B"H
We heartily concur with Mount Sinai Jewish Center in honoring

two of our most beloved family members,

Vera and Milty Hamburger,

as recipients of the distinguished service award.
It is a Mitzvah to visit the sick; to
comfort the mourner; to escort the
deceased; to host guests... These are the
personal acts of kindness that are meant
when the Torah says, "And you shall
love your fellow as yourself"...
Maimonides

For a couple that never shies away from virtuous deeds,
community, or, Jewish works projects, this is truly a most
deserving evening to celebrate in your honor. Were it not for
anonymity, your individual acts of Chesed would be too
numerous to enumerate, each carried out in the respectful

manner the situation calls for.
May Hashem, in his infinite wisdom, bless you and your children
with long life, good health, and much happiness so that they may

follow in your very distinguished footsteps.
Lovingly,

Norma & Steven Hamburger
& Families

R. Elazar said in the name of R. Chanina: Torah scholars increase

Thank you for creating a space for our children to feel
comfortable and welcome; where they can develop themselves as
B'nei and B'not Torah - to be builders of peace, of Torah and

Yoni - Your thoughtful leadership has been a model for an entire

generation of Mount Sinai leaders. Your yashrut and sincerity are
genuine and inspiring. You have taught us how to be responsible
stewards of this shul. Even though you’re leaving the board, your
presence and legacy will be felt in the room. It’s been an incredible

honor to serve with you.

Shuli & Ari - Your genuine compassion and empathy for those in

need is a mirror of the depth of your love for all Jews. By helping those
most vulnerable, you have upheld our community's core value of

ahavat yisrael. You are truly mitalmidav shel Aharon haKohen. Your
friendship is a great bonus, too!

Keren - Your unparalleled dedication to this community and attention

to every individual's need is a model we all strive to emulate. You have
set a standard for us that will not be easy to meet. We are amazed by
your ability to greet every new face bsever panim yafot. You are an

amazing ambassador for this community.

Vera & Milton - Your example of chessed is legendary and seemingly

boundless. Any one of your many achievements would be reason
enough for this honor, let alone all of them. The entire Washington
Heights community is blessed to have you, and we are humbled by

your model of understated leadership.

Jessica - You have shown an incredible innate understanding of what

it means to be a leader. Your willingness to dedicate immense time and
effort to lead such important programs speaks to your character and
sense of responsibility. We all look forward to watching you grow as a
leader and accomplish many more amazing things.
