp Kaylie's Girls Waterfront, and all his children and grandchildren. 
 
 
To our Dear Parents
 
Jack and Florence Ness
 
We feel so honored and blessed to have you as our parents and want to express our gratitude for always supporting and believing in us.

You have always been wonderful role models.

In memory of our very dear friend,
Susan Jacobson
whose presence is sorely missed.
Susan was the epitome of תורה עבודה גמילות חסדים
 
Her love for her family was unparalleled.
Nothing was too difficult for her to accomplish when it came to
David, Danial and Breindy, Ephraim and Adina,
Aryeh and Michelle, the grandchildren, her mother,
Mrs. Mildred Siwek, and her sister Meryl, A"H.
 
Susan left this world much too soon!
She will NEVER be forgotten.

Dear David and Susan,
There may be words to adequately describe what you mean to Gitty and I,
to the community we live in, to the Jewish community at large,
but I don't have them.
You are the most amazing friends, family, neighbors, guide etc... 
You both do things with such grace and elegance. David,
you deal daily with the most difficult of situations, and no one
would ever know. Susan when you have 5 or 50 people in your house
with David, it's as if you prepared just for me and it was no stress
(it is stressful!). You are examples of what Tov and Yashar,
good and honest is. Thank you for choosing me into your circle,
and teaching me about life and caring. Thank you for being that to OHEL,
it's friends and clients. You really have changed the world
and are truly a one of a kind couple.

Love,
Gitty and Ezra

as well as all of the OHEL staff, its board members and volunteers, OHEL has thrived
and grown into the incredible organization it is today.

Mazel Tov to all of tonight's honorees. May Hashem grant you all the strength

Be it acclaim, success, or  even a simple request,
anything regarding OHEL, really means
David Mandel
 
A dedicated, qualified leader who has really put  OHEL on the  map-
the  map of chesed, concern and  expertise.  That  is what David  Mandel and OHEL are about.  A gifted  leader, a visionary, as to leading
a worldwide acclaimed Mossad of tzedakah for the past 25 years. 
One who leads his staff by saying follow me.  But also blessed with
a dedicated highly qualified  staff.  The  services provided
are of  the  highest level. Blessed with a loving Ezer K'negdo
and Boruch  Hashem a beautiful family,  we wish this special couple
to be granted Brochos, Simcha and Siata D'shemaya to make the proper  decisions on behalf of Ohel and  Klal Yisroel,and go M'chayil L'chayil.
 
Best Wishes and continued success

David and Susan
on this well-deserved recognition of all your tireless work.
The Midrash tells us that Hashem saw Moshe would make a great leader
when Moshe cared for the littlest lamb.
David, we have never seen someone care for lamb the way you do.
One can really get to know a couple by being a fly on their wall
and seeing how they act at home. Or by moving into their house
for an entire year. We have seen first-hand your complete dedication
to OHEL and everything that they do. You are never content
on leaving the job to others. Your constant availability
and never ending phone calls showed us your personal involvement
and concern for even the smallest individual.

The way you and Susan always put OHEL before yourselves
has left an incredible impression on us.
 
Thank you for everything.

In honor and appreciation of our CEO
David Mandel
"..how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?"
   
To sir with Love (Lulu)      
In David's 25 year tenure, he has taken OHEL from foster care
to the multi-functional organization it is today.
His vision and leadership has grown OHEL
to be there for children and adults young and old.
The breath of services expanded from Camp Kaylie to the Lifetime Care Foundation,
Trauma to Tikvah, Senior Care to Safe Haven Program
as well as a widely diverse geographical footprint.
 
I think all would agree that David has taken OHEL well beyond
the initial vision and mission to help a larger segment
of the Jewish community at large.
 
Thank you Susan for sharing David with OHEL
and being his partner in all that he does for the Klal.

compassion and true chessed for all of us to emulate.

Mazal Tov on this much deserved honor!
Your home is always open - those who visit
are always greeted with a smile. (and some yummy food )
We are in awe of all your do for OHEL
and the Jewish Community.
Thank you for continuing the legacy of your parents
and for being amazing role models.
Looking forward to many more years of Nussbaum Cedarhurst/OHEL Shabbaton (and much more)

Jennifer, Sandy, Aliza & Ahuva Gruenfeld
How do you express Hakarat HaTov to a professional hero who has been an incredibly courageous innovator;
How does one say Mazel Tov to a leader who governs with as much love as he does with his incredible smarts;
How does one show appreciation to a lifelong mentor who somehow finds time to advise and to truly care even when
running a priceless agency that saves untold thousands of lives? David, There... Is.... Just.... No.... Way
to thank you enough! And OHEL itself... What Jewish organization does what OHEL does? Trauma treatment;
family counseling; marital therapy; one-of-a-kind truly inclusive summer camp experiences; services for the elderly; domestic violence treatment; cutting-edge professional training... the list seems endless...BECAUSE IT IS!
David and Susan, we are so incredibly thrilled for you on this honor. You both represent what our perspective fields
represent and what our community members and leaders strive for. Honesty, integrity, courage to do what is right...
no matter the cost, and always above all else, Elevating Lives! ALWAYS at the front of the line. NEVER leading from
the rear. We are so much the better for having seen the fruits of the efforts first-hand. Seen it in the eyes of
the hurting children who finally found Tikvah and in the words of the helpless families who have found OHEL
when all seemed lost. In the tears of appreciation shed by those you REFUSED to give up on, replacing the tears
of loss, of pain and of sadness with life, and hope and love. To David, to Susan, to the incredible leadership
of the Board, the sage wisdom of Rav Dovid and the hundreds of tireless, heroic workers we have stood
shoulder-to-shoulder with for decades, we wish you all Mazel Tov. More than that though, we wish you
the Zechut of knowing how much you have done for all who have crossed your path.
 
In continued AWE for all you do and all you save and all you are,
Barry, Jenny, Samantha, Megan and Lizzie Horowitz

Dear Friends,
 
OHEL is a place that leaves a lasting impression, indelibly etched in your mind
for its kindness, its inspiration, and its unending work to make the world
a better place.
 
The heavy lifting that OHEL does is known to but a few, but deserves to be screamed
from the top of the world's highest mountain. Its walls resonate with love
and compassion, understanding and commitment. 
 
It is our deep honor to have a role in bringing OHEL's work to the attention of good people
who care, and to work for and alongside people so committed to our people.
People who value values, and enrich the lives of others every day.

David:
Your dedication, devotion, and steadfast commitment to
the work of the Agency, from the most significant, global concerns,
to the needs of each and every one of the thousands of clients,
is both remarkable and humbling.  You are a role model, builder,
mentor (thanks again), and leader par excellence. 
Although comprised of well over 1,200 employees,
the Agency can rightly be called "David's OHEL"
due to your constant Mesiras Nefesh.  Hashem should bless you
that you should be able to continue your work on behalf of OHEL
and its clients for many years in good health.
 
Best wishes, with admiration

In tribute to
Susan and David Mandel
recipients of the Leadership Award
 
A leader, as defined, is one who takes charge and guides others.
David, with Susan always at your side, have gone beyond the role of simple leader.
Your availability, compassion and devotion to those who cannot advocate for 
themselves goes far beyond one who "is in charge".
The myriad programs and projects you have helped to spearhead
have served to enhance the Jewish community,
and especially the lives of those with mental
challenges and their family members.  
In the zechus of all that you do, may Hakodosh Baruch Hu
grant you the wherewithal to continue onward
and be successful in your endeavors. 
May he bless you both with gezunt, nachas and many years in which to enjoy.

Rabbi Bieler who I met for breakfast and decided to enter
the Development world. You didn't know me but were eager to help me,
this is just who you are.
 
I always admired your leadership and dedication to OHEL, at a board meeting,
with clients, with staff, at a Dinner, event etc.  You are a true mentsch

We were introduced to David when OHEL invited him to do
a leadership training seminar more than 25 years ago. David opened
us up to the art of the possible; how far can we reach, how high
can we climb. He spoke of having a dream and bringing it to fruition.
In his first year as CEO he wisely studied OHEL's massive operation
without introducing any changes. And soon, thereafter,
he shepherded us to new heights. David worked closely
with an extraordinary board of directors
and they shared his vision for the future. 
 
How do we encapsulate a quarter of a century of outstanding service?
We pay homage each day through the lives of our countless brothers
and sisters whose lives have been elevated immeasurably.

David, may you always go Michayil El Chayil.
 
Best,
Phyllis Mayer

We can't think of anyone more deserving of tonight's award.
David, your devotion to OHEL, day and night, knows no bounds.
For you, it isn't just a job - it's a calling.
And Susan, you're a true Eishes Chayil- because David  could not do
what he does, without your support.  We've seen firsthand when David
gets a call, while he's "off-duty" - how he drops what he's doing -  to ensure
that the caller's needs are addressed, both calmly and professionally.
We are honored and blessed to be friends with such wonderful people.
May Hashem repay the two of you in full measure for all the
Chessed that you do, both at OHEL and in your community.

would be possible without your partner in all things, Susan.
