Special Recognition To Mr.  &  Mrs.  Henry  Shapiro    ●    Mrs.  Libby  Mendlowitz

Rabbi  Yisroel  &  Amy  Gottlieb,  Guests  of  Honor    Rabbi  Yisroel  Gottlieb  is  an  alumnus  of  Yeshivat  Shaalvim  and  a  graduate  of  Yeshiva  College.    He  studied  at  Yeshivas  Ohr  Reuven  in  Monsey,  New  York  where  he  obtained  his  smicha  from  Rav  Bezalel  Rudinsky.    He  attended  Law  School  at  the  Benjamin  N.  Cardozo  School  of  Law.    Rabbi  Gottlieb  is  the  Rav  of  Congregation  Bais  Torah  in  Suffern  NY  and  is  also  a  Rebbe  in  Yeshivas  Ohr  Reuven  and  the  General  Studies  Principal  at  Yeshiva  Darchei  Noam,  both  in  Suffern  NY.    Amy  is  a  graduate  of  

SUNY  New  Paltz  and  holds  a  Masters  degree  in  education  from  City  College.    She  has  taught  sixth  grade  girls  for  twenty  years.    They  live  in  Suffern  and  are  the  proud  parents  of  six  beautiful  children.

Michael  Kronenberg,  Presidential  Award    Michael  was  raised  in  Long  Beach,  Long  Island,  by  his  parents  Rabbi  Mordechai  and  Pearl  Kronenberg.    Michael  began  his  academic  career  in  1954,  as  one  of  the  first  six  students  of  the  Hebrew  Academy  of  Long  Beach  (HALB)  and  then  attended  HILI    High  School  in  Far  Rockaway.    He  received  his  BA  degree  from  Yeshiva  University  in  1972,  and  his  MBA  in  Finance  from  the  NYU  Graduate  School  of  Business  in  1974.    Michael  attributes  his  dedication  to  Jewish  communal  life  to  the  influence  and  example  of  his  

parents  and  in-laws  who  distinguished  themselves  in  their  devotion  and  selflessness  to  Jewish  life. Married  to  Sharon  in  1972,  they  moved  to  the  Monsey-Suffern  community  in  1980,  and  almost  immediately  became  vibrant  and  active  members  of  the  Bais  Torah  family.  Michael  has  just  completed  his  3rd  tenure  as  President  and  has  also  served  as  Vice  President  and  Treasurer  in  other  administrations. Michael  has  spent  most  of  his  business  career  in  the  watch  industry  as  COO  of  Fada  Industries  (now  Geneva  Watch  Group)  and  currently  as  Managing  Director  /  EVP  of  Haskell  Timepieces  in  NYC. Sharon  and  Michael  feel  blessed  and  are  extremely  proud  of  their  children  and  their  spouses  and  derive  great  pleasure  and  nachas  from  watching  them  raise  their  own  families,  both  here  and  in  Israel.

Sandy  Lieder,  Aishes  Chayil  Award    Sandy  was  born  and  raised  in  Washington  Heights  where  she  attended  Breuer’s  yeshiva    through    seminary.    She  married  Jossi  in  1975  and  moved  to  Monsey  completing  a  bachelor’s  degree  from  Hunter  College.  She  furthered  her  education  at  St.  Thomas  Aquinas  with  an  accounting  degree  in  1978  and  received  her  CPA  certification  in  1987.  

Sandy’s  devotion  to  working  for  the  Klall  was  lovingly  spearheaded  and  modeled  by  her  beloved  parents  Harry  and  Marguerite  Levi  z”l  more  fondly  known  as  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Yeshiva.    Their  dedication  to  the  Breuer’s  community  was  shared  by  the  participation  of  the  entire  family.     In  1977  when  Jossi,  Sandy  and  Rephoel  moved  to  the  Monsey  community,  Sandy  stepped  right  up  again  to  volunteer  her  services  to  the  Bais  Torah  Sisterhood.    She  currently  heads  the  shiva  meals  program  and  bikkur  cholim  committees  while  participating  in  many  behind  the  scenes  projects.   Sandy  worked  as  a  C.P.A.  for  18  years  and  now  works  beside  Jossi  in  his  optometry  practice.  Her  greatest  joy  is  being  a  hands  on  savta  to  her  grandchildren  in  Monsey,  Queens,  Lakewood  and  Baltimore.

Rabbi  Shlomo  Horowitz,  Gabbai  of  the  Year  Award    Rabbi  Shlomo  Horowitz  is  a  musmach  of  REITS  and  holds  advanced  degrees  in  education  and  engineering.    For  the  past  dozen  years  he  has  taught  special  education  for  the  high  school  division  of  The  Sinai  Schools  in New  Jersey.    Prior  to  his  career  in  education,  Rabbi  Horowitz  served  as  the  Rav  of  congregations  in  Kingston,  Ontario,  Allentown,  Pennsylvania  and  Manhattan  Beach  in Brooklyn,  for  a  total  of  twenty  five  years.    Rabbi  Shlomo  and  his aishes  chayil Shifra  have  five  children  and  

eleven  grandchildren.

It   is  my   pleasure   to  welcome   you   to   Congrega on   Bais   Torah's   38th   annual   dinner,   and   to   thank   you   for   joining   us   on   this  momentous  occasion.

In  a  concurring  opinion  to  a  1964  Supreme  Court  ruling,  Jus ce  Po er  Stewart  entered  a  new  phrase  into  the  American  cultural  lexicon.  His   “I  know   it  when   I   see   it”   standard  became  the  paradigm   for  all   areas  of   life  where  quan fica on   is  beyond  the  boundary  of  1,000  words,  but  where  the  idea  can  s ll  be  captured  in  the  picture  that  is  worth  so  much  more.

Jus ce  Stewart's    elegant  phrase   is,  perhaps,   the  perfect  expression  of   the  exhorta on  to  holiness   that  opens  the  second  of  yesterday's  two  parshiyos.  Holiness  is  intangible,  it  is  largely  undefinable  and  certainly  not  quan fiable,  yet  it  is  there  for  us  to  find,  and  we  somehow  “know  it  when  we  see  it.”

The  central  hub  of  holiness  and  sanc ty  in  our  lives  is  the  sanctuary,  our  shul,  which  raises  and  li s  us  from  the  mundane  to  the  exalted.   It   is   there   that   we   commune   with   G-d;   it   is   there   that   we   connect   with   one   another,   and   it   is   there   where   the  quintessence  of  holiness  is  on  display  for  us  to  see,  to  recognize  and  to  emulate.

That  holiness  is  manifest  in  the  individuals  who  answer  the  call  to  serve  G-d  and  His  people  in  their  house  of  me ng.  

Tonight,  my  wife  and  I  have  the  privilege  of  standing  alongside,  and  being  humbled  in  the  presence  of  a  group  of  individuals  who  have  dis nguished  themselves  in  their  service  to  not  just  our  shul,  but  to  the  Jewish  people  at  large.

Our   immediate   past   president,   Michael   Kronenberg,   and   his   wife   Sharon   are   both   scions   of   families   whose   legacies   are  centered  around    their  dissemina on  of  Torah  and  support  and  succor    of  the  Jewish  people.  Michael  and  Sharon  have  traveled  their   lives   along   the   path   set   by   their   fore-bearers   and   have   become   standard-bearers   in   our   shul   for  Torah,   chessed,  and  service.  Michael's  return  to  the  presidency  of  the  shul,  with  its  a endant  pressures  and  tribula ons,  was  born  of  that  deeply  rooted  sense  of  responsibility  to  use  one's  talents  and  abili es  in  the  service  of  a  higher  calling.  Michael  led  the  shul  in  his  term  with  great  for tude,  vision,  caring,  concern  and  with  a  deep  apprecia on  for  the  greatness  of  Bais  Torah.  It   is  our  hope  and  prayer  that  Michael  and  Sharon's  model  will  serve  to  inspire  all  of  us  and  will  bring  their  children  and  grandchildren  to  carry  on  their  outstanding  family  legacy  for  genera ons  to  come.

Our  outgoing  “Gabbai  of  the  Year”,  Rabbi  Shlomo  Horowitz,  and  his  wife  Shifra  have  spent  their  lives  in  Jewish  public  service.  As  a  Rav,  an  educator,  and  a   leader,  Rabbi  Horowitz  has  molded  communi es  and  genera ons   in  the  ways  and  paths  of  the  Torah,   and   has   brought  meaning   into   their   Judaism   with   his   depth   and   insight.   In   the   shul,   we   have   been   the   consistent  beneficiaries  of  Rabbi  Horowitz's  broad  array  of  talents  as  a  baal  koreh,  baal  tefilah,  speaker  and  repository  of  wisdom.  In  his  three-year  tenure  in  the  “gabbinate”  Rabbi  Horowitz  has  de ly  applied  his  talents  and  his  capabili es  to  bear  on  the  davening,  leining  and  all  aspects  of  the  service.  His  a en on  to  every  detail,  combined  with  his  sensi vity  to  every   individual  and  that  individual's  needs  have  elevated  the  office  of  gabbai  to  even  greater  heights  and  will  serve  as  the  standard  by  which   future  gabbaim  will  be  measured.

One  of  the  ironies  of  the  very  public  conferring  of  awards  on  those  who  epitomize  Jewish  values,  is  that  one  of  the  core  values  of  Judaism  is  modesty.  We  try  to  ins ll  in  our  children  and  ourselves  the  merit  of  keeping  our  greatest  achievements  out  of  the  spotlight.  Yet,  if  those  accomplishments  are  never  allowed  to  see  the  light  of  day,  how  are  those  around  us  to  learn  the  proper  path  to  follow.  The  paradigm  of  this  conflict  is  the  Jewish  woman,  the  Woman  of  Valor,  who  balances  the  values  of  modesty,  kol  k'vudah  bas  melech  pnimah,  along  with  the  awesome  responsibility  of   raising  and  guiding  the  next  genera on  along  the  path  to  greatness.

Tonight's  Eishes  Chayil  awardee,  Mrs.  Sandy  Lieder,  along  with  her  husband  Yossi,  is  the  prototype  of  that  balance.  Sandy  has  served   the   shul   in   a  mul tude  of   capaci es   throughout   the  years.   She   is   a   stalwart   a endee  of  all   the   shiurum  and   special  programs  and  a  bedrock   for  much  of  the  chessed   that   is  the  hallmark  of  our  shul.  She  and  her  family  have  done  so  without  calling  a en on  to  themselves  or  their  ac ons,  but  instead  have  embraced  the  values  of  humility  and  quiet  modesty  that  we  hold  so  dear.  It  is  our  hope  that  their  reluctant  agreement  to  allow  us  to  shine  the  spotlight  on  the  quiet  greatness  of  the  Lieder  family  shall  serve  to  inspire  us  all  to  follow  their  lead.

Yet  another  aspect  that  makes  Bais  Torah  so  unique  and  so  special   is  how  it   is  one  of  the  few  places  le  in  the  Jewish  world  where   the   coming   genera on  of   Jewish   children   can   and  do   come   together  under   one   roof  with   the  older   genera on  who  carved  the  path  for  us  all.  The  next  two  acknowledgments  this  evening  honor  and  pay  tribute  to  that  quality.

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Shapiro  are  far  more  than  just  beloved  members  of  our  shul;  they  are  living  legends,  legacies  of  a  world  that  was,  but  is  no  more.  Mr.  Shapiro,  in  his  youth,  studied  in  Yeshivas  Chachmei  Lublin  under  the  tutelage  of  the  venerated  Rosh  HaYeshiva  Rav  Meir  Shapiro  zt”l,  known  as  the  father  of  the  daf  yomi.  There,  Mr.  Shapiro  excelled  and  flourished,  un l  the  darkness  that  engulfed  Europe  forced  him  and  his  fellows  to  flee  eastward.  As  one  of  the  last  remaining  talmidim  of  Lublin,  Mr.  Shapiro  was  prominently  profiled   in   Jewish  publica ons  around   last  year's  siyum  haShas.   It   is  fi ng  and  proper   that  we  recognize  and  honor  this  venerable  couple.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Shapiro,  with  the  Kesser  Shem  Tov  award.

Lastly,   for   genera ons   to  prosper  and   grow,   for   Jewish   educa on   to   con nue  and   thrive,   and   for   shuls   to   remain   vital   and  vibrant  centers  of  Jewish  con nuity,  individuals  o en  must  reach  into  themselves  and  find  the  greatness  and  for tude  to  bring  all  of  the  disparate  elements  together.  We,  as  a  shul,  do  not  exist  in  a  vacuum,  nor  do  we  wish  to.  Rather,  we  func on  as  part  and  parcel  of  a  broader  Jewish  community  who  all  work  in  tandem  for  the  be erment  of  the  Jewish  people.  For  far  too  long,  our   broader   community   has   lacked   the   programming   necessary   to   serve   the   children   of   the   surrounding   area.   Mrs.   Libby  Mendlowitz,   who,   alongside   her   husband   Eli,   is   a  mother   to   some   of   those   children,   took   it   upon   herself   to   organize   and  arrange  a ernoon  pirchei  and  b'nos  groups  for  the  boys  and  girls  in  our  community.  Now,  each  Shabbos  a ernoon,  our  shul  is  once  again  a  hub  of  excitement  and  learning  as  dozens  of  children  come  to  take  part  in  these  groups.  Tonight,  we  pay  tribute  to  Mrs.  Libby  Mendlowitz  for  her  service  to  the  community,  and  we  thank  her  for  partnering  with  us  in  this  endeavor.

Tonight,  we   recognize   the   quiet   greatness   that   has   been   that   standard   that   has   carried   the   Jewish   people   throughout   the  centuries.  May  we  all  live  up  to  the  example  set  by  these  very  special  individuals.

Message  from  the  President

This  year’s  dinner  arrives  on  the  coa ails  of  the  fes val  of  Passover  as  we  recharge  ourselves  with  the  determina on  to  reinforce  the  walls  of  our  beloved  Beit  Knesset.  Our  task  is  to  keep  the  walls  of  our  Shul  firm,  durable  and  to  convert  our  halls  into  halls  of  enlightenment,  warmth  and  protec on  in  these  turbulent   mes.

On  this  special  evening  we  are  grateful  to  those  honorees  that  provide  the  leadership  and  inspira on  that  makes  our  Beit  Knesset  unique.

We  have  selected  an  extraordinary  couple,  Rabbi  Go lieb  and  Amy,  as  guests  of  honor.  For  almost    ten  years  they  have  inspired  us  as  a  kehilla  to  safeguard  the  values  of  Torah,  and  Gemillas  Chesed.    The  model  that  the  Rabbi  and  Amy  provide  us  on  a  daily  basis  is  an  impressive  example  of  a  legacy  that  builds    Jewish  essence  and  con nuity.  Watch  the  Rabbi  and  Amy  closely,  see  how  they  treat  each  and  every  person  with  respect  and  dignity.  Witness  the  love  and  shalom  bayis    they  display  towards  their  family  and  the  remarkable  way  they  are  raising  their  children.  I  have  been  fortunate  to  consider  Rabbi  Go lieb  as  my  Rav  and  friend.

The  Torah  informs  us  that  Avrohom  was  chosen  to  lead  because  of  his  ability  to  inspire  and  mo vate.  Michael  Kronenberg,  the  recipient  of  the  Presiden al  award  has  been  the  catalyst  in  direc ng  us  in  all  facets  of  Shul  ac vi es.  Michael’s  remarkable  orchestra on  of  the  myriad  of  Shul  programs  defies  descrip on.    Despite  all  the  pressures  of  being  Shul  president,  he  has  always  maintained  a  keen  insight,  composure  and  sense  of  priori es.  Michael  and  his  aishes  chayil  Sharon  embody  all  that  is  great  in  Bais  Torah.  On  a  personal  note,  I  wish  to  thank  him  for  his  con nued  efforts  on  behalf  of  Bais  Torah,  and  for  being  my  mentor.  

Rabbi  Shlomo  Horowitz  ,  Gabbai  of  the  Year,  personifies  the  type  of  sensi vity  and  dedica on  necessary  to  be  a  successful  gabbai.  His  a en on  to  detail,  and  me culousness  in  dealing  with  the  interpersonal  needs  of  our  members  has  been  exemplary.

Sandy  Lieder,  the  aishes  chayil  awadree,  is  the  quintessence  of  sincere  devo on,  humility    and  compassion.  She  together  with  her  husband  Yussie,  always  give  to  the  Shul  and  do  so  quietly,  preferring  to  draw  a en on  to  the  beauty  of  Bais  Torah  rather  than  to  themselves.  They,  too,  are  shining  examples  of  the  sanc ty  that  is  our  shared  goal  in  life.

Our  Kesser  Shem  Tov  award  is  bestowed  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Shapiro.  They  are  the  quiet  heroes  of  our  Shul.  They  represent  all  that  is  truly  great  about  our  Kehilla.  Tonight  we  gather  to  pay  homage  to  them  and  rededicate  ourselves  to  follow  their  example.

We  salute  Mrs.  Libby  Mendlowitz    on  her  ini a ve  in  star ng  the  Bnos  and  Pirchei  programs.

Watching  our  Shul  be  vibrant  with  young  children  from  the  neighborhood  has  been  a  source  of  nachas  to  all  of  us.

This  past  year  has  been  a  remarkable  year,  challenging  yet  fulfilling.  Working  with  the  Rabbi  side  by  side  in  developing  new  programs,  ideas  and  ways  of  reaching  the  community  at  large  has  been  a  labor  of  love.  It  is  you,  the  members  of  our  great  Shul,  who  inspire  me  each  and  every  day  with  your  selflessness,  random  acts  of  kindness  and  friendship.

Finally,  I  want  to  pay  tribute  to  my  beau ful  wife,  Jackie,  who  is  at  my  side  each  and  everyday.  Her  encouragement  and  willingness  to  act  as  my  sounding  board  has  helped  me  orchestrate  all  the  responsibili es  as  president.  Whatever  merit  one  has  for  doing  Tzarchei  Tzibur,  I  share  with  you.

May  we  all  be  blessed  with  good  health,  parnasa  and  nachas  from  our  families  and  ourselves.  May  our  Shul  con nue  to  be  a  shining  light  to  our  Monsey  community  and  to  Klall  Yisrael.

In recognition of all the Honorees, and the immeasurable contributions they have made, and continue to make on behalf of Congregation Bais Torah. In years past, those honored at the Shul’s Dinner, were unquestionably most deserving of this accolade. This year, however, each of the Honorees merit a page of their own, which even in the final analysis, would seem inadequate.

Rabbi Yisroel Gottlieb & Amy - Bais Torah has been blessed to have as its Rabbi, A Talmud Chochum who can relate to the Kehilah in a multitude of inclusive and nonjudgmental ways. As the Rabbi noted in his Shabbos Hagodal Drasha, with clarity of thought and brevity of wit, the key to understanding the section of the Four sons in the Haggadah is to understand that if you want to influence any individual, one has to speak the language of that individual. The respect and admiration that we all have for Rabbi Gottlieb, is not only because of his “lamdus,” his “medos”, his Weltanschauung,” but most important of all his unconditional love for all Jews, and his ability to relate to each individual In their own “language.” Amy, an accomplished individual in her own right, is the glue that holds all the fabric together. The Rabbi, undoubtedly, could not accomplish all that he does without her constant support, input and sagacious advice. These are ,not pro-forma attributes as juggling six children, maintaining a household, teaching, and being the Rabbi’s partner and sounding board is indeed a daunting task.

Michael Kronenberg - Represents the consummate Shul Member. His devotion to Bais Torah cannot be measured by the usual yardsticks, precisely because there are no metrics, currently available, by which his attributes can be measured. Whether in his leadership capacity as President, Shul member or Consigliore, Michael’s unique persona of giving 100% of himself , and arriving at fair and equitable solutions to seemingly insoluable problems speaks volumes to the individual we honor tonight.

Sandy Lieder - While we do not believe in Ghosts, there appears to be , in the Bais Torah Community, an apparition behind the scenes, never seen, but immensely effective. There could not be a more apt description that epitomizes Sandy Lieder. The majority of Bais Torah is unaware of the "Ghost-Like" deeds of chesed , and kindness that Sandy performs virtually on a daily basis. Clearly, “midos” that needs much emulation. Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz - The man with the most difficult, and Thankless job in Bais Torah- The Gabbi . Navigating the vicissitudes of dealing with human frailty, and ease of offense, Rabbi Horowitz approaches everyone with a smile, and genuine good nature. I have yet to hear of wanton complaints by any member of Bais Torah that they were slighted by not getting an Aliyah, and more importantly by not getting the “appropriate” Aliyah. Rabbi Horowitz’s job description requires the patience of a Saint and the sleight of hand that would make Houdini proud. On all fronts, he has been an immense success and done so selflessly, and without deprecating anyone. We are grateful that Mr. Henry Shapiro brings to Bais Torah the dignity and spirit of the Yeshivah of Chochmei Lublin, that Mrs. Anne Shapiro brings to us her singular beauty and elegance

We thank Libby Mendlowitz for enhancing the children’s Shabbos schedule at Bais Torah

Message from Rabbi Berel Wein

Bais Torah is indeed fortunate to have Rabbi and Rebitzen Gottlieb as its Rav and Rebitzen. Their efforts and devotion on behalf of the congregation and its families has been of inestimable value in strengthening the congregation and its holy community influence. The Gottliebs represent the highest ideals of rabbinic leadership with extraordinary scholarship in Torah, talent and communication skills, friendship to others and compassion to all. May the congregation and the Gottlieb family continue to go from strength to strength with good health, nachat and great accomplishments. . I also wish to bless my friends Michael and Sharon Kronenberg and express my appreciation to them for their tireless work over the past decades on behalf of Bais Torah.

Honoring Our Good Friend and Presidential Awardee

Michael Kronenberg

and the Praiseworthy Congregation of Bais Torah

It is a great pleasure and honor to have the opportunity to say a few words about an outstanding person.

Many times in our professional lives our paths cross special people and we are lucky to call them friends as well as colleagues or business partners.

We first started to do business with Michael two decades ago at Fada Industries where we were soon to learn

that Michael was a tough but fair negotiator.

Over the years we became friends and I always felt he was someone I could reach out to for guidance and advice on personal as well as business matters. He was particularly supportive during a health crisis which my

family endured.

As with most good relationships, ours is built on mutual respect and trust. When Michael calls to ask a business favor which may be out of the ordinary, I always know that I can feel 100% secure in what he is telling

me. He has never let me down. I have seen how he treats his staff and coworkers and I can see why he commands so much respect and support.

A business dinner with Michael is like two friends catching up with genuine interest in their families, careers

and well-being. In the competitive, cut throat environment in which we live there are few people that rise above the rest that somehow combine business results with integrity and friendship.

How fortunate am I that my path crossed with that of Michael Kronenberg.

Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your special evening.

The grandchildren speak for themselves and tell what they know about What Savta Does For Others And For Us

Savta  “polishes  the  silver  for  the  shul,”  “cleans  the  ארון  קדש,”  “the  מנורה and  the  ‘bars’”

She  “drives  the  ladies’”  and  “parks  her  car  in  the  garage,”  (after  coming  home  from  a  ביקור  חולים run)

“She  is  a  good  cook”  and  “makes  suppers  for  a  small  ישיבה”  and  others

“Call  Sa-ta” (* Savta makes tons of phone calls to arrange meals for שבעה homes and when someone has a baby).

“Sa-ta - house”  (where  she always has a lot of guests)

“She  makes  a  lot  of  שבע  ברכות”  and  “parties  in  her  house  for  so  many  people”

“She  comes  to  help  us  when  we  have  a  baby,”  and  is  always  looking  to  find  ways  to  help  others

Savta  “buys  me  presents”

“lets  us  take  what  we  want  without  asking”

And  “brings  us  big  huge  packages  of  colored  paper” (all examples of her generosity and giving nature which she shares with her family, friends, and צדקה)

“She  makes  a  birthday cake for me every year”

“goes  out  to  buy  שבת party when we come for שבת”  

And is always looking out to make sure that each person is happy

“She  always  says  hello to people”  

And brings smiles to so many faces.

“Da-ba-da”  (*  Savta  does so much for everyone else)

“I  don’t  know”  where  to  begin  to  describe  all  that  Savta  does……”

And for those who are too small to answer the question: What does Savta do for others? We  can  sum  it  all  up  with  “a  lot  of  stuff”

WE ASPIRE TO BE LIKE YOU!

We love you Savta! Love, All your Lieder Grandchildren

It has been more than a privilege for us and our family to partner with  you  in  many  of  your  unceasing  initiatives  of  chessed  and  ma’asim  tovim  and  to  be  part  of  your  mutual admiration society. To my dear friend Reb Shlomo who, with great humility, has given of his many extraordinary talents, skills and experience to navigate and steer our shul as Gabbai extraordinaire, always with great dignity and poise. To my special Consigliore, Dr. H. Leon Pachter (Reb Hirsch Leib), who shuns the spotlight but has never refused an accommodation. Thank you for always being there for us, for our family and for our entire Kehilla . May Hashem shower you, Rena and your entire family with Shefa Brachos and much Nachas.

Mazel Tov To All of This Evening’s Honorees

To our dear Rabbi and Amy, our lives have been so enriched these last ten years. Your brilliant Torah insights coupled with your sense of humor and warmth have made

it a joy and pleasure to daven in Bais Torah. We have such nachas observing your beautiful family as they grow and mature. As an added benefit, we have the privilege

and pleasure of having you as our neighbors and good friends.

Michael, we don’t know how you manage it, but you have spent so much time and energy keeping our shul going and enriching our lives because of it. We cherish our

friendship with you and Sharon and love being your neighbors directly across Carlton Road (although neither of us live on that street).

Sandy, you and Jossi have spiritually uplifted all of us at Bais Torah. Your chessed

activities are legend. We are proud to be your “business partners” in two Shul activities which you manage to turn into a fun time – matzo baking and bookkeeping. May

Hashem grant you many years to continue your important work.

Rabbi Horowitz, thank you for being a wonderful gabbai and enhancing our Shabbosim and Yom Tovim in the Shul. It is a very hard job but you perform it with

much tact and dignity.

Mr. and Mrs. Shapiro, you truly inspire us.

May we all spend many more years together as a Bais Torah family.

SANDY

An Eishes Chayil in so many ways

No one deserves this more than you.

Teddy and Debby and Family

The success of any institution depends on strong leadership, the hallmark of our מורה דאתרא, Rabbi Yisroel Gottlieb. An excellent speaker, his speeches are most meaningful, full of content, application, with a sprinkling of humor. A marvelous teacher, we, his members, have the wonderful opportunity to expand our knowledge and depth of learning. Above all else, he is tuned in to the needs of his congregants.

The marriage of Rabbi Yisroel and Amy was “a match made in heaven”. Amy and our Rabbi are a perfect team. Both are warm and compassionate, charming, and the proud parents of beautiful children.

“Once you have found him, never let him go”. These words aptly describe the relationship of Bais Torah to Michael Kronenberg, our outgoing president. As the CEO of our shul, Michael once again exhibited his ability as a leader. In his quiet and efficient manner, he set is goals and accomplished them. Kudos to our dear friend Michael.

Sandy Lieder, is a petite dynamo of talent and skills, with excess energy and devotion to our community. Sandy volunteers for any job that needs to be done, be it to help an individual in need, or any other chesed. She is an inspiration to all of us.

A most difficult job is being a gabbai of a shul. Indeed, Bais Torah was fortunate to be able to convince Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz to take on this responsibility, one that he handled professionally, and with sensitivity. Thank you RebShlomo for a job well done.

Chaim Shapiro (Rabbi) enhances our shul by his very presence. He walks to shul early to begin his day by learning before davening, Atalmid of the Yeshiva of Voloshin, he miraculously escaped the clutches of Hitler with his miraculous trip through Russia and Siberia to join other refugees in Shanghai. May Hashem grant him and his wife many more years of good health.

As longtime devoted members of the Bais Torah family, we regret that we were unable to join and celebrate with you this evening.

In Honor Of

RABBI YISROEL AND AMY GOTTLIEB

Your Divrei Torah and classes are an inspiration to all. May Hashem continue to bestow all His manifold blessings on you and your family.

Mazel Tov to all the Honorees for their devotion and service to our Bais Torah Community.

Doris Newman (

Do good people make a wonderful synagogue an even better place or does a wonderful synagogue make good people even better? Or is it Michael Rossman’s weekly kiddush? Whatever the IT is, Bais Torah is a welcoming community filled with kindnesses, quiet chesed, dedication to Torah, to scholarship and D’vaikus. Each honoree contributes generously to the harmony of the whole and we thank you all for making the synagogue and the community one which draws us back time after time. We must say a special thank you to Michael Kronenberg for his many years of friendship and life cycle events enhanced or made easier for having been shared. Rabbi and Mrs Gottlieb, your leadership and community participation, your humor and gentle manner is always pitch perfect and always appreciated and admired. !
