to USY- Chazak
Chazak USY,
This will be my last email to you all, and I just wanted to thank the Chazak Division for an amazing year in USY.
The following is from Chazak Divisional Director, Edward Ward.
Joel Goldman
Chazak Comm VP 2007-2008
"It has been a long, emotional and fulfilling weekend at our annual regional convention.
Let me congratulate our 2008-2009 Chazak Divisional Board
President - Elan Cooperman, Temple Beth Sholom, Roslyn Heights
Israel Affairs VP - Joshua Snider, Shelter Rock Jewish Center
Religious Education VP - Gabriela Geselowitz, Hewlett East Rockaway JC
SATO VP - Shaina Stern, Shelter Rock Jewish Center
Mem/Kad VP - Rebecca Silverman, Temple Beth Sholom, Roslyn Heights
Communications VP - Andrew Cohen, Shelter Rock Jewish Center
Let me also express my deepest thanks to our 2007-2008 Board
President - Aimee Steinmetz
IA VP - Elan Cooperman
Rel/Ed - Ben Guzik (2008-2009 Metny Regional Rel/Ed VP)
SAT0 - Melissa Katz
Mem/Kad - Chantal Ghalchi (2008-2009 Metny Regional Mem/Kad)
Communications VP - Joel Goldman
I also want to congratulate Andrea Moskowitz and Todd Hausman on receiving well-deserved gifts for their long and outstanding service to the Chazak Division.
Mazal Tov to our Chazak USYers of the year: Risa Schoenfeld from Merrick JC and Zach Harmin from CBE, Massapequa.
Kol Hakavod to Shelter Rock Jewish Center on being named "Chazak USY Chapter of the Year." Special words of thanks to Lois Lange, who will be leaving Shelter Rock at the end of this year. It has been through Lois's hard work and commitment that Shelter Rock is where it is today. Chazak will Miss you!
Lastly, in my remarks to the division today I shared that this coming 2008-2009 year will be my final year as Chazak Divisional Director. As I said in my speech, my desire to serve my synagogue and the conservative movement in a lay leadership role combined with my new job and wanting to spend more time with my family has led me to this decision. I felt it was important to tell not only the USYers today but also you sooner rather than later to show my commitment to Chazak. I intend to be actively involved in the selection of my successor with the hope that he/she will be in place by mid-year and can begin to be integrated into the role.
Leaving Chazak will be bittersweet. Knowing that in 12 months my tenure will be over is tough - but knowing how amazing this coming year will be excites not only me but the Chazak Board as well. I hope you will be just as excited for the year ahead."
