During this joyous celebration, leaders of the Michael-Ann Russell JCC will be recognized for their contributions to improving the lives of the Jewish community in south Florida. The honorees are: Gary Bomzer, who serves as the president and CEO of this wonderful organization; Paul Kruss, who serves as the chair of the board of directors; and Ariel Bentata and Jeffrey Scheck, who were past chairs.

I am thankful to witness the growth of the Jewish American community in our area as its members continue to strive for a better and more prosperous tomorrow. Mazel tov to the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center on a job well done. ____________________
