(Courtesy of Yeshivat Noam) The Yeshivat Noam Annual Dinner hosted a packed house with over 700 guests to celebrate the school and raise essential funds for Jewish education. The event opened with welcoming remarks by Co-President of the Board of Trustees Binyamin Rieder, who then shared the podium with Co-President Shai Gerson, who led the guests in Tehillim for Israel. The dinner continued with a beautiful tribute to each of the honorees: Elana Kessler, Bonei Noam Award; Dr. Miryam Benovitz, Faculty Recognition Award; Iris and Elie Borger and Bena and David Schwartz, Guests of Honor. The dinner continued with a meaningful video about Jewish pride and love of Israel written by Shira Forman and Dina Gielchinsky.
