EMUNAH National Circle of Life Dinner draws large crowd
The Emunah Circle of Life Dinner, held at the Sheraton New York on Saturday night November 14th, 2015 attracted a crowd of 600 guests who came out to support Emunah and the honorees. Those receiving awards included: Mindy & Muttie Stein – Presidential Leadership Awardees, Maureen & Larry Eisenberg – Bonei Yerushalayim Awardees, Eva Palgon Traub – Aishet Chayil Awardee, and Sarah Struhl – Young Leadership Awardee. Mindy is an esteemed past national president of Emunah and is a National Officer of the organization. Each honoree was featured in a personal video, and was then presented with a piece of artwork created by Noa Attias, a graduate of Emunah’s Florence & Joseph College of Art in Jerusalem.
The Dinner featured a very special guest: 21 year old Naomi Daniel, a poised young woman who grew up at Emunah’s Bet Elazraki Children’s Home and is now a promising student at Israel’s IDC University studying government.
Karen Spitalnick, Emunah National President, addressed the audience and thanked the Dinner Chairmen, Chanie Greif and Sheryl Schainker, for their role organizing the event. Funds raised from the Dinner benefit the thousands of children and families in Israel who rely upon Emunah’s social and educational services every day, including children like Naomi.
