View Journal | WJC Night at the Riviera

Welcome from the Rabbi

Welcome!

There are a lot of things that make WJC a very special congregation. One thing that initially drew my attention is its truly intergenerational nature. We have leaders and active members from every demographic and at every age. Today's celebration is a great example of that.

This evening's honorees Howard & Judy Zweig, Sharon Weinstock, Jacques Steinberg and Glenna Lee represent an amazing cross section of our WJC community. This slate of honorees represents the congregation's commitment to serving the intergenerational needs of the Jewish community in our area...

What a blessing to serve a congregation with the likes of these excellent people.

Gratefully,
RJA

Welcome from the WJC President

Welcome!

Our Night at the Riviera focuses on bringing together our amazing community, combining the best parts from previous celebrations with new elements to enhance interaction.

We celebrate Judy and Howard Zweig, Sharon Weinstock and Jacques Steinberg and Young Leadership Award recipient Glenna Lee from three different generations of membership. They all showed tenacity and passion to make a difference for WJC's members.

Sincere appreciation to all our honorees for their self-less devotion to our community. I also want to thank Joanna Shlesinger, Lauren Sholder and the entire celebration committee for putting together a fresh new event. Lastly, many thanks to our staff, clergy and all the people who helped behind the scenes. Thanks to all of you all for everything you do for WJC!

Let's meet some new friends and have a blast tonight!

Welcome from Celebration Chairs

Welcome!

When Larry Thaler asked us to chair this year's celebration, he challenged us to change the gala format, make the event more accessible, and, of course, raise money - this is, after all, the biggest fundraiser for WJC. Luckily for us, we were paired with some of the most talented WJC members and staff to accomplish these goals...

We are overjoyed to bring recognition to three sets of honorees who represent the best of WJC: generosity, entrepreneurship, and kindness.

We hope everyone joining us has the opportunity to meet new friends, connect with old friends, and of course, have fun!

WJC 2023 Honoree

We are so thankful to our Westchester Jewish Center family for bestowing

this incredible honor upon us.

The WJC has been a very special spiritual home for us for 30 years. During that time
we celebrated a Wedding, a Brit Milah, a Baby Naming, a Bar Mitzvah and a Bat Mitzvah. We
were also saddened by the shivahs for our four parents and two sisters. The WJC clergy and
membership were there for us throughout those times for which we will be ever grateful.

A giant TODAH and YASHER KOACH to this evening's committee members for their hard work in making this such a JOYful and unforgettable event.

So Honored to honor our fellow Honorees, Sharon, Jacques and Glenna.

May we all go on from strength to strength.

Judy & Howard

WJC 2023 Honoree

On a magical evening for the WJC community, we wish to thank...

Lauren Sholder, Joanna Shlesinger, and all the members of the planning committee,

for your dedication, energy, and bottomless good cheer.

Judy, Howard, and Glenna, for your inspiration -- and for setting the bar so high.
Rabbi Arnowitz, Cantor Goldberg, and Rabbi Dalton, for always being there with spiritual nourishment and engagement, and a ready ear.
Larry Thaler, David Goldstein, Jose Luis Fonseca, and the WJC leadership and team,

for all you do for WJC.

And, finally, we wish to acknowledge...

The many members of our congregation - far too many to list here - whose creativity, expertise, enthusiasm, and precious time serve as fine threads in the rich tapestry of programming that truly makes WJC...WJC!

With gratitude,

Sharon & Jack
