Chana & Sherwin Lovi 

ALUMNI HONOREES 

The Jewish Heritage Center is proud to honor Chana and Sherwin Lovi, representing 

the most recent decade of JHC alumni. 

Sherwin was born in Queens, New York and grew up in Roslyn Heights. A graduate of 

the Wheatley School and Chabad of Roslyn, Sherwin later earned a BA in Business, 

and he serves as the Chief Executive Officer of a family uniform company. In his spare 

time, Sherwin enjoys learning, walking, and reading. 

Sherwin’s wife Chana was born in Poland. Her family moved to the United States when 

she was young, and she grew up in Massapequa, New York. Chana earned a degree in 

business, but her current profession is full-time Imma to their children Moshe, Daniel, 

Sarah, and David Yisrael. Chana’s passions include her children, shiurim, walking, and 

growing in her knowledge and observance of halacha. 

Chana and Sherwin currently live in Great Neck, New York, where they are members 

of Kollel Ohr Haemet. Previously they lived in Queens, where they became involved 

with the Jewish Heritage Center. Chana came to the JHC first and then introduced the 

JHC family to Sherwin. Both Sherwin and Chana displayed a passionate dedication to 

Torah learning. Chana virtually never missed a class. If she couldn’t find a babysitter 

for her young son Moshe, she would bring him along to color in the back of the room 

so she could learn. Sherwin would attend Rabbi Turk’s gemara shiur after a long and 

tiring day at work. They also participated in the Jewish Heritage Center’s Yom Tov 

retreats, and spent many Shabbosim at the Turk home, and with other local families. 

Sherwin and Chana have continued their learning and growth in their new home in 

Great Neck. Sherwin has been a part of a local daf yomi shiur for many years, and he 

celebrated a siyum hashas with his shiur. 

The Lovis credit the JHC with helping them to recognize the value of every Jew, to know 

that each one of us can make a difference, and that we are all part of one Am Yisrael. 

Sherwin and Chana aim to continue their connection to the Jewish Heritage Center 

and help the JHC in its mission to bring each member of Klal Yisroel back to the Torah. 







Michelle & Yosef Mendelson 


Michelle and Yosef Mendelson, Jewish Heritage Center Alumni Honorees, are a shining example 

of a couple who began their relationship with the JHC over 20 years ago, and now strive to be a 

part of the mission of the JHC to show other Jews the beauty and satisfaction of coming closer to 

our mesorah. 

Both Michelle and Yosef were born in Queens, New York. Yosef grew up in Argentina and then 

returned to New York. He earned a BA from the University of Stony Brook, and is now the owner 

of a security surveillance company. Michelle grew up in Jericho, Long Island. She earned a BA 

from the College of Oswego and an MSW from NYU School of Social Work. Michelle now works 

as a social worker, and as a partner in her husband’s business. They are currently residents of 

Passaic, New Jersey and the proud parents of Sara Chaya, Menashe, Ephraim, Tziporah Dina, and 

Yehuda. While it would seem that Michelle is busy enough with work and family, she also manages 

to find time to give Kallah classes in her community. 

When Michelle was living in Long Island, and later when she moved to Queens, she attended 

classes at the Jewish Heritage Center given by Rabbi Portnoy, Rabbi Turk, Rabbi Schwartz A’H, 

and many others. She would meet with the Rabbis to discuss the struggles she experiencing as 

she changed her lifestyle and increased her Torah observance. She was open to learn how to best 

relate to her non-religious friends and family, receive responses to her halacha questions, and get 

support and direction in the areas that she needed. From the beginning of her decision to become 

observant, Michelle utilized the many opportunities offered at the JHC, and met many new friends 

and families associated with the Center who offered her invitations for Shabbos and Yom Tov. 

As a couple, Michelle and Yosef attended some of the JHC’s Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur 

retreats, and enjoyed the Alumni Shabbatons. When Michelle married Yosef, and as they built 

their beautiful family together and moved through various stages in life, the friends and families 

they met through the Center continued to serve as role models and sources of inspiration for the 

Mendelsons. Yosef and Michelle feel that the JHC Rabbis have continued to be there for them, 

guiding them and their children as they strive to live their lives in accordance with the true values 

of Torah. 

Michelle and Yosef are very grateful for the central role that the JHC played in Michelle’s journey 

to Torah Judaism, affording her with a solid understanding and connection to observing a 

committed religious life. Not ones to just focus on themselves, the Mendelson’s goal as a couple is 

to spread the Torah that they have learned, and have an impact on others who are exploring their 

Jewish heritage. 







Karen & Nat Solomon 


Karen and Nat Solomon are close friends of the Jewish Heritage Center, and a couple that the JHC 

is proud to present tonight as very deserving alumni honorees. 

Nat Solomon, a native of Queens, attended the local Yeshiva of Central Queens, Yeshiva University 

High School, and Queens College. He earned a BA in Art and Masters of Science in Education. 

Nat enjoys his work as an art teacher in the public school system, as well as a chess teacher at 

Yeshiva Ketana of Queens and Hillel Day Camp. Nat’s interests include sports, science fiction, 

and chess. 

Karen Padawer Solomon grew up in Wantagh, New York. She attended SUNY Stonybrook, SUNY 

Albany, and Fordham University, earning a BS in Business Administration and MBA in Marketing. 

Karen works in management consulting, but never one to sit still, her varied hobbies and interests 

include raising her family, gardening, bicycling, walking/hiking the Green Mountains of Vermont, 

being innovative, and downsizing. 

Karen came to the Jewish Heritage Center in its early days, displaying an incredible enthusiasm 

and passion for a deeper connection to Judaism. Her excitement was infectious, and she helped 

to create a solid foundation of growth in the “first generation” of the JHC students. The JHC and 

the extended Chofetz Chaim community in Queens were pivotal to Karen’s religious growth and 

her commitment to lead a Torah life. A year after Karen became a Torah observant, she met Nat. 

As their wedding bencher says, nine nine ninety at noon with Nat… was the beginning of their 

journey to build a Jewish home together. Over the years, the Solomons forged deep and lasting 

relationships with many of the JHC Rabbis, instructors, and their families- the Turks, Portnoys, 

Singers, Winders, Schwartzes, and more. Nat volunteered to teach Hebrew reading crash courses 

for beginners at the Jewish Heritage Center for several years, where he introduced many classes of 

adults to the excitement of reading Hebrew for the first time. Nat was fondly dubbed the Chairman 

of the JHC’s Hebrew Department. 

The Solomons are currently beloved members of the Young Israel of West Hempstead, and 

Congregation Zichron Kidoshim, where Nat serves as the Gabbai. Karen and Nat are also the 

proud and devoted parents of two wonderful and talented young adults, Karla May and Gabriel 

Philip. They look forward to increasing their growth in Mitzvos and Torah study as a family, and 

continuing to enjoy their strong bond with many in the JHC community; “those who host, those 

who befriend, friendships that sustain, simchot that we share, values that we live by and treasure, 

households and families that we have been blessed to have in our lives…”

Message from the Directors 


& Rabbi Moshe Turk 

Dear Friends, 

This Dinner is our most important fundraising event of the year. With your direct participation here tonight 

you have greatly helped make this evening a success. For this, and for your generous statement of support and 

encouragement, we are truly grateful. 

Tonight is a very special night. Tonight we celebrate three decades of the Jewish Heritage Center – three 

decades of incredible Torah learning and life-changing growth. It is an incredible honor to pay tribute to 

three decades of Center alumni; spiritual heroes who continue to inspire us all by their example. We are also 

expressing our profound gratitude to countless members of the community who gave so much of themselves 

in so many different ways to help our students grow and take their places in our Torah communities. We are 

recognizing the critical role they played in the lives of Center students and in all the Center has achieved 

these 30 years. 

We are immensely grateful to the Instructors who accepted tonight’s Hakaras Hatov Awards, Rabbi Dr. Robert 

Bergida, Rabbi Chaim Chait, Rabbi Eliezer Szrolovits and Rabbi Yehuda Winder and to our Alumni Honorees, 

Chana & Sherwin Lovi, Michelle & Yosef Mendelson, and Karen & Nat Solomon. To all of these 

dear friends and most worthy Awardees, we extend our deepest appreciation for partnering with us to help ensure 

the financial success of this event. 

This is a challenging time financially for the Center due, more than anything else to the incredible expansion 

and growth we continue to be experiencing. We have never been as busy as now with six divisions operating 

around the clock initiating exciting and innovative programs in both Outreach and Inreach. We are seeing 

much siyata d’shmaya, Divine blessing, and for this we have an entire team of dedicated and tireless staff, both 

Rabbinic and administrative to thank. We also are deeply indebted to all of you. Without your encouragement 

and continued generosity, we could not continue to undertake the challenge of bringing so many of Hashem’s 

children (from both secular and religious backgrounds) back to the fold. Thank you again for your participation 

this evening and in the merit of our partnership in this effort, may Hashem bless you and yours with an 

abundance of good health, happiness and success. 

Warmly, 






Message from the Associate Directors 

Rabbi Avraham Portnoy 

& Rabbi Eliyahu Turk 

When G-d asked the Jews if they want the Torah, they famously answered Naaseh 

Vnishma- We will do and we will listen. Our Rabbis point out that they didn’t 

individually answer and say I will do and I will listen, rather they said “we”. The 

entire Jewish nation accepted the responsibility of keeping the Torah not only for 

themselves but for the rest of their Jewish brothers and sisters. By saying “We 

will do and We will listen” the Dor Hamidbar demonstrated their keen understanding 

of the importance and relevance of arvus. The B’nei Yisroel strive as 

a unit, it is not enough to be satisfied with our own achievements and growth, 

and appreciation of our Heritage. As was proclaimed at Har Sina over 3000 years 

ago, we have as much of a responsibility to our brothers and sisters as that to 

ourselves. We are proud to say that here at the Jewish Heritage Center the stark 

importance of this lesson has been front and foremost for the past 30 years, and 

continues to be the ideal that drives us forward in all our divisions- all focused 

on fulfilling our obligation of Arvus through spreading the beauty of the Torah. 

All of our honorees have exemplified this concept of arvus and for this are most 

derserving of honor tonight. Most importantly, each and every one of you too has 

demonstrated the centrality of this responsibility by participating in this dinner. 

Thank you so much! 

Warmly, 

Avraham Portnoy 

Eliyahu Turk 




Message from the the Administrator 

Rabbi Shai Rosenthal 

I want to use this opportunity to say thank you. 

Thank you to the JHC for enabling me to have another 

amazing year as administrator. It has been a privilege to be 

involved with an organization that does so much for klal yisroel without drawing 

attention to themselves. They have touched the lives of so many and yet remain 

fairly unknown to the average person. I continue to gain so much knowledge 

and experience by working under the guidance of Rabbi Turk and Rabbi Portnoy 

and under Rabbi A. Portnoy and Rabbi E. Turk. As my responsibilities increase I 

continuously see how privileged I am to have four bosses. Thank you for trusting 

me with this position. 

Thank you to the rest of the JHC staff that works tirelessly in both Inreach and 

Outreach. Special thank you to our administrative assistant Mrs. Sandra Brown; 

you are the glue that keeps everything in the organization running smoothly. 

Thank you to our esteemed Honorees for allowing us to celebrate this 30 year 

milestone with your help. Thank you to all our guests and donors who have made 

this dinner a tremendous success. May hashem grant all of you much success in 

the merit of the devotion you have shown for his children by joining us tonight. 

Finally, thank you to my eishes chayil for her dedication and devotion to my work 

at the JHC. It has been another busy year at the JHC and in our personal lives 

living in East Meadow. You have an equal share in the work I do, and I am privileged 

to have you as my partner. It is my ברכה that we should be able to share this 

job for many more years to come.

Message from the Chasidic Division 


Sunday 4 Tamuz 5778 

Baruch HaShem another year has passed and very quickly. I 

can not believe I have been working with the JHC for 4 years 

now, going into the 5th. This has been quite a journey. 

As I am writing this, I am on the way back from a beautiful shabbaton with some of 

our new generation members. I am overwhelmed with emotions for two reasons. First, 

I am so inspired for the work that has already been done. Secondly, I am aware of how 

much work still needs to be done. 

I have tremendous appreciation that I’m working with such brilliant individuals with 

amazing worlds of Chesed and dedication to the fullest. I’m so excited to be part of 

this beautiful organization. 

Our accomplishments this year at 1225 have Baruch HaShem been inspiring. We’re 

seeing the fruits of our labor. One always thinks and imagines what his work will 

accomplish. We are actually seeing the growth of our work this past year. Students got 

married, students graduated to college, headed to Yeshiva, earned their GED through 

our English program and with a beautiful view for the future. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the honorees for taking the time 

and joining us to make this organization greater. I would like to congratulate the 

alumni for years of excellence and for creating promising futures for themselves and 

their families. And most of all, I would like to congratulate my colleagues and the 

directors and staff of the Jewish Heritage Center for 30 years of excellence and for all 

the hard work that they have put into so many people individually and for their great 

accomplishments. May we share many more years together with Simcha and Nachas.

Message from the Long Island Division 


Thank you for showing your support for this amazing 

organization allowing it to continue the remarkable 

work it does. We’ve accomplished so much, but there 

is still so much to do. LI is an endangered community. 

Although we have thousands of our brothers and sisters there, if nature is to 

take its course LI will be nearly “Jew free” before we know it. This is a sad 

reality but makes our responsibility so much stronger. We’re dealing with so 

many wonderful people, with such beautiful hearts that with a little direction 

and encouragement we can see a LI which is on its way towards assimilation 

and intermarriage turn around to be a vibrant, loving Jewish community. 

Thank G-D we are heading in the right direction. We see so many people taking 

new steps in their Judaism. Whether it be joining one of our many classes, 

joining us for a holiday event, setting up a time to study, or celebrating sukkot 

with their very own Sukkah, lulav and esrog, there is something for everyone 

no matter what level their Judaism. Our ultimate goal is not something that 

is accomplished overnight, but with the right attitudes and the right people 

we can turn this dream into a reality. Thank you for supporting this vital 

mission. 

Yaakov Gruenstein 



Expressions of 

Appreciation



The Jewish Heritage Center was founded 

in the summer of 1987 by four visionaries. 

Men possessed of lofty dreams and the hard-headed 

pragmatism needed to make those dreams a reality. 

They created the organization, collectively carried it 

through its formative years, and continue to guide, 

assist and help direct its ever-expanding efforts. 


owes its very existence to our founders: 

YISROEL BLOOM k"z 

EDWARD R. CHERNOFF 

JERRY WILLIAMS 

DOV WOLOWITZ 

We hope that the nachas they receive from observing 

our students and alumni can, in some small way, 

repay the incredible debt that we all owe them. 




The JHC is deeply indebted to have had an incredible array of superbly talented instructors 

over the years, both on its payroll and as dedicated volunteer instructors. So much of what the 

Center has accomplished is due to all these amazing teachers:

לעלוי נשמת הרב יצחק דוד בן אלימלך הכהן ז״ל 

RABBI DOVID SCHWARTZ Z”L 

Master teacher. Eloquent orator. Insightful Writer. 

Consummate mentor. Cherished friend. 

For 18 Years Rabbi Dovid Schwartz gave of himself and of his considerable 

talents, with great mesiras nefesh (dedication), to the students and alumni 

of the Jewish Heritage Center. During that time, he impacted significantly 

upon the lives of countless Jewish neshamos. Using his brilliance and 

trademark wit, and combining encyclopedic knowledge of both Torah 

and secular wisdom, he inspired his students in their Torah growth. Reb 

Dovid’s warmth and humility drew others to connect with him and created 

deep and enduring relationships with generations of JHC families. For his 

colleagues on the staff of the Center as well, he was a tremendous source of 

wisdom, insight and inspiration. 

Sorely missed, he will never be forgotten. 

His memory continues to be an inspiration.

from calls to pickups; from tutoring to 

shlepping and so much more… 

The Center’s constant growth 

and productive frenzy of programming is due, 

in no small part, to these volunteers. 

We are extremely grateful. 

The Rabbis 




Most people go to shul concerned 

merely about their own davening. 

A Gabbai goes to shul and concerns himself 

with everyone else’s davening. 

The Center sincerely thanks 

all of our past Gabbaim 

as well as our current Gabbaim 

ELLIOTT FRIEDMAN, 

DAVID LINN 

and DAVID BURSTYN 

for constantly giving of themselves 

each week for the rest of us. 




On behalf of those who daven at our 

Queens Center on Shabbos 

we wish to thank 

CHAIM SIEGLER 

and all of those who volunteer to help with 

our Kiddushim and the consistent upkeep of the 

Bais Haknesses (special kudos to those who 

volunteer each week to make the cholent!) 

Their efforts on behalf of us all 

are sincerely appreciated. 




We gratefully acknowledge the

Hakoras Hatov to 

RABBI MOSHE TURK AND RABBI NAFTALI PORTNOY 

How can I write anything that comes close to describing the awe, admiration, and 

gratitude that I feel for Rabbis Turk and Portnoy and their primary partners, their wives? 

How can I write anything that comes close to describing the admiration for and 

inspiration from those who had the courage and fortitude to painstakingly create 

new lives which are now so beautiful and meaningful? 

How can I adequately write about your tireless and selfless dedication and devotion to 

Hashem’s children and the thousands whose lives have been and will continue to be 

changed forever to eternity ? 

Can we fathom the joy that you have brought to Hashem and to His children to whom 

you have given nothing less than life itself on this world and the next? 

Thank you for enriching our lives by allowing us the opportunity to participate with 

you. I can honestly say that in every way in which I have helped others through the 

Center, I have personally benefited to a far greater extent than any benefit derived 

from me by others. 

Thank you for teaching me about middos tovos, halacha, and so many life lessons, 

mostly learned just by being around you. 

On a personal note, you have both been there to support and guide me in various 

ways at various times in my life. Your guidance and friendship are precious to me and 

I am forever indebted to you for all you have done to help me in so many ways. 

May you both be zocheh to continue your efforts on behalf of Klal Yisrael and to 

continue shepping nachas from your children who have done a magnificent job since 

joining you at the Center. May Hashem grant you much Torah nachas from each and 

every one of your “children” all over the world and grant you arichas yamim veshanim 

tovim to see the fruits Hashem has blessed you with.

Mazel tov to the 

JHC, RABBEIM, FAMILIES, 

MEMBERS & HONOREES 

on an outstanding 30 Years! 

Bz”H may the outreach continue to spread to 

unimaginable heights!! 

Sherwin and Chana Lovi 




This dinner is an opportunity for me to take just a few 

hours of my life to join together with my good friends 

RABBI NAFTALI PORTNOY 

and 

RABBI MOSHE TURK 

in a project that they have devoted their whole lives to. 

Our goal in life is to maximize our Avodas Hashem, 

but the definition of those efforts is what do I need to 

do to maximize the Kiddush Hashem generated by the 

Jewish Nation. 

Our commitment at Har Sinai was to serve Hashem as 

a nation and that each individual assume a role that 

will contribute to and further that national goal. 

I envy them, all those involved with the JHC, 

the magnitude of their accomplishments and what 

they continue to achieve to have so many of our people 

reclaim their positions.

The outreach work of the JHC is truly exemplary. 

Their efforts over these past thirty years to bring 

has been אבינו שבשמים closer אחינו בני ישראל 

tremendously successful. But I believe that their 

success can not be measured in numbers alone 

but even more so in the way in which they give of

devotion to the needs of each & every individual. I am 

truly honored to have been given the opportunity to 

have participated in some small way in their work.

30th Annual Journal Dinner 




Mazel Tov to the 

JHC 

on this joyous occasion - 30 years is a significant 

milestone representing three decades of dedication 

and devotion to the needs of Klal Yisroel. The 

Alumni and Instructor honorees are fitting 

individuals, representing the outstanding work 

and growth of the JHC, it's teachers and it's alumni. 

Mazel Tov to 

MICHELLE & YOSEF MENDELSON 

on this much deserved honor, growing up you were 

both true role models to the Portnoy family. 

Yaakov & Tobi Portnoy 




We felt that an ad in honor of 

RABBI AND MRS. YEHUDA WINDER 

should be composed in a grammatically 

correct manner, utilizing Hebrew terms that conformed to 

all of the rules of דיקדוק fitting for a couple devoted to a 

life of avodas Hashem and Dikduk hamitzvos. 

We knew that our ad in honor of 

RABBI DR. AND MRS. BERGIDA 

use language that one won’t break his teeth on or cause 

a cavity in our relationship; words that describe why the 

mere mention of their names causes everyone to break out 

to a beautiful smile! 

And certainly, our ad in honor of 

RABBI AND MRS. CHAIM CHAIT 

needed to contain pearls of wisdom; in a way that conveyed 

our appreciation of their sterling Middos and hearts of gold. 

But as the saying goes, “shorter is (usually) sweeter. The 

common denominator of all of the honorees is 

that they are all very special selfless, caring individuals dedicated 

to inspiring and sharing with others the beauty of 

living a life of ומצות ‏.תורה May you go מחיל אל חיל“‏ in your 

להגדיל תורה ואדיר avodas hakodesh

To 

RABBI PORTNOY AND BRACHA, 

Our honor tonight is dedicated to you. 

For the past 22 years you have been an unbelievable 

source of support for me and my family. 

Where ever I was on my path to Torah Judaism, you 

were there for me; you were supportive, you listened 

and you advised. I feel truly blessed that Hashem 

brought you and your wonderful family into my life, 

our lives. 

When Michelle and I started dating I was astounded 

by the kindness and warmth which I observed. 

You treated Michelle like a daughter and myself 

like a future son-in law. From engagement to marriage 

and then to raising a family it’s been our pleasure 

being a part of your family. 

Hashem should continue to bless you 

with abundant success as the center grows and 

all you do for Klal Yisroel.

In memory of 

RABBI DOVID SCHWARTZ Z’L 

The eighteen years Rabbi Schwartz spent at the Center put our 

family in touch with so many wonderful people. The incredible JHC 

friends we made, with whom we shared so many memorable 

shabbosim, yomim tovim, and good times, are part of our family 

forever. Teaching at the Center gave him an opportunity to connect 

with others and express Torah ideas using all his wit, wisdom, and 

heart. He was always so proud of the commitments and accomplishments 

achieved by his students. We hope that those whose lives he 

touched will always remember him and his love of Torah, Judaism, 

and his fellow Jew. 

Sincerely, 

Sima Schwartz and Family

Thank you to the Jewish Heritage Center for helping our mom 

KAREN PADAWER, DINNER HONOREE 

pursue the religious and spiritual journey of becoming a ba’alat teshuvah. 

Mom first came to the Jewish Heritage Center (JHC) because of her love 

of Judaism. She was attracted to Judaism’s values and the structure it 

offered, with Torah learning serving as the axel of the wheel of family life. 

Mom met Dad 

(NAT SOLOMON, ALSO DINNER HONOREE) 

after Mom started studying at the Center. As we were growing up, 

Mom and Dad both spoke very fondly of the JHC’s classes, other 

students, and rabbinical families that took Mom under their wing. 

Mom and Dad have continually shown us how to live in a morally 

conscious way. They have raised us with compassion and immense love. 

They so deserve to be honored by the Jewish community for all that 

they do. 

Dad teaches art and chess. He makes a difference in the lives of his 

students every day, when they just need someone who can believe in 

them, encourage them to develop their creativity, and show them his 

goofy side. 

Mom is a project manager, entrepreneur / business owner, a quick wit, 

emotionally perceptive, strongly motivated, a just all-around fun person. 

She inspires us both every day to bring our best work to the table, and 

to seek consistent improvement. 

Thanks to the Jewish Heritage for helping to bring our mom deeper into 

Judaism, and in turn, for helping our mom and dad raise us. 

Love, 

Karla and Gabriel Padawer Solomon

RABBI TURK, 

With tremendous Hakoras Hatov for always

I was the first JHC student. Seems both JHC and I have come a long way 

BH”! Thinking back over the past 3 decades, I am not sure where to begin. I 

met the Turk family when I returned to KG Hills after going on the then 5 

day Discovery Seminar in Jerusalem, followed by some time at Aish HaTorah 

Women’s Division and then Neve Yerushalayim. After Discovery, there was 

no way I could deny what I just heard. 

It pierced my soul, and I made the best decision of my life which was to embrace 

Orthodox Judaism and forge a deep connection with H”. I was blessed 

to remain close with the Turks and until today they are my mentors in yiras 

shomayim, a loving and healthy marriage and family, and pillars of strength 

and courage overall. Some of you may know the difficulties I and my family 

have undergone, especially in the past few years. I have made mistakes and 

I believe I have learned from them. My children and I have been beyond 

resilient and I am full of gratitude. The Turks have had our backs and I will 

never forget it. 

When I made my own long overdue Kiddush at JHC 2 months ago, it was 

a real turning point for me in acknowledging from where I have come and 

where I still need to go. I know full well that H” is THE Boss and I trust the 

process and his plans for me. Bezras H” we will continue on the journey together 

in simcha and good health. Mazel tov to all the honorees and Rabbis, 

some of whom are my close confidantes as well. To Rabbi Turk and Sheva: 

May H” continue to bless all of your efforts on behalf of others. Please know 

that I love you and that you HAVE made a difference. I only hope I have 

made you proud.

Dear Rabbi 

TURK & SHEVA AND RABBI PORTNOY & BRACHA, 

As the years go by since we met, I appreciate more 

and more what you have done for me and what you continue 

to do for me. 

One would think as the years go by, that feeling would start to wain 

and wither but just the opposite is true. 

With each passing day, I remember more and more how you guided 

me, supported me, advised me, taught me, agreed with me, disagreed 

with me and how rain or shine, winter or summer, day or night, early 

or late, you were and continue to be there for me and for my family. 

As each day goes by, I appreciate you more and more. 

As each day goes by, I am more and more thankful to Hashem for you. 

As each day goes by, my Hakoras Hatov grows stronger and deeper 

towards you. 

As each day goes by, I value more and more what you have taught me 

and continue to teach me. 

You may call me an "alumni" if you wish, but I will always be your 

student. 

Thank You. 

With utmost sincerity and tremendous, endless hakoras hatov. 

Lorey & Elliott Friedman and Family 

P.S- Thank you to Eliyahu Turk, Avraham Portnoy, 

Shai Rosenthal and Yaakov Gruenstein for all their hard work and

Your Yeshiva Toras Halacha family 




To my Friends at the Center, 

I recently received a letter that the Center is soon to celebrate its 30th Anniversary. 

It is no coincidence that my wife and I are approaching our 30th wedding anniversary. Our 

engagement which took place on a Shabbos we spent with the Turk family, must have preceded 

the inception of the JHC by a matter of weeks. Your letter has been a catalyst for some 

reflections on our part. Since it is not feasible to participate in the Event in person, I am 

writing this letter to express a small part of our appreciation of the enormous benefits we have 

received from the Rabanim on a constant basis over this long span of time. 

A year, or maybe two, before our marriage, I received a telephone call from Rabbi Moshe 

Turk shlita, who asked if I was interested in someone to learn with me. I was, and he soon 

provided me with a chavrusa in my neighborhood. The learning was very enjoyable, and after 

some time Rabbi Turk provided a second and then a third. After sometime I spent a Shabbos 

with him and his family. The first time we met, I was struck by two things. One, how young 

he was. The other, it was clear he is a person with a phenomenal keenness in understanding 

people. 

During this period of time, I met my wife who was struggling with issues of Jewish theology. 

She came from a Conservative back round and was searching for the truth. After some time 

I gave her R. Turks telephone number. She called, they met. They had an extended conversation, 

and she came out with proper direction to begin a growth process which still continues 

today b’ezras hashem. 

We attended at least one Shabbaton at the Center, and became acquainted also with R. Naftali 

Portnoy, Shlita whose yashrus and midos tovos are evident to all. The Rabbis at the Center 

guided us through our engagement, wedding, as well as other life events. A year after our 

wedding we came to Eretz Yisroel to learn for a year. It became two years, then three. We are 

still here. 

One cannot overestimate the importance of the encouragement, support, reassurance, advice, 

teachings, halachic and otherwise that we have benefited from over the years. 

The first Yeshiva I learned in here was on the recommendation of R. Turk. After three years 

there I came to the Kollel in which I have been learning for the past 25 plus years. Both R. 

Turk and R. Portnoy visited me in Jerusalem. 

Our eldest three daughters are married. Their husbands learn in Kollel here in Eretz Yisrael. 

Our oldest son, also married, learns in the Mir in Jerusalem. We have two more sons in 

Yeshiva Gedola and three girls in seminar. 

We can only hope that we, and our children, and their children will contribute to the Jewish 

community in some significant way, and add to the great merit that the JHC and its Rabanim 

have already provided in Klal Yisrael. 

יהי רצון שכל ‏?צוות,‏ והעוזרים לכם יזכו לכל הצוות הצלחות,‏ וישועות שנאמרו לעוסקים 

בצרכי צבור באמונה.‏ 

‏.בכבוד

We celebrate the 30 years that the Jewish Heritage Center has been 

bringing the welcoming message of Judaism, with love and warmth, 

to every Jew, no matter their level of affiliation! 

May the JHC continue sharing our Heritage, the Torah, with the 

Jewish People as they have so beautifully done! 

We honor all of the Alumni and instructors, and wish them much 

continued success and Yiddishe Nachas! 

We specifically wish to thank 

REB ELIEZER SZROLOVITS 

for sharing his vast knowledge of Halacha and Proper 

living with those of us honored to spend time with him in his Shabbos 

afternoon shiur. 

Reb Szrolovits, you transform not just our Shabbos, but our entire 

lives, by making us aware of so many essential Mitzvos: Bain Adam 

L’makom and Bain Adam L’chaveiro, that otherwise might escape 

our awareness! 

Reb Szrolovits, you put us on the map of true authentic Yiddishekeit. 

May Hakodosh Baruch Hu grant you and your family much Yiddishe 

Nachos, in health, tranquility, and 

happiness.

To all of the 

RABBIS AND REBBETZIN OF THE JHC: 

You and your families have contributed so much to K’lal Yisrael!! Your organization should 

continue to grow and thrive and have a tremendous hashbah on Yiddishkeit throughout 

Queens, the Tristate, America, Eretz Yisrael, and the World…for another 30 years & beyond!! 

You should all continue to be healthy and do what you do best! (We await the day when the 

3rd generation of Portnoy’s and Turk’s are at the helm!! ☺) 

To our incredible and very dear friends the 

MENDELSONS: 

You are exemplary alumni who deserve to be one of the representative alumni honorees for 

this monumental JHC Gala (rhymes with ‘challah’) 30th Anniversary Journal Dinner!! It is a 

true honor to call you friends… more accurately … FAMILY! Our families have grown together 

and we get almost as much nachas from your children as you get from your own. They too are 

exemplary Next Gen representatives of the JHC!! Mazal Tov to you ALL!! 

(Note: It pains us so that we are missing tonight’s gala event. However, duty calls as we are, 

BE”H, currently in Baltimore attending the wedding of OUR OWN SHADCHAN’s children!!)

Sender and Shoshie Hirth 

Congratulations on recognizing 

an outstanding teacher. 

RABBI BERGIDA 

was the first teacher that I can honestly say, 

after many years of learning in yeshiva, helped me understand 

that I didn’t understand Tosfos. 

He patiently listened to my arguments despite 

protest from the other students. The three things I model 

from him is: to listen, understand and stay focused. 

My HaSh-m Bless Rabbi Bergida and his family. 

David and Rebecca Geltzer 




Thanks for all the important work that you do. 

Ron Sandow 

Congratulations to the JHC on 30 years of excellence. 

A big thank you to 

RABBI TURK and RABBI PORTNOY

setting an example which has always been the gold-standard. Indeed, their 

righteous behavior has become the paradigm we strive to emulate. 


KAREN & NAT SOLOMON, RABBI DR. ROBERT BERGIDA, 

RABBI CHAIT, RABBI YEHUDA WINDER

and the continued ability to do mitzvahs and maasim tovim. May the next 

thirty years be even better than than the previous thirty!
