Massachusetts Chabad Center Marks 26 Years
More than 150 members of the MetroWest Jewish Community joined together at the Boston Newton Marriott to celebrate the 26th Gala Anniversary of the Chabad Center of Natick, Massachusetts.
Jewish identity, inspiration, and education was the theme of the celebration fund-raiser, highlighting past and present accomplishments as well as future plans of expansion. Hors d’oeuvres graced the opening cocktail hour creating a warm festive atmosphere.
The event featured specialty items from the master chefs of Legal Sea Foods made strictly kosher for this event accompanied with the delicious foods of Catering by Motti.
The evening opened with a tribute made by Shaindle Fogelman about her grandfather Rabbi Hershel Fogelman, the founder and trailblazer of Chabad in the Bay State.
Shaindle then introduced her father, Rabbi Levi Fogelman, director of the Chabad Center in Natick. Rabbi Fogelman shared the vision of Chabad and in particular the plans of the Chabad Building Committee outlining how the needs of the community would be served through a newly renovated building, which would house functions that are impossible in the current situation.
Dr. Rob Lindeman is the recipient of the Community Builders Award.
Gerald and Patricia Clarke received the “Lamplighter Award.”
Chanie Fogelman, co-director of the Chabad in Natick, introduced the recipients of the Founders Circle Award, Steve and Laura Black.
