FROM TH E EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Deborah Gregor
Except for Laurieand Rabbi Skolnik,thereisnooneat FHJCwith whom I havespent moretime,includingin person,on zoom,on callsandon email,than Carl.Workingwith Rabbi Skolnik has been ablessing- he,asyou all know,isabrilliant scholar and teacher andacompassionatehuman,and I am blessedtohave been abletolearn from him for themanyyearswehaveworked together.I am doublyblessedtoalsohavehadCarl asateacher.
When I seeadeadend,Carl discoversanarrowpassage;when my resourcesaredepleted,hefindsanewsourcetotap;when I want toscream,hetakesadeepbreath.Hiscounsel isalwayswiseandconsidered.His motivation isalwaysthegreater good.Hisdemeanor isalwaysmeasured,respectful and kind Hehaslimitlesspatienceandpersistent goodhumor Manyyearsago,Carl set himself agoal ?agoal for thebenefit of our community?andhehasnever wavered from itspursuit.Thegenerosityhehasshown bygivingliterallythousandsof hoursof histime in hisprofessional capacity,duringhiswork days,nightsand weekends,cannot be overstated.It givesmeenormouspleasuretonight topubliclyacknowledgeall hehasgiven andtostateunequivocallythat thefutureof FHJCwasdreamt byCarl,shepherded by Carl,andmademanifest byCarl.
Tonight ismadeeven morespecial with thepresentation of our KeepersoftheFaithaward toBarbaraandJerryKlibanoff.Shul hastrulybeen afocal point of BarbaraandJerry?s livessince1969,when theyjoined,and until today.TheForest HillsJewish Center has been blessedtocount them amongour most exemplarymembersandtheyhave participatedin andled practicallyeveryconceivableprogram,committeeandevent over theyears,alwayswith goodgrace,refinedtasteandwarm smiles.Over morethan half a century,theyhaveeach lavishedall their manytalents,abundant loveand prodigious energiesfor thebetterment of our shul and thebenefit of our members.
Our honoreestonight aretrulyveryspecial peoplebut in fact,FHJCisfortunatetohave manydedicatedanddevotedmemberswhostepuptimeand again when theyareneeded, bringingtheir uniquetalentsand gifts,andwhoholdFHJCdear in their hearts.Tonight?s event,asan example,wouldnot havehappened without theDinner Committee?Ellen Jacobs,TemmaKingsley,AlyssaPollack andPaulineRaphael;and it would not havebeen afinancial successwithout our journal team of IlanaAltman,JoeFox,Howard Pollack andMark Raphael.Andit wouldnot havebeen thejoyouscelebration it waswithout all of you whocametohonor our shul and our worthyhonorees.
