congregation bais torah 38th Annual Dinner
Sunday, April 21, 2013 ● י א א ײ ר ת ש ע ״ ג
Special Recognition To Mr. & Mrs. Henry Shapiro ● Mrs. Libby Mendlowitz
Rabbi Yisroel & Amy Gottlieb, Guests of Honor Rabbi Yisroel Gottlieb is an alumnus of Yeshivat Shaalvim and a graduate of Yeshiva College. He studied at Yeshivas Ohr Reuven in Monsey, New York where he obtained his smicha from Rav Bezalel Rudinsky. He attended Law School at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. Rabbi Gottlieb is the Rav of Congregation Bais Torah in Suffern NY and is also a Rebbe in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven and the General Studies Principal at Yeshiva Darchei Noam, both in Suffern NY. Amy is a graduate of
SUNY New Paltz and holds a Masters degree in education from City College. She has taught sixth grade girls for twenty years. They live in Suffern and are the proud parents of six beautiful children.
Michael Kronenberg, Presidential Award Michael was raised in Long Beach, Long Island, by his parents Rabbi Mordechai and Pearl Kronenberg. Michael began his academic career in 1954, as one of the first six students of the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach (HALB) and then attended HILI High School in Far Rockaway. He received his BA degree from Yeshiva University in 1972, and his MBA in Finance from the NYU Graduate School of Business in 1974. Michael attributes his dedication to Jewish communal life to the influence and example of his
parents and in-laws who distinguished themselves in their devotion and selflessness to Jewish life. Married to Sharon in 1972, they moved to the Monsey-Suffern community in 1980, and almost immediately became vibrant and active members of the Bais Torah family. Michael has just completed his 3rd tenure as President and has also served as Vice President and Treasurer in other administrations. Michael has spent most of his business career in the watch industry as COO of Fada Industries (now Geneva Watch Group) and currently as Managing Director / EVP of Haskell Timepieces in NYC. Sharon and Michael feel blessed and are extremely proud of their children and their spouses and derive great pleasure and nachas from watching them raise their own families, both here and in Israel.
Sandy Lieder, Aishes Chayil Award Sandy was born and raised in Washington Heights where she attended Breuer’s yeshiva through seminary. She married Jossi in 1975 and moved to Monsey completing a bachelor’s degree from Hunter College. She furthered her education at St. Thomas Aquinas with an accounting degree in 1978 and received her CPA certification in 1987.
Sandy’s devotion to working for the Klall was lovingly spearheaded and modeled by her beloved parents Harry and Marguerite Levi z”l more fondly known as Mr. and Mrs. Yeshiva. Their dedication to the Breuer’s community was shared by the participation of the entire family. In 1977 when Jossi, Sandy and Rephoel moved to the Monsey community, Sandy stepped right up again to volunteer her services to the Bais Torah Sisterhood. She currently heads the shiva meals program and bikkur cholim committees while participating in many behind the scenes projects. Sandy worked as a C.P.A. for 18 years and now works beside Jossi in his optometry practice. Her greatest joy is being a hands on savta to her grandchildren in Monsey, Queens, Lakewood and Baltimore.
Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz, Gabbai of the Year Award Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz is a musmach of REITS and holds advanced degrees in education and engineering. For the past dozen years he has taught special education for the high school division of The Sinai Schools in New Jersey. Prior to his career in education, Rabbi Horowitz served as the Rav of congregations in Kingston, Ontario, Allentown, Pennsylvania and Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn, for a total of twenty five years. Rabbi Shlomo and his aishes chayil Shifra have five children and
eleven grandchildren.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Congrega on Bais Torah's 38th annual dinner, and to thank you for joining us on this momentous occasion.
In a concurring opinion to a 1964 Supreme Court ruling, Jus ce Po er Stewart entered a new phrase into the American cultural lexicon. His “I know it when I see it” standard became the paradigm for all areas of life where quan fica on is beyond the boundary of 1,000 words, but where the idea can s ll be captured in the picture that is worth so much more.
Jus ce Stewart's elegant phrase is, perhaps, the perfect expression of the exhorta on to holiness that opens the second of yesterday's two parshiyos. Holiness is intangible, it is largely undefinable and certainly not quan fiable, yet it is there for us to find, and we somehow “know it when we see it.”
The central hub of holiness and sanc ty in our lives is the sanctuary, our shul, which raises and li s us from the mundane to the exalted. It is there that we commune with G-d; it is there that we connect with one another, and it is there where the quintessence of holiness is on display for us to see, to recognize and to emulate.
That holiness is manifest in the individuals who answer the call to serve G-d and His people in their house of me ng.
Tonight, my wife and I have the privilege of standing alongside, and being humbled in the presence of a group of individuals who have dis nguished themselves in their service to not just our shul, but to the Jewish people at large.
Our immediate past president, Michael Kronenberg, and his wife Sharon are both scions of families whose legacies are centered around their dissemina on of Torah and support and succor of the Jewish people. Michael and Sharon have traveled their lives along the path set by their fore-bearers and have become standard-bearers in our shul for Torah, chessed, and service. Michael's return to the presidency of the shul, with its a endant pressures and tribula ons, was born of that deeply rooted sense of responsibility to use one's talents and abili es in the service of a higher calling. Michael led the shul in his term with great for tude, vision, caring, concern and with a deep apprecia on for the greatness of Bais Torah. It is our hope and prayer that Michael and Sharon's model will serve to inspire all of us and will bring their children and grandchildren to carry on their outstanding family legacy for genera ons to come.
Our outgoing “Gabbai of the Year”, Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz, and his wife Shifra have spent their lives in Jewish public service. As a Rav, an educator, and a leader, Rabbi Horowitz has molded communi es and genera ons in the ways and paths of the Torah, and has brought meaning into their Judaism with his depth and insight. In the shul, we have been the consistent beneficiaries of Rabbi Horowitz's broad array of talents as a baal koreh, baal tefilah, speaker and repository of wisdom. In his three-year tenure in the “gabbinate” Rabbi Horowitz has de ly applied his talents and his capabili es to bear on the davening, leining and all aspects of the service. His a en on to every detail, combined with his sensi vity to every individual and that individual's needs have elevated the office of gabbai to even greater heights and will serve as the standard by which future gabbaim will be measured.
One of the ironies of the very public conferring of awards on those who epitomize Jewish values, is that one of the core values of Judaism is modesty. We try to ins ll in our children and ourselves the merit of keeping our greatest achievements out of the spotlight. Yet, if those accomplishments are never allowed to see the light of day, how are those around us to learn the proper path to follow. The paradigm of this conflict is the Jewish woman, the Woman of Valor, who balances the values of modesty, kol k'vudah bas melech pnimah, along with the awesome responsibility of raising and guiding the next genera on along the path to greatness.

Tonight's Eishes Chayil awardee, Mrs. Sandy Lieder, along with her husband Yossi, is the prototype of that balance. Sandy has served the shul in a mul tude of capaci es throughout the years. She is a stalwart a endee of all the shiurum and special programs and a bedrock for much of the chessed that is the hallmark of our shul. She and her family have done so without calling a en on to themselves or their ac ons, but instead have embraced the values of humility and quiet modesty that we hold so dear. It is our hope that their reluctant agreement to allow us to shine the spotlight on the quiet greatness of the Lieder family shall serve to inspire us all to follow their lead.
Yet another aspect that makes Bais Torah so unique and so special is how it is one of the few places le in the Jewish world where the coming genera on of Jewish children can and do come together under one roof with the older genera on who carved the path for us all. The next two acknowledgments this evening honor and pay tribute to that quality.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shapiro are far more than just beloved members of our shul; they are living legends, legacies of a world that was, but is no more. Mr. Shapiro, in his youth, studied in Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin under the tutelage of the venerated Rosh HaYeshiva Rav Meir Shapiro zt”l, known as the father of the daf yomi. There, Mr. Shapiro excelled and flourished, un l the darkness that engulfed Europe forced him and his fellows to flee eastward. As one of the last remaining talmidim of Lublin, Mr. Shapiro was prominently profiled in Jewish publica ons around last year's siyum haShas. It is fi ng and proper that we recognize and honor this venerable couple. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shapiro, with the Kesser Shem Tov award.
Lastly, for genera ons to prosper and grow, for Jewish educa on to con nue and thrive, and for shuls to remain vital and vibrant centers of Jewish con nuity, individuals o en must reach into themselves and find the greatness and for tude to bring all of the disparate elements together. We, as a shul, do not exist in a vacuum, nor do we wish to. Rather, we func on as part and parcel of a broader Jewish community who all work in tandem for the be erment of the Jewish people. For far too long, our broader community has lacked the programming necessary to serve the children of the surrounding area. Mrs. Libby Mendlowitz, who, alongside her husband Eli, is a mother to some of those children, took it upon herself to organize and arrange a ernoon pirchei and b'nos groups for the boys and girls in our community. Now, each Shabbos a ernoon, our shul is once again a hub of excitement and learning as dozens of children come to take part in these groups. Tonight, we pay tribute to Mrs. Libby Mendlowitz for her service to the community, and we thank her for partnering with us in this endeavor.
Tonight, we recognize the quiet greatness that has been that standard that has carried the Jewish people throughout the centuries. May we all live up to the example set by these very special individuals.

Message from the President
This year’s dinner arrives on the coa ails of the fes val of Passover as we recharge ourselves with the determina on to reinforce the walls of our beloved Beit Knesset. Our task is to keep the walls of our Shul firm, durable and to convert our halls into halls of enlightenment, warmth and protec on in these turbulent mes.
On this special evening we are grateful to those honorees that provide the leadership and inspira on that makes our Beit Knesset unique.
We have selected an extraordinary couple, Rabbi Go lieb and Amy, as guests of honor. For almost ten years they have inspired us as a kehilla to safeguard the values of Torah, and Gemillas Chesed. The model that the Rabbi and Amy provide us on a daily basis is an impressive example of a legacy that builds Jewish essence and con nuity. Watch the Rabbi and Amy closely, see how they treat each and every person with respect and dignity. Witness the love and shalom bayis they display towards their family and the remarkable way they are raising their children. I have been fortunate to consider Rabbi Go lieb as my Rav and friend.
The Torah informs us that Avrohom was chosen to lead because of his ability to inspire and mo vate. Michael Kronenberg, the recipient of the Presiden al award has been the catalyst in direc ng us in all facets of Shul ac vi es. Michael’s remarkable orchestra on of the myriad of Shul programs defies descrip on. Despite all the pressures of being Shul president, he has always maintained a keen insight, composure and sense of priori es. Michael and his aishes chayil Sharon embody all that is great in Bais Torah. On a personal note, I wish to thank him for his con nued efforts on behalf of Bais Torah, and for being my mentor.
Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz , Gabbai of the Year, personifies the type of sensi vity and dedica on necessary to be a successful gabbai. His a en on to detail, and me culousness in dealing with the interpersonal needs of our members has been exemplary.
Sandy Lieder, the aishes chayil awadree, is the quintessence of sincere devo on, humility and compassion. She together with her husband Yussie, always give to the Shul and do so quietly, preferring to draw a en on to the beauty of Bais Torah rather than to themselves. They, too, are shining examples of the sanc ty that is our shared goal in life.
Our Kesser Shem Tov award is bestowed to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shapiro. They are the quiet heroes of our Shul. They represent all that is truly great about our Kehilla. Tonight we gather to pay homage to them and rededicate ourselves to follow their example.
We salute Mrs. Libby Mendlowitz on her ini a ve in star ng the Bnos and Pirchei programs.
Watching our Shul be vibrant with young children from the neighborhood has been a source of nachas to all of us.
This past year has been a remarkable year, challenging yet fulfilling. Working with the Rabbi side by side in developing new programs, ideas and ways of reaching the community at large has been a labor of love. It is you, the members of our great Shul, who inspire me each and every day with your selflessness, random acts of kindness and friendship.
Finally, I want to pay tribute to my beau ful wife, Jackie, who is at my side each and everyday. Her encouragement and willingness to act as my sounding board has helped me orchestrate all the responsibili es as president. Whatever merit one has for doing Tzarchei Tzibur, I share with you.
May we all be blessed with good health, parnasa and nachas from our families and ourselves. May our Shul con nue to be a shining light to our Monsey community and to Klall Yisrael.

In recognition of all the Honorees, and the immeasurable contributions they have made, and continue to make on behalf of Congregation Bais Torah. In years past, those honored at the Shul’s Dinner, were unquestionably most deserving of this accolade. This year, however, each of the Honorees merit a page of their own, which even in the final analysis, would seem inadequate.
Rabbi Yisroel Gottlieb & Amy - Bais Torah has been blessed to have as its Rabbi, A Talmud Chochum who can relate to the Kehilah in a multitude of inclusive and nonjudgmental ways. As the Rabbi noted in his Shabbos Hagodal Drasha, with clarity of thought and brevity of wit, the key to understanding the section of the Four sons in the Haggadah is to understand that if you want to influence any individual, one has to speak the language of that individual. The respect and admiration that we all have for Rabbi Gottlieb, is not only because of his “lamdus,” his “medos”, his Weltanschauung,” but most important of all his unconditional love for all Jews, and his ability to relate to each individual In their own “language.” Amy, an accomplished individual in her own right, is the glue that holds all the fabric together. The Rabbi, undoubtedly, could not accomplish all that he does without her constant support, input and sagacious advice. These are ,not pro-forma attributes as juggling six children, maintaining a household, teaching, and being the Rabbi’s partner and sounding board is indeed a daunting task.
Michael Kronenberg - Represents the consummate Shul Member. His devotion to Bais Torah cannot be measured by the usual yardsticks, precisely because there are no metrics, currently available, by which his attributes can be measured. Whether in his leadership capacity as President, Shul member or Consigliore, Michael’s unique persona of giving 100% of himself , and arriving at fair and equitable solutions to seemingly insoluable problems speaks volumes to the individual we honor tonight.
Sandy Lieder - While we do not believe in Ghosts, there appears to be , in the Bais Torah Community, an apparition behind the scenes, never seen, but immensely effective. There could not be a more apt description that epitomizes Sandy Lieder. The majority of Bais Torah is unaware of the "Ghost-Like" deeds of chesed , and kindness that Sandy performs virtually on a daily basis. Clearly, “midos” that needs much emulation. Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz - The man with the most difficult, and Thankless job in Bais Torah- The Gabbi . Navigating the vicissitudes of dealing with human frailty, and ease of offense, Rabbi Horowitz approaches everyone with a smile, and genuine good nature. I have yet to hear of wanton complaints by any member of Bais Torah that they were slighted by not getting an Aliyah, and more importantly by not getting the “appropriate” Aliyah. Rabbi Horowitz’s job description requires the patience of a Saint and the sleight of hand that would make Houdini proud. On all fronts, he has been an immense success and done so selflessly, and without deprecating anyone. We are grateful that Mr. Henry Shapiro brings to Bais Torah the dignity and spirit of the Yeshivah of Chochmei Lublin, that Mrs. Anne Shapiro brings to us her singular beauty and elegance
We thank Libby Mendlowitz for enhancing the children’s Shabbos schedule at Bais Torah

Honoring Our Good Friend and Presidential Awardee
Michael Kronenberg
and the Praiseworthy Congregation of Bais Torah
It is a great pleasure and honor to have the opportunity to say a few words about an outstanding person.
Many times in our professional lives our paths cross special people and we are lucky to call them friends as well as colleagues or business partners.
We first started to do business with Michael two decades ago at Fada Industries where we were soon to learn
that Michael was a tough but fair negotiator.
Over the years we became friends and I always felt he was someone I could reach out to for guidance and advice on personal as well as business matters. He was particularly supportive during a health crisis which my
family endured.
As with most good relationships, ours is built on mutual respect and trust. When Michael calls to ask a business favor which may be out of the ordinary, I always know that I can feel 100% secure in what he is telling
me. He has never let me down. I have seen how he treats his staff and coworkers and I can see why he commands so much respect and support.
A business dinner with Michael is like two friends catching up with genuine interest in their families, careers
and well-being. In the competitive, cut throat environment in which we live there are few people that rise above the rest that somehow combine business results with integrity and friendship.
How fortunate am I that my path crossed with that of Michael Kronenberg.
Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your special evening.

The grandchildren speak for themselves and tell what they know about What Savta Does For Others And For Us
Savta “polishes the silver for the shul,” “cleans the ארון קדש,” “the מנורה and the ‘bars’”
She “drives the ladies’” and “parks her car in the garage,” (after coming home from a ביקור חולים run)
“She is a good cook” and “makes suppers for a small ישיבה” and others
“Call Sa-ta” (* Savta makes tons of phone calls to arrange meals for שבעה homes and when someone has a baby).
“Sa-ta - house” (where she always has a lot of guests)
“She makes a lot of שבע ברכות” and “parties in her house for so many people”
“She comes to help us when we have a baby,” and is always looking to find ways to help others
Savta “buys me presents”
“lets us take what we want without asking”
And “brings us big huge packages of colored paper” (all examples of her generosity and giving nature which she shares with her family, friends, and צדקה)
“She makes a birthday cake for me every year”
“goes out to buy שבת party when we come for שבת”
And is always looking out to make sure that each person is happy
“She always says hello to people”
And brings smiles to so many faces.
“Da-ba-da” (* Savta does so much for everyone else)
“I don’t know” where to begin to describe all that Savta does……”
And for those who are too small to answer the question: What does Savta do for others? We can sum it all up with “a lot of stuff”
WE ASPIRE TO BE LIKE YOU!
We love you Savta! Love, All your Lieder Grandchildren
!

Mazel Tov To All of This Evening’s Honorees
To our dear Rabbi and Amy, our lives have been so enriched these last ten years. Your brilliant Torah insights coupled with your sense of humor and warmth have made
it a joy and pleasure to daven in Bais Torah. We have such nachas observing your beautiful family as they grow and mature. As an added benefit, we have the privilege
and pleasure of having you as our neighbors and good friends.
Michael, we don’t know how you manage it, but you have spent so much time and energy keeping our shul going and enriching our lives because of it. We cherish our
friendship with you and Sharon and love being your neighbors directly across Carlton Road (although neither of us live on that street).
Sandy, you and Jossi have spiritually uplifted all of us at Bais Torah. Your chessed

Teddy and Debby and Family
The success of any institution depends on strong leadership, the hallmark of our מורה דאתרא, Rabbi Yisroel Gottlieb. An excellent speaker, his speeches are most meaningful, full of content, application, with a sprinkling of humor. A marvelous teacher, we, his members, have the wonderful opportunity to expand our knowledge and depth of learning. Above all else, he is tuned in to the needs of his congregants.
The marriage of Rabbi Yisroel and Amy was “a match made in heaven”. Amy and our Rabbi are a perfect team. Both are warm and compassionate, charming, and the proud parents of beautiful children.
“Once you have found him, never let him go”. These words aptly describe the relationship of Bais Torah to Michael Kronenberg, our outgoing president. As the CEO of our shul, Michael once again exhibited his ability as a leader. In his quiet and efficient manner, he set is goals and accomplished them. Kudos to our dear friend Michael.
Sandy Lieder, is a petite dynamo of talent and skills, with excess energy and devotion to our community. Sandy volunteers for any job that needs to be done, be it to help an individual in need, or any other chesed. She is an inspiration to all of us.
A most difficult job is being a gabbai of a shul. Indeed, Bais Torah was fortunate to be able to convince Rabbi Shlomo Horowitz to take on this responsibility, one that he handled professionally, and with sensitivity. Thank you RebShlomo for a job well done.
Chaim Shapiro (Rabbi) enhances our shul by his very presence. He walks to shul early to begin his day by learning before davening, Atalmid of the Yeshiva of Voloshin, he miraculously escaped the clutches of Hitler with his miraculous trip through Russia and Siberia to join other refugees in Shanghai. May Hashem grant him and his wife many more years of good health.
As longtime devoted members of the Bais Torah family, we regret that we were unable to join and celebrate with you this evening.

Do good people make a wonderful synagogue an even better place or does a wonderful synagogue make good people even better? Or is it Michael Rossman’s weekly kiddush? Whatever the IT is, Bais Torah is a welcoming community filled with kindnesses, quiet chesed, dedication to Torah, to scholarship and D’vaikus. Each honoree contributes generously to the harmony of the whole and we thank you all for making the synagogue and the community one which draws us back time after time. We must say a special thank you to Michael Kronenberg for his many years of friendship and life cycle events enhanced or made easier for having been shared.
