Wow! JCC Rockland extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our out-of-this-world Founders Celebration, honoring David Kirschtel’s 25 years of visionary leadership.

We shared some big news: 31 Memory Lane Sponsors each contributed $25,000 to help eliminate our bank debt – a truly transformative milestone! And that’s not all, our 37th commemorative journal raised a record-breaking $460,000s, bringing the total for the evening to over $1.2 million. As Barry Kantrowitz said, “That’s not just impressive – it’s a testament to the strength of this community and the impact of David’s leadership.”

A special todah rabah (thank you) to our incredible vendors who brought this celebration to life: Crowne Plaza Mahwah-Suffern, Nyack Seaport Catering, Incidental Contact Band, Balloon Artistry, Proforma K Print Solutions, and George Pejoves Photography.

To those who couldn’t attend, we felt your presence in spirit. We invite you to take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy the beautiful photos, videos, and online journal that captured the magic of the evening.

David closed his speech just as he opened it: “Hakol Efshari – Everything Is Possible.” With your continued support, we will secure our future together. If all we had was each other, and this shared dream for tomorrow, it would have been enough – Dayenu.
