Our Honorees

AMY LEON

Amy is a busy mom of 2, a middle school French teacher of 14 years, and the owner of FIT4MOM Rockland, which opened in 2019. FIT4MOM Rockland offers fitness and community by moms for moms. With weekly fitness classes, playgroups, and moms’ nights outs, FIT4MOM provides young moms with the opportunity to connect within the local community. The signature class is Stroller Strides, featuring a total-body workout for mom with strength, cardio, and core training, all will engaging the little ones in a stroller with songs, puppets, bubbles, and more! The JCC has become the winter home for these stroller classes plus the moms-only Body Well training and FIT4BABY prenatal groups.

Amy also believes in the importance of community outreach and giving back. Therefore, she regularly participates in service activities to model these values with the moms and children of FIT4MOM Rockland. Past community projects have included a diaper drive and blessing bags for Center for Safety & Change, filling holiday wish lists for United Way of Rockland’s Hope for the Holidays, backpack drives for the Nyack Center, an Earth Day park clean up at Tallman State Park, and decorating cards for the Centro de Amigos. Amy also serves as a committee member for the Montefiore Nyack Foundation Rides & Strides event. FIT4MOM is a sponsor of the Kids Fun Run the event this fall, which benefits the Breast Center at the hospital. Additionally, the FIT4MOM Run Club+ participates in various local races that go to great local causes as well!

Since becoming parents, Amy and her husband, Justin, have also enjoyed finding their own opportunities for community and connection at the J. Their daughter Emma had the most incredible summer in camp’s J-Land program - the splash pad and zip-lining were her big summer highlights! Emma is also playing in her second season of soccer in the Mini Soccer program.

In her (very limited!) free time, Amy enjoys reading, spending time outdoors, connecting with friends, and trying new restaurants with her husband. She is truly honored to be part of Night Under The Stars

Our Honorees

EKKA PECK

Ekka has been involved in JCC Rockland throughout her entire life, from Mitzvah Makers and Maccabi Games to sports programming and holiday and community celebrations and more. The JCC in all of its previous homes is something she remembers fondly—memories of purim carnivals, time in the gym, mitzvah days, and even celebrating her Sweet 16 at the location on Route 45. This place now serves as a home away from home to her and her husband Harrison and her two children Shai and Ziva as they both attend in the Deborah Koenig Early Childhood Center and JCC Rockland Camps.

Ekka has a strong connection to Israel and after high school she went to Israel on Young Judaea’s Year Course, Ekka fell so in love with Israel that she stayed an additional year and did her National Service (Sherut Leumi), volunteering at a school for children with disabilities before making aliyah in 2010 after completing her Bachelors in Hebrew Language Studies at CUNY Queens. Ekka worked for Young Judaea – first in Israel and then in New York City from 2010-2016. Following three years as an Executive Assistant to the Chief Israel Emissary and the Boruchin Center at Jewish National Fund (JNF), Ekka recently returned to Young Judaea as the Director of Recruitment, Sales and Enrollment.

Ekka is very involved in her home community of Rockland County New York, serving as the President of the Executive Board of Hillel of Rockland and is also involved as a volunteer through her family’s foundation in many philanthropic ventures such as the Rockland County Pride Center, The Center for Safety and Change, and much more.

MISSION STATEMENT

JCC Rockland

OUR MISSION

JCC Rockland is dedicated to the enrichment and continuity of Jewish life and to the preservation and celebration of our rich heritage. The center shall strengthen individual awareness and connection to the Jewish community, the state of Israel, and the community at large through recreational, physical, educational, social and cultural programs.

Message from the JCC Chief Executive Officer & President

We are so excited to celebrate the JCC tonight with you. This is the first fundraising event held inside the JCC since Covid-19 shut us down in 2020. Welcome back!

Tonight, we honor three women: two who will be part of our next generation of leadership, Ekka Adler and Amy Leon, and one who already has a lead role in our JCC, Eliza Millman, our Chief Operating Officer. There’s a cliché that when you need something done, ask a busy person. In this case, the cliché could not be more accurate. All three of these women have full time jobs in addition to raising their children. It would be easy for them to put community involvement aside for the time being, but that is not who they are.

Ekka has been giving back to the community as president of the board of Hillel of Rockland and through her involvement in her family’s foundation and its many philanthropic ventures. Amy is a middle school French teacher and owns a business, FIT4MOM Rockland, which opened in 2019 and helps young moms to get engaged in community. Ekka and Amy have integrated community service into their lives by supporting organizations like the Pride Center, Montefiore Nyack Foundation, Rides & Strides, United Way, Nyack Center, Center for Safety & Change, and many other organizations. We are so proud to showcase their commitment tonight.

Eliza Millman has been an outstanding COO for the past 9+ years. She has grown our programming dramatically, especially in the Deborah Koenig Early Childhood Center and at our JCC camps. The Deborah Koenig Early Childhood Center started nine years ago with 18 children. It currently has more than 100 children enrolled from six weeks to prekindergarten. Our JCC Camps have ballooned from 50 children attending daily to more than 400.

Each of our three honorees is also connected to our theme tonight: celebration of ten years of JCC Rockland Camps. Ekka boasts that her oldest daughter Shai loved JCC camps this past summer and learned to swim. Amy’s oldest daughter Emma said she “had the best summer ever” and she loved the splash pad and zip-lining. Eliza has worked in JCCs for more than 20 years and is proud of the fact that her three children, Joshua, Farah, and Janna have loved

As we begin our sixteenth year in our Jewish Community Campus in West Nyack, we thank all of you for your support. There is no limit what we can accomplish together.

ELIZA MILLMAN

on receiving this great honor.

When you began this journey ten years ago at JCC Rockland, a wise man expressed his gratitude to us for sharing you with the community. We did not realize how welcoming and enriching this community would be for you. We are so proud of you for being recognized for your never ending commitment to not only being your best, but for doing your best for the benefit of this community you love so much.

MAZAL TOV WITH LOVE, YOUR FAMILY SCOTT, JOSHUA, FARAH & JANNA

When we think about how ELIZA has excelled in the career she loves, we think of Rudyard Kipling’s masterful poem “If” (in the author’s case, speaking of his son)

“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming you...yours is the earth and everything that is in it...”

In this way, and others, Eliza is exceptional, as well as, of coursefirst and foremost - being our beloved daughter

AMY

although I know you for a very short time, you are an inspiring person as well. Besides working full time as a middle school French teacher, through your business FIT4MOM Rockland, you help young mom’s to get engaged in community. Integrating your moms in community service by supporting organizations like Montefiore Nyack Foundation, Rides & Strides event, United Way, Nyack Center, Center for Safety & Change, and many other organizations, is inspiring.

ELIZA

you have improved the world in many ways but especially locally in overseeing the growth of the Deborah Koenig Early Childhood Center and JCC camps. (As well as all programming). So many children and families lives have been enriched through your leadership.

In almost ten short years as the Chief Operating Officer, you have been a terrific partner, an amazing leader, and a good friend.

EKKA

I have known you since you were born and I value your commitment to community and to the JCC. Many people would say that being a mom of two young daughters and working full time would be enough for one person but you truly believe in giving back to your community as president of the board of Hillel of Rockland and also through your involvement in your families foundation and its many philanthropic ventures including the Rockland County Pride Center, The Center for Safety and Change, and many others.

MAZEL TOV, JACKIE & BILL FRANK

When we think about how ELIZA has excelled in the career she loves, we think of Rudyard Kipling’s masterful poem “If” (in the author’s case, speaking of his son)

“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming you...yours is the earth and everything that is in it...”

In this way, and others, Eliza is exceptional, as well as, of coursefirst and foremost - being our beloved daughter

Congratualtions ELIZA MILLMAN
