Temple Beth Torah - Black and White Gala 2023

Temple Beth Torah Presents Our Black and White Gala

Honoring Our 2023 Service Award Winners

Robin & Eric Forti

PRESENTING SPONSOR

It is an honor to celebrate Eric & Robin Forti!

Robin impacted our daughter’s preschool and religious school experience - Gabi will forever draw a distinction between “Mommy” Robin and “Mrs.” Robin and who teaches her more!

Eric has made our experience at the Temple better. His friendship and leadership is bar none and “Mommy” Robin could not stay on the Board without her board “boyfriend.”

Mazel Tov & Love, Lee and Robin Kantor
