Mira and Anton

&

Amy and Isio

Thank you for the care and devotion you bring to our Shul each and every day.

From the smallest details to the larger responsibilities, so much of what runs smoothly is a direct result of your collective efforts.

Our Shul is truly blessed to have you as such integral members of the YINR team.

On a personal note, we are especially grateful for all that you do for us and our family. Whether it's making copies, helping with paperwork, or being there in unexpected moments, like a flooded basement or a house alarm going off on Shabbat, we know we can always rely on you.

May Hashem bless each of you with many years of health, happiness, and continued success.

With sincere appreciation,

Rabbi Chaim and Yael Axelrod

Honoree - Rabbi Chaim & Yael Axelrod

Mom

&

Ema and Abba:

Thank you for everything. Your nurturing love and unwavering support have allowed us to grow into the people we are today. We have done our best to build a home grounded in the same values and principles that you modeled for us in your own homes.

You have shown us what it means to care deeply about community and to be actively involved in our Shuls. As our children like to point out, both of their grandfathers served as vice presidents of their respective Shuls, albeit of slightly different sizes of Shuls.

We are especially grateful for the encouragement

you have given us in pursuing our respective career paths, and for the genuine interest and pride you have shown in our involvement at YINR.

May Hashem bless you with many years of good health and continued nachas from the beautiful families you have built.

With love and gratitude,

Chaim and Yael

Axelrod- To their parents

Honoree - Rabbi Chaim & Yael Axelrod

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Mazel Tov on this tremendous and well deserved honor. We are so proud of all that you do for this wonderful community. We are awed at how much effort and devotion both of you put into making YINR the best it can be. We are continuously amazed by the way you exemplify what it truly means to serve as a Rabbi and Rebbetzin. Thank you for being the best role models and for always being there for us no matter how busy you are. Our bracha to you is to continue spreading your light to our family and the whole New Rochelle community.

We love you and are so proud!

Love,

Dovi, Akiva, Aharon, Nava, Esti, and Liba.

Honoree - Rabbi Chaim & Yael Axelrod

Tamar and Jon,

Mazel Tov on receiving our Shul's Community Service Award. We are truly honored to be your co-honorees at this year's dinner, though in our eyes, you are the real Guests of Honor.

We are deeply appreciative for all that you have done for us and for the Shul during our time here in New Rochelle. You both bring such warmth and positive energy to every aspect of communal life. You both have a unique ability to uplift any room you enter, and you are truly the life of the party in the most genuine and meaningful way.

Your dedication to the community and your natural warmth are qualities from which we have learned so much.

May Hashem bless you with many more years of continued involvement in the community and much nachat from Julia, Ben, and Annie.

From,

Rabbi Chaim and Yael Axelrod

Honoree - Rabbi Chaim & Yael Axelrod

Rabbi and Rebbetzin Fink,

We owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude for the warmth and grace you have shown us, even before we began our tenure here in New Rochelle. The community you have helped shape and build is one that we were deeply drawn to, and it has been a privilege to become a part of it.

Our ability to grow and succeed here is due in no small measure to your embrace and your willingness to allow us to partner with you in strengthening and enhancing the beautiful Shul that is YINR. Your advice and guidance have had a profound impact on our lives and on the lives of our children.

We feel especially privileged to be raising our family in a community led by a Rav and Rebbetzin from whom our children can learn and be inspired.

May Hashem bless you with many years of good health and much nachas from your family, both your biological family and your extended Shul family.

With deep appreciation,

Rabbi Chaim and Yael Axelrod

Honoree - Rabbi Chaim & Yael Axelrod

To the YINR Dinner Committee Chairs,

Thank you for the tremendous time, planning, and effort you invested in making this year's dinner such a meaningful success. While we always appreciate the work that goes into the dinner each year, this one is especially significant for us.

We are deeply grateful for the care and attention you showed throughout the honoree process. Thank you for guiding us every step of the way and for handling every detail with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. You made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable for us and our family.

Our Shul is truly blessed to have individuals like you, who generously devote your time and talents for the benefit of the community. May Hashem grant each of you and your families abundant reward for all that you do, and may your dedication continue to inspire others to contribute to the growth and strength of our Shul.

Rabbi Chaim and Yael Axelrod

Honoree - Rabbi Chaim & Yael Axelrod

To

Dovi, Akiva, Aharon, Nava, Esti, and Liba,

We are endlessly grateful to Hashem for the privilege and responsibility of being your parents.

Each of you is unique, with your own beautiful qualities, and we are so proud of the young bnei and bnos Torah you are becoming.

This Shul honor belongs to you as much as it does to us. The Rabbinic role is truly a family endeavor, and we feel incredibly supported by the team we have at home, by each of you, who stand behind us and share in all that we do for the community.

Thank you for your sacrifices and your love. You mean the world to us.

May Hashem bless each of you to continue to grow and develop, and, in the right time, to build families of your own who will bring you the same nachas that you bring to us.

With all our love,

Mommy and Daddy

Mazal Tov to

Rabbi Chaim and Yael Axelrod

From the moment Rabbi Chaim and Yael joined our community, their warmth, smiles, and

beautiful neshamot have lifted all of us.

Even a simple greeting, a moment of song, Torah or prayer, or

just watching them move through the shul leaves you feeling
embraced and sharing in the genuine bitachon they carry - a quiet
reminder to all of us that everything will be okay.

Mazal Tov to

Tamar and Jonathan,

whose dedication and commitment
help make our community such a special place.

With admiration and gratitude,
