Celebration 2011 HonoreesHonoring Menorah Manor’s Founding Board of Governors and our first president,Irwin Miller“Love has a way of expressing itself and that has always been preeminent atMenorah Manor.”Irwin Miller, of blessed memory“Everyone hopes to have people touch them and inspire them to do great things. Irwin wasour guiding light. He taught us that if you value family and friends and help build ourcommunity, that’s all you really need. Together with the other founders, his dream of ahome for the Jewish elderly inspired him to build Menorah Manor into the institution itis today by planning, raising funds and literally helping to build the nursing center fromthe ground up.We’re sure he’s smiling down on Menorah Manor with pride as we celebrate 25 years.”Sonya Miller“Irwin, a brilliantman with a hugeheart, was devotedto the cause ofcommunity peaceand progress. As mypartner, my mentorand my inspirationfor twenty-one years, I learned that Irwin was “alwaysright.” I still feel that way; in spirit I still see him walkinginto the office and I ask myself, “What would Irwin do?”Marshall Seiden“I think of a conversation that Irwin and I had, that wewere going to build this nursing home. What do we knowabout a nursing home? We concluded that we knew littleor nothing. Thank G-d we didn’t have enough informationto know why we shouldn’t do it, so we did it.”Ted Wittner, of blessed memory4
