Northeast Region Einstein Visionaries<br />
Society Luncheon<br />
<strong>AFHU</strong> Northeast Region hosted its annual Einstein Visionaries Society Luncheon on September 13 at<br />
The Harmonie Club in midtown Manhattan. This celebratory luncheon recognizes generous donors<br />
who have made a legacy gift to support the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.<br />
Our surprise special guest was President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Asher Cohen, who<br />
shared updates and greetings from Israel. Guest speakers included our distinguished Professor Edwin<br />
Seroussi, director of the Jewish Music Research Center in HU’s Department of Musicology, who<br />
shared a fascinating talk on “Hatikvah: Singing a Hope”. The presentation from <strong>AFHU</strong> planned giving<br />
consultant Neal Myerberg covered strategies to reduce one’s estate and tax-wise giving.<br />
Welcoming our guests was <strong>AFHU</strong> National and Northeast Region Board member, Frances Katz, who<br />
established a bequest to endow a Chair at the Hebrew University School of Social Work. Fran’s remarks<br />
always note her deep connection to the university and pay tribute to her late husband, George Katz<br />
(z”l) and his passion for Hebrew University, Israel, and global betterment. Closing the program was<br />
Maura Milles, the new Executive Director of the Northeast Region. A big thank you also went out to<br />
our luncheon sponsor, PNC Bank, who continue to generously help underwrite this important event.<br />
