OUR HONOREES
Rabbi Dov Oliver & Shevy Oliver
Rabbi Dov and Shevy Oliver are the dynamic duo behind Hillel of Rockland, which provides a warm and welcoming community for Jewish young adults in our area. Since assuming leadership of Hillel in 2007, together they have created a vibrant and inclusive space where participants of diverse backgrounds can explore their Jewish identities and connect with their peers.
Both Dov and Shevy have many years of experience in Jewish outreach in such far flung places as South Africa, Slovakia, Israel, Canada, and California. During the early years of their marriage, while living in Dov’s hometown of Melbourne, Australia, they traveled to the Australian outback to engage Jewish people who were geographically and spiritually distant from Jewish life.
Rabbi Dov, who prepared for the rabbinate in Montreal and Israel, has led 29 Birthright Israel trips, enabling more than 1,000 students to experience Israel. One of the most sought after trip leaders, he has been tapped to lead trips for children of Birthright’s benefactors.
As the descendant of Holocaust survivors, Dov found particular gratification in organizing Holocaust History Missions to Poland to educate today’s generation about this sad chapter in history.
Shevy Oliver, an alumna of RCC, was among the first to join Hillel when it was formed in 1999. She is passionate about employing arts and culture to promote appreciation and understanding of Judaism and Israel. She runs art therapy workshops and creates innovative programming for Hillel that promotes emotional and physical wellness for young adults, including hikes, yoga, drumming circles, and breathwork.
Since assuming leadership of Hillel in 2007, the Olivers have greatly expanded its reach, offering a wide range of activities and events both on and off campus that cater to the diverse interests and needs of its students. The Shabbat table at their home is a forum for open dialogue (along with great home-cooked food). Young Jewish people ranging from secular to formerly Chassidic to those simply inquiring find a home and community at the Hillel the Olivers have nurtured.
On campus at RCC, the Olivers instituted a strong Jewish presence, creating a series of activities for Jewish Heritage Month and Holocaust Commemoration. They offer an important support system to Jewish students on campus throughout a difficult climate.
The Olivers are parents of three daughters who are proud to be growing up in a home that welcomes a wide array of guests.

MESSAGE FROM THE JCC CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER & PRESIDENT
Today we honor seven outstanding community leaders for their “Generosity” in standing with Israel at JCC Rockland’s 36th Founders Celebration. Extraordinary times, call for extraordinary people and here are a few highlights on why these remarkable honorees were chosen as this year’s recipients of the Estelle & Allan z”l Eisenkraft Founder’s Award.
Ari Rosenblum of the Jewish Federation & Foundation of Rockland County, played a pivotal role in rallying our community post October 7th. First bringing together 2,000 people for a community solidarity gathering and then to Washington, DC for the March for Israel with 13 buses with more than 700 local attendees. Federation has raised over $725,000 for Israel relief funds on top of their agency’s local campaign.
Maria Dowling of Rockland Jewish Family Service continues to lead with compassion and is always willing to be the first to step in for someone to find a way to manage the challenges they face. Maria oversees an incredible caring staff who have been instrumental in helping the community cope through the loss and heartache of this deadly war.
Lee Schwartz and Rebecca Bannerman of Israel Bonds always impress us with their steadfast support of the State of Israel and raising even greater funds to help with support for Israel’s infrastructure. They are a dynamic duo and have contributed greatly to the surge in bond investments helping the Israeli economy remain strong and stable.
Andrea Winograd of the Holocaust Museum & Center for Tolerance and Education has always led the plight of educating the community, through the lens of the Holocaust, about the dangers of intolerance and antisemitism. Andrea could not have imagined that she would have to face such ugliness again and counsels holocaust survivors through today’s horrors and will stop at nothing to inspire moral courage in the face of injustice.
Rabbi Dov & Shevy Oliver of Hillel Rockland never failed to bring students together in unity through tough times. They were one of the first to bring students on Birthright Israel to Israel in the midst of the war and continue to do so. Whether it is facing anti-semitism on campus or creating meaningful and safe spaces for Jewish connections, we are grateful for their courage and leadership.
Thank you to all of you who supported the journal which has raised more than $150,000. A portion of the proceeds raised will be earmarked to strengthen our community outreach and efforts in standing with Israel. We remain focused on our new vision of welcoming all into the heart of Jewish life in Rockland County. We are proud to serve people of all ages and interests and have created a place that promotes our Jewish core values of physical, intellectual, and spiritual growth. We are grateful to each of you for remaining steadfast in your support for Israel and the JCC.
Am Yisrael Chai,

You have each, in your own inimitable way, through the leadership of your agencies, touched the hearts and souls of so many individuals and have impacted so many lives both locally and abroad.
Leaders give of themselves and set an example for getting others to work with them. They realize that strategies for success require the combined talents and efforts of many people. They are open to and encourage new ideas, provide direction, are flexible, respectful and motivating. They energize people at every opportunity and aspire to accomplish significant things.
We are proud of our association with each of you, proud to work with and support you and may your agencies continue to go from strength to strength for years and years to come.
Fondly,
