Temple Israel of New Rochelle Anniversary Gala 2018 From the Gala Co-Chairs Dear Gala Guests, As co-chairs of Temple Israel’s 110th anniversary Gala, we were both excited by the prospect of producing an enjoyable evening, and humbled by the honor of chairing our community’s signature fundraising event. This year we are pleased to honor three women whose contributions to Temple life, education and worship deserve special recognition: 2018 Gala honoree Cantor Emerita Helene S. Reps, Founder’s Award recipient Beverly Hoffmann, and Amy Bass, the President’s Award. Events on the scale of the Gala demonstrate the strength and commitment of our Temple community. In addition to the many talented and dedicated people listed below, we are also immensely grateful to our incredible Temple staff, including: Orietta Schneider who designed the beautiful graphics, and Ellen Egan for running the event so smoothly, keeping track of Journal ads, attendees and our late night worries. Thanks to Jim Weingast and his Blue Roadhouse Orchestra for adding their wonderful music to top off the evening’s festivities. Finally, a well-deserved shout-out to our Gala emcee, the irrepressible Lloyd Robinson, and Paul Sundick, the director/editor of “Helene’s Story,” our video tribute to Cantor Reps, which can be seen online: https://vimeo.com/262756157, and to our Gala photographer Kimberly Schneider. Last, but hardly least, Thank You All for supporting our Temple Israel by attending tonight, congratulating our honorees with your ads, supporting the silent auction and sharing in the warmth of our community.
