Rabbi Justin Wexler was recognized as the immediate past director after serving for four years. Leah Mizrahi of Teaneck was celebrated as an active participant who often brings her mother Mira to events with her. Dr. Richard Seaman, who lives in New York City, was honored for his contributions as an a cappella singer for the JLE at numerous events in Teaneck. Dr. Seaman also sang his hit “Mechitza in the Middle” at the dinner.
