Fair Lawn—Two couples will be the recipients of first-time awards at the 32nd annual Journal Dinner of the Ahavat Achim Orthodox Congregation of Fair Lawn March 1.

Sheree and Hazkiel Kor will receive the Ahavat Achim Community Service Award and Arielle and Jonathan Schachter will receive the Ahavat Achim Young Leadership Award. “Thank you for being exemplary representatives of Ahavat Achim, the Fair Lawn Jewish community and Klal Yisrael,” Steve Winchester, the shul’s president, told the Kors and the Schachters.

Hazkiel and Sheree joined Ahavat Achim when they moved to Fair Lawn in 1990. Hazkiel joined the board as House Committee Chairman in 2002, a position he still holds, and served as Vice-President from 2009 to 2012.

She regularly contributes her time to after school programs, providing additional learning opportunities for underprivileged children in the Bronx. Hazkiel and Sheree are the parents of Aaron and Leora, Rachel and Yoni, and David.

Jonathan and Arielle joined Ahavat Achim when they moved to Fair Lawn in 2004. Within a year Jonathan joined the board as Men’s Club president and has been on the board almost every year since, including time as Corresponding Secretary. He founded Cub Scout Pack 613 and has been Cub Master since its creation in January of 2010. Jonathan has worked at Bloomberg LP since 2000 as a programmer and manager.
