Building community and bettering the future, one child at a time

Our Annual Event is a wonderful celebration of SHAS, 

our community, and our honorees.  

Our 2023-2024 Annual Event will be held on Saturday evening, February 10th, at 7:30 PM. 

Our Main Honorees

Jodi Hoffman & Amir Karger

 

We are extremely proud to recognize Jodi Hoffman and Amir Karger as this year's main Annual Event honorees. Between the two of them, they have done everything!

Jodi was a member of SHAS board for 13 years, serving as PTO Chair; Member of the Admissions and Recruitment Committee; Member of the Finance Committee; Member of the Maimonides/SHAS Collaboration Committee; Secretary; Vice President; Development Chair; Co-President; and President. As if that wasn’t enough, Jodi wrote thank you notes to donors for many years. A proudly self-proclaimed “pushy parent,'' she was the Room Parent during her childrens’ time at SHAS, and she helped develop early drop-off and late-stay. While President during COVID, Jodi facilitated a huge ventilation project. Although no longer officially on the board, Jodi continues to help with development at SHAS. A consistent staunch supporter of the school, Jodi attended SHAS graduations long after her children graduated from SHAS.

Much like Jodi, Amir has also been very involved with SHAS in many ways. He worked on the school’s website and participated in the search for a Head of School in 2011. He served as a member of the Nominating Committee, the Strategic Planning Committee, and the Head of School Support and Evaluation Committee. In addition, Amir has been a “Shlepper” at SHAS events since 2006. 

Jodi and Amir's children, Deena (SHAS ‘15) and Noam (SHAS ‘13) are following in their parents' footsteps by being active participants in the community. Deena substituted throughout COVID and college, and she has done the photo montages over the years. Noam has helped out and has been a Shlepper many times as well.

R. William Striar Service Award Recipient

Daniel Rosen

 

We are pleased to celebrate Daniel Rosen as this year's R. William Striar Service Award recipient. Daniel serves on the SHAS board and has helped with building issues and maintenance in conjunction with Young Israel. Projects have included getting the driveways and doors replaced, and the building inspected.

When you first meet Daniel, you are struck by his incredible warmth, sincerity and sensitivity. In addition to being an integral member of the SHAS board, Daniel has done innumerable acts of kindness within our community - from donating his kidney to a Young Israel member, to stopping to say hi to someone who came to cheer him on while running a marathon, to shaking hands with the gravedigger at his mother's funeral, his kindness knows no bounds. He hosts a weekly Friday night minyan, which is the highlight of the week for many community members. Daniel is a loving, devoted and caring father, and the biggest hearted person in town. 

Rising Young Leader Award Recipients 

Elana and Moshe Zisblatt

 

We are thrilled to honor Elana and Moshe with the Rising Young Leader Award. The Zisblatts are always quick to volunteer for our community. They often help plan events both big and small for SHAS, from PTO teacher appreciation events to last year’s annual event. When planning the event, Elana had so many creative ideas and took the initiative to help make it a success. Elana and Moshe are kind, reliable people to call on whenever needed, even if it is to assist with day-to-day seemingly small needs - their willingness to help and be there for their fellow community members goes a long way and is much appreciated. 

They are proud SHAS parents - Yakira is in 2nd grade, and Yoni is in Perakhim.
