Vogel, to our Shelly Leffel service awardees, Elissa and Joel Richter and

to the recipients of thMe Erit. a&n SMharpsir.oEYxouanmg Lpelaedership award, Rachel,

Aliza, and Talia Sperber, on their well-deserved honors. We all feel a

deep sense of pride and admiration, as we join in recognizing their

extraordinary efforts and accomplishments on behalf of our ‫בית הכנסת‬.

How fortunate our community is to have had these wonderful
individuals lead our ‫בית הכנסת‬. Their devotion and dedication to our
shul is nothing less than remarkable. They have diligently served our
community in countless ways and have worked tirelessly on behalf of
the shul. Our beloved honorees are true “doers” and we have all been
the fortunate recipients of their tireless efforts.

Their dedication and commitment to the needs of the ‫ ציבור‬is matched
only by their genuinely modest and unassuming manner. They serve as
sterling role models for all who have the privilege of knowing them. May

their hard work and efforts to make this evening entertaining,
enjoyable and a wonderful success.

Mr. & Mrs. Example

In Parshas Terumah, perek 25, pasuk 8, Hashem commands Moshe
to tell Bnai Yisrael “‫”וְ ָ֥עשׂוּ ִ֖לי ִמ ְק ָ֑דּשׁ וְ ָ ֽשׁ ַכנְ ִ֖תּי ְבּתוֹ ָ ֽכם‬, And they shall make
Me a sanctuary and I will dwell in their midst” The Or Hachaim
Hakadosh asks why does Hashem use the word “mikdash” in
directing Bnai Yisrael to create a place where Hashem’s shechinah
would dwell, when every other time the Torah describes the place
actually built as a “Mishkan.” The first answer given is that the
commandment to create a Mikdash for Hashem is a mitzvah
applicable for all generations. The word “‫ ” ִמ ְק ָ֑דּשׁ‬is used by the
Torah as a reference to the ultimate

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

dwelling place of Hashem in the future. The Jews who left Egypt
built the Mishkan as a temporary structure at Hashem’s direction
so that it could be easily assembled and disassembled to
accommodate their travel through the desert. Once Eretz Yisrael
was conquered, settled, and in a more permanent state, Shlomo

Hamelech completed his fatIhnehr,oDnoovridofHamelech’s vision of a more

permanent structure, the Beis Hamikdash, to fulfill this

commandment of ‫ ְק ָ֑דּשׁ‬M‫י ִמ‬r‫ִ֖ל‬.‫֥עשׂ&וּ‬Mָ ְ‫ו‬. Tros.dHayowniothreouet the Beis HaMikdash
we fulfill this obligation TthhreoyugahreouarmMaizkidnagsh Me’at. Our shul

serves as a focal point for our community, and where we unite to
serve Him. The second answer given by the Or Hachaim Hakadosh
is that the word ‫ ִמ ְק ָ֑דּשׁ‬was used to highlight that everything done

on behalf of the MishMkarn. w&asMcornss.idEexreadmhoplyleor Kadosh. So even

though the place created was called a Mishkan, all tasks associated
with donating, creating, building and maintaining the Mishkan was
considered important and holy. I believe this second answer can
also be extended and applied to all of the past, present and future
efforts made to design, create, build and maintain the Mikdashei
Me’at throughout the generations. The work done to fulfill the
mitzvah of ‫ וְ ָ֥עשׂוּ ִ֖לי ִמ ְק ָ֑דּשׁ‬will forever be considered holy and an
important part of who we are as a nation.

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

Tonight, we honor and express our hakaras hatov to specific
individuals who have significantly contributed to the creation,
design, building, maintenance, and future growth of our own
Mikdash Me’at and of our greater community. The Vogels have
been involved with our shul and the growth of our greater
community for over 40 years. Whether individually as a past shul

president, a former yeshivaIhnighhosncohrooolfprincipal, teachers in local

yeshivot, and a current core member of Shearit HaPlate of Bergen

County or together asMa cro. u&pMle rrusn. Hninogntohreeweell known and loved
Ma-Tov summer day camThpefoyraorveear m27ayzeinagrs, the Vogels represent

pillars of our community and we are forever thankful for the
foundations they have laid, their leadership and inspiration for a
generation of our youth, and the continual quiet chesed they

perform on a day to dMayrb. a&sisM. rs. Example

The Shelly Leffel service award recognizes on an annual basis
people within our community who treat our shul like their second
home, like Shelly Leffel z”l did. These people do everything and
anything to ensure that our shul is functioning and operating
effectively on a daily basis. Our shul would not be able to function
without the Richters. In addition to Joel volunteering as a gabbai,
rental coordinator, and member of the seudat shilishit committee,
Joel leads the earliest daily minyan as chazzan during the entire

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

month of Elul and Yamim Noraim. Behind the scene, the Richters
quietly ensure that the shul’s monthly calendar gets updated and is
available for all our members and the extended community. We
thank the Richters for always putting the shul first and for helping
us know when and where to go within our Mikdash Me’at to serve
Hashem on a daily basis.

In honor of

The youth of our shul represents our future as a nation. We love

our children and cheriMshrt.h&e tMimresw. Heospneonrdeweith them. If given a
choice, some people wouTlhdesyayatrheaatmthaezyinwgould probably want to

spend most of their time with their young children. One exception
to this is probably the few hours on Shabbos morning when
davening in shul. This is where Rachel, Aliza and Talia Sperber

come in. Some of theMfirrs.t &meMmorrsie. sEaxnadmpopsilteive associations our

children have with our shul is their time spent in groups on
Shabbos. For so many years, our youth have been taught,
entertained, and inspired by the endless energy, enthusiasm and
leadership of Rachel, Aliza and Talia. Our children today
understand what it means to be part of a shul and to give back to
the youth of our shul because of these amazing women. We are so
proud to present the Eitan Shapiro Youth Leadership award to
Rachel, Aliza and Talia Sperber and thank them for keeping our
kids out of trouble, and for giving our children a Shabbos and shul

experience that they will use as a foundation for the rest of their
lives.

I thank all those who support our shul and who have come out to

celebrate with us. I wish everyone an entertaining, fun, and

enjoyable evening. In honor of

Men’s Club Message

On behalf of all of the wonderful volunteers of your Men’s Club, I have the

privilege of writing this year’s message. I’ll keep it short and sweet. The

Men’s club has so much to thank each of this year’s honorees for. Without

the Vogels, we wouldn't have aInshhuol.nNoorsohful - no Men’s Club. Without

the Richters, we would be missing a vital member and volunteer of our

Men’s Club who helps usMwre.e&klyMwirtsh.kHiddounshoimre, aes well as at our special

minyamin. Rachel, Aliza anTd hTaelyiaa- ryeouaamreaszoinlugcky to have parents who

lead by example, and it is amazing, even at your young age, that you are

following in their footsteps. Maybe when your father retires from being

the Men’s Club treasurer, you can take over. I am sure we can work out a
Mr. & Mrs. Example
rotation.

For everyone else, please follow the example of these tremendous

honorees and volunteer! Our shul is rich with opportunity and we need

YOU. Please reach out to me or any Men’s Club member or shul officer

and let us know what talents you can share. Our shul is only as great as it

is due to our volunteers. Mazal tov again to our whole kehilla.

Sisterhood Message

How timely and appropriate that this year’s dinner falls between the

parshiot of V’Yakehl and Pekudei. The root words of V’Yakhel and

Pekudei are Kahal and Pakad, respectively. Kahal represents

community and Pakad represents the individual. In order to be

successful as a community you need both. A minyan requires 10

individual men. Each one is coIunnhteodnaosraoufnique person, but collectively

Rabbi Sam
and Lorraine

Vogel

Guests of
Honor In honor of

Mr. & Mrs. Honoree

Lorraine and Rabbi Sam Vogel’s stories both begin on New York’s Lower East

They are amazing

Side, but it is there that the initial similarities end. Sam is the son of immigrant
parents, and his path includes Yeshiva Rabbi Shlomo Kluger, MTA, Yeshiva
University, and Semichah from RIETS. Lorraine is a second-generation

American, and her road pMassre.d&thrMougrhst.heEDxoawmntopwlneTalmud Torah, a

recurring television appearance on “The Fourth R,” Tranquility Summer Camp,
Seward Park High School, and City College. But Hashem brought them
together--according to legend, through a traffic ticket and a judge seeking
re-election--and the rest, as they say, is history.

Our honorees’ married life began in the Bronx, where they welcomed
their eldest daughter Sharona. In 1966, Sam and Lorraine moved to Teaneck,
attracted by the trees and life away, but not too far, from the city.

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

Here, the Vogel family grew with the addition of children Rachelle, Yonina, Avi,
Chanan, and Chava, and later, children-by-marriage Shlomo, Chaim, Danny,
Aviva, Amy, and Yoni, as well as dozens of grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, kain yirbu.

The Vogels were family #70 in Teaneck’s fledgling Jewish community and it

didn’t take long for them to makeItnhehiromnaorkr. oWfithin the first week of moving to
their new apartment in WeMstgra.t&e, SMamrsst.aHrteodnaoFrriedeay night minyan. More than
half a century later, a successTohr teoythaartemainmyaanzisinstgill going strong in its current

location.

By profession, Sam and Lorraine are teachers. For Sam, this meant a career

teaching math at GeorgeMWras.h&ingMtonrHsig. hESxchaomol inpWleashington Heights, with

afternoons at Frisch and at TABC, where he was the founding secular studies
principal. For Lorraine, teaching--in between children-- included Hebrew school
in Tenafly and special education and math at GW High School.

For many, the Vogel name is synonymous with Ma-Tov Day Camp, where
hundreds, if not thousands, of children experienced summers filled with Torah,
sports, and numerous other activities. While Ma-Tov closed its doors eight years

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

ago, after 27 seasons, the camp’s influence can be measured by the frequency
with which Sam and Lorraine’s children and grandchildren meet camp alumni
and former staff, each with a wonderful story or special memory to share
connecting them to this extraordinary couple.

The Vogels’ connection to Beth Aaron dates back to its beginning as early

members of the shul. Initially, it wIanshdaoungohtrerosfSharona and Rachelle that
brought the family to BethMAarr.on&wMhernst.hHeyobengoanreweorking there as youth
group leaders in 1977. SamTsehrveeydaasrepraesmidaenztinfrgom 1979 – 1981, but is best

known as a gifted baal tefilla, a talented athlete in the Beth Aaron Softball
League and the original Candy Man. Among the numerous committees and
initiatives that Sam and Lorraine were involved in over the years were,

decorating the shul for SMhavru.ot&, leMadinrgst.heEsxinagimng ponleSimchat Torah and

making dozens of peanut butter sandwiches for the children’s lunch on Yom
Kippur. They could always be counted on for having great costumes for the shul
Purim parties – who can forget the year they came as Bigsan and Seresh-and
being involved in all of the fun!

When it comes to chesed and serving the community, Sam and Lorraine are role
models for us all. Over the years, they have been involved in numerous
communal organizations from shuls to yeshivas, to the mikvah and, most

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

recently, Lorraine’s involvement with Shearit HaPlate. Everything is done
quietly, humbly and with respect for those they have the privilege of helping.

While the Vogel children have dispersed throughout Teaneck and beyond,
daughter, Rachelle, and son-in-law, Chaim, remain active pillars of our shul to
this day. And, wherever they live, Sam and Lorraine’s children and adult

grandchildren follow their lead byInbehinognleoardeorfs in their respective communities.
Mr. & Mrs. Honoree

Sam and Lorraine’s 41+ yearTs ihnveoylvaedreinaBmetahzAianrogn have been a wonderful

adventure. They raised a beautiful family, helped build a thriving community,
shared myriads of chagim and smachot with friends, and made special memories
for all the lives they touched. May Hashem grant them many more years of good

health to enjoy nachas frMomra.ll &theMir erffsor.tsEoxnabemhaplf olef Beth Aaron and the

One weekend, they were away and when they returned home, there were a
bunch of messages on their answering machine from different people telling
them to look at a house on Merrison Street. So, it was Hashgacha Pratit that
they were destined to be in this house. Their good neighbor, Shelly Leffel A"H,
took them into the house before it was listed. They joined Beth Aaron because
they had some friends there and now the best new neighbors, the Leffels, and it
all worked out well.

Elissa is a warm and nurturing preschool teacher currently at Yeshivat Noam.

She has worked, as well, at Yavneh Academy and other Pre-K programs in

Bergen County prior to that. Her beautiful smile and lively personality make her

a much loved morah. She even worked for the Vogels for many years directing

the staff daycare program at Ma-Tov! Elissa has been a willing participant in

Joel's Beth Aaron activities, as she has allowed him to volunteer his time all

Mr. & Mrs. Honoree

Joel has served the shul in maTnhyecaypaacrietieasmovaezr itnhegyears. He has been a board

member for about 20 years. He has been a Gabbai at the main Shabbat Minyan

for approximately 10 years and has also been a Gabbai at the early morning

weekday Shacharit Minyan for at least as long. Joel has also served as the shul’s

rental coordinator and isManra.ct&iveMmermsb.erEoxf tahme Mpenle's Club and Seudah

Shlishit Committee. In addition, Joel takes care of the monthly printed calendar

and has been doing so for over 20 years.

Joel and Elissa agreed to accept the Shelly Leffel Service Award because they
knew that it was the right thing to do; not for the honor's sake, but as another
opportunity to help the congregation that they love. Having given to Beth Aaron
for decades, it was important at this time to accept Hakarat HaTov from the shul
(and because the Rabbi told them to accept it!)

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

Joel and Elissa have three children. Ari, the oldest, is an IT network engineer

who works for Garb Consulting Group. Eitan, is currently learning in yeshiva in

Israel and hopes to make Aliyah. Ayelet, the youngest, has just started attending

Stern College after a year and a half learning in Israel in Tiferet. Their children

have all grown up in Beth Aaron. When they were younger, Ari, Eitan, and Ayelet

attended the Parent-Child Learning and enjoyed Chaim Sussman’s weekly pizza

and learning on Thursday nights. IAnrihanodnEoitranohfave attended the Shabbat Youth
Minyan and have also voluMntere.re&d Mtherirst.imHeoinnhoerlpeineg to set up for Seudah

behind it. They have enjoMyedrb. e&ingMparrtso.f aEnxdacomntrpiblueting to the Beth Aaron

The Sperber girls truly grew up in Congregation Beth Aaron. They came to shul

sitting downstairs on their mother’s lap along with the other babies and toddlers

on Shabbos morning. WhMenro.ld&enMougrhs, t.heEyxwaemnt tpo plearticipate in Shabbos

groups and shul group activities. One of their favorite activities was the Succah

hop that their Mom helped create. The girls helped her think of creative themes,

as well.

Soon they each grew up into young teens and became group leaders. They really
got a kick out of watching the little kids in groups. Still, to this day, they love it
when the Rabbi comes to groups. Tali is still a loyal group leader. She even wakes
up early to watch the children who come in early!

Congregation Beth Aaron
43rd Annual Journal Dinner

As they became older, they helped their parents with various shul activities,
from helping cook chesed meals, packing Mishloach Manot, to helping with
larger events like the Shabbat Project Dinner. Often, you could find them after
davening, standing next to their Dad while he dished out kiddush food with a
smile. They love to help their Mom cook shabbos meals for their shabbos guests.

Aliza, Rachel and Talia are all gradIunahteos nofoYresohfivat Noam. Aliza and Rachel are

studying psychology at SterTn ahnedywaarnets atomgoaztoinLagw School. Aliza is studying

engineering at Rutgers. .

Being part of Beth Aaron has helped nurture their love of the land of Israel and

has encouraged them toMparrti.ci&patMe inrvsar. ioEuxs achmesepdlaectivities as part of the

larger Jewish community. Rachel and Aliza both volunteered with the
Friendship Circle. Rachel worked at the Jewish Youth Encounter Program,
helping Jewish kids with little background learn Hebrew and parsha. Tali
coached little kids for the Teaneck Youth Soccer League. Rachel went to
Szarvas, a camp in Hungary that helps kids from all around the world with little
or no Jewish background, learn about their Jewish roots. Last summer, Rachel
interned with the Honorable Judge Ruchie Freier. She helped Jewish women
suffering from domestic violence. Aliza is a very active participant in the

Rutgers’ Hillel and Chabad. She has been seen rolling out challah dough, playing
games and just enjoying being with other Jewish college students! Tali is
enrolled in the art track and is a member of the JV soccer team at Frisch.

All three Sperber girls report that being part of the Beth Aaron community
helped them develop into compassionate teens and young adults. “Rabbi and

Chaviva Rothwachs are amazing Irnolehmoondoerls ofofr each of us. And of course, what
can we say about our MomManrd. D&adManrds.grHanodnpaorreentes?”
