Curb Your Enthusiasm and Broad City star Susie Essman was in Boston on February 3 as the keynote speaker for Combined Jewish Philanthropies’ (CJP) annual Chai in the Hub event honoring 10 local young professionals whose exceptional work has positively impacted the Boston Jewish community. Essman – pictured onstage with CJP’s Chai Society Chairs Joshua Kay and Alexis Isenberg – captivated the 500 attendees present at the sold-out event, with her charm, wit and trademark sense of humor, making it the most successful Chai in the Hub event to date.

Maimonides students Zoe Roda of Sharon and Senai Weglien of Brookline were part of the Team Shalva at the Jerusalem Marathon on March 9. "My experience with Team Shalva was life-changing and opened up new ways of thinking about human dignity for everyone," said Zoe, who helped raise money for the organization. The Shalva organization, located in Jerusalem, provides free assistance to children with special needs, regardless of their socioeconomic background or religion.
