Light at the Museum touted as a Great Success!

The evening began with ethereal music by Doug Tessler and Simm Gottesman as our guests arrived. They then mounted the escalator and were welcomed by committee members and a well-stocked bar and bountiful buffet, impeccably catered by Lenore Nolan Ryan. We danced and partied to the tunes of Amereida: George Guzman & Stephanie Mair. We ate, danced and thoroughly enjoyed "getting to know" Jeff Garlin of Curb Your Enthusiasm fame. And, we got to celebrate the birthday of our beloved Rabbi Marc. What could be better!

Couldn’t attend but would like to donate? With your donation, receive link to watch the event, including Jeff Garlin’s interview. Click Here.

ENORMOUS THANKS to our team:

David Hall co-chair stunned us all by getting Jeff Garlin to appear, in addition to all his hard work on every detail.

Claudia Gill gave of herself tirelessly and was a role model of commitment.

Maxine Kamin & Sherry Stern spearheaded our calling efforts and we thank them for all their hard work.

Alla Esther Levy (our roving reporter) and Tom Patullo gave their all, and extra cudos to our callers, Shashawna Foland, Judi Robaina, and to all those who helped us with set up and cleanup.

Of course, we could not have done it without our administrative staff, Renee Greene, Johana Calderon and Scott Kustan. For a complete list of sponsors & volunteers, click here.

A Challah-Out from Rifka Maidan

"I am sending a shout out to all my amazing loving friends who so generously gifted me with a leaf for my birthday. The leaf means so much to me but your friendship means even more. My 20 years with TAO has impacted my life in more ways than I even know. Being in community with you all gives me strength, connection and love beyond measure. My Rabbi's, the Labowitz family and my TAO family Inspire me each and every day. All my love to you all and thank you."
