Jackie Blanken, Stewart and Shelley Remer and Toby Holtzman
You have made meaningful contributions to our community for many years. It is because of you that Har Shalom is a wonderful place to be Jewish!

Our Gala is a culmination of hard work and dedication by our Gala Host Committee members, subcommittee co-chairs and volunteers. Our lay leaders, clergy and professional staff have curated the vision to celebrate our well-deserved honorees and our Har Shalom community.

A special thank you to my co-chair Ryan Munitz. I am so thankful for the opportunity to work alongside you. Ryan's inspiring leadership, dedication, and collaboration have been invaluable to the Gala's success. I look forward to years of friendship and watching her become part of Har Shalom's future.

Stewart and Shelley:

Karen and I are very sorry we can't be here for this wonderful event.

Your dedication to Judaism, Har Shalom, Charity, and
Humanitarianism is a paradigm for all of us.

Stewart, our 60-year friendship has always meant a lot to me, but
never so rewarding as the last 18 years we have spent together as
co-producers for the Har Shalom Players.

Our guests tonight should know that the Har Shalom Players could
not have existed without you. Another lasting legacy.

Stewart and Shelley-enjoy your well-deserved recognition for so
many jobs so well done.

They say it takes a village-and what a village we have.

We are so grateful to the members of the Gala and Host Committees
who have spent countless hours planning, brainstorming,
decorating, menu planning, fundraising, publicizing...the list
goes on!

Above all else, we thank you for your dedication to making the
Gala such a wonderful and memorable evening for our community.

A special thank you to our subcommittee co-chairs: Alycia Bar-Av,
Jeff Ashin, Ellen Balfour, Alex Band, Mara and Larry Bier, Eileen
Feldman, Melanie Olds, and Wendy Rosenblatt.

We couldn't have done it without your leadership and
incredible contributions.

Mikki Ashin and Ryan Munitz

This evening would not have been possible without the hard work of the Har Shalom clergy, staff, and lay leaders. From our initial concept meetings to helping to execute all of the fine details, this incomparable team did it all, and we could not have had the privilege of working with a better group of people.

A special thank you to:

Rabbi Raskin and Rabbi Simmons, you are the foundation of our spiritual home, and we thank you for everything you give, each and every day, to our community.

Aimee, your insights and ideas were invaluable, and we are so grateful for your contributions to the success of the Gala.

Carly and Dena, the amount of work that you both handled behind the scenes to make this event so successful is absolutely incredible. We will certainly miss our meetings in the Hospitality Suite: in addition to being so productive, they were, most of all, filled with lots of laughs and fun.

Last but certainly not least, each and every member of the Har Shalom staff helped to make the Gala the beautiful event that it is.
