2020 JSU Annual Dinner Note from ChairsThe success of the JSU Annual Gala is largely due to the hard work anddedication of Rabbi Mike Rovinsky, Rabbi Yitz Staum and Sam Zittin.The impact they have on Jewish teens is extraordinary and invaluableto sustaining Judaism. These individuals devote countless hours to JSUthroughout the year. We can’t thank them enough for all they do.Our honorees, Harvey Greenstein and Esther Lyss-Greenstein, of blessedmemory, are such kind, generous and professional people. Their charitableefforts throughout the Jewish community know no bounds and they’vetouched countless lives in St. Louis. Harvey’s infectious smile never fadesand the warmth exuding from him is endless. He’s an inspiration to us all.Warmly,Jean and Stan Margul, and Sue Godwin Kofkoff and Rich Kofkoff6
Remarks from JSU ChairpersonPaul GallantOn behalf of the JSU Lay Leadership and the entire JSU Family is my honorto welcome you to tonight’s special event in tribute to our very own HarveyGreenstein and in memory of Esther Lyss-Greenstein. Harvey and Esther (a”h)epitomize the overarching mission of JSU: Dedication to Jewish education,Jewish identification and to Israel. These are the values that the JSU staff inspireour community’s teens within their daily programs. On a personal level, beingable to honor Harvey and Esther during my tenure as JSU Chair is an extra bonus.I have known Harvey and Esther for over 50 years. In fact, we initially metvolunteering for the Jewish Federation where we were indoctrinated with JewishIdentification and the love for Israel, and we all became very close friends.I would be remiss if I didn’t share what a privilege it is of being part of such atransformational organization like JSU. The dedication and commitment thatour lay leaders demonstrate to ensure the continuity and strength of JSU is soinspiring. The JSU professional team, led by our own, truly one of a kind, RabbiMike, is one that is totally focused on inspiring the next generation of Jews and Isimply marvel at the lengths they will go to reach each and every teen whose paththey cross.Then there is each of you, our JSU partners who share the JSU mission. Throughyour partnership gifts, you are providing the means by which JSU is able tohave the success that it does. EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that JSUaccomplishes are your accomplishments. WE are all a team! We are all family!So even though we may not be together in person tonight physically, we are stillall together under one umbrella, with a unified mission of creating a stronger andbrighter Jewish future.Sincerely,Paul GallantJSU Chairperson7
