Thank you Mike for all you have done to assure Jewish youth in the US ( and Israel) continue to have access to, and benefit from, a pluralistic view of Judaism and Zionism through Young Judaea. All of your hard work have made the existence of an independent YJ a reality. We on the BOD have seen your leadership in action and thousands of kids have benefitted.
To Judy and the rest of the Berman family we say "Thank You for sharing Mike with us". We know the time this has taken and appreciate it.
And to TY leadership and staff over these many years Thank You! - Maureen, Maya and I created great friends and wonderful memories in Barryville. Cheers to the next 75 years!
To Natan Sharansky, thank you for showing us all how to stand for what is right, even when it means taking on the world! You may not have known about us but we certainly have known about you. Your example of leadership for the benefit of others shines through the years.
