Fellow Congregants, Family and Friends,At a Board of Trustees meeting a year or so ago, Rabbi Pont had us perform an exercise, break into pairs andtalk about the first experience in our lives that connected us to Judaism. For me, it was easy. When I thinkabout what Judaism means to me, I always go straight back to the homes of my grandmothers, and my greataunts. These were all warm, wonderful women, each one welcoming us with open arms, and then feeding usuntil we were stuffed. My maternal grandmother was fond of the saying, “The more the merrier!” While that isnot a Jewish saying, I believe it’s a Jewish sentiment; in a Jewish home, in a Jewish community, there’s alwaysroom at the table.When Rabbi Pont asked me what my goals were for MJC presidency, I told him that I wanted to buildcommunity, to bring together various groups within the temple, be they the Hebrew School families, Shabbatregulars, Prime Timers, everyone. I hope I was able to bring our congregants a little bit closer, adding a few“leaves” to the table.While it has been the honor of my life to serve as synagogue president, it was only possible with thecollaboration and dedication of so many in our synagogue community. I am deeply indebted to everyone whoserved on the Executive Committee, the Board of Trustees, and each and every synagogue committee (andthere are many of these!!). When Rhonda was MJC president, she often quoted the nursery rhyme “This is theHouse That Jack Built.” Well, this is the house that the MJC congregation built, and it continues to thrivethanks to all your efforts.Thank you to Allen Basis, who was the Executive Vice President during my term, for his partnership andcollaboration.Allen, you were indispensable to me, and you’re doing a great job at the helm!Thank you to Rabbi Pont and Cantor Teplitz, for encouraging me to participate religiously to the extent of mycomfort zone and beyond! Thank you to Dara Winston, our Executive Director, for running everything sosmoothly and with so much wisdom and compassion. Thank you to Dina Delacruz and the staff of Kleenrite.From painting to snow plowing, to preparing Shabbat Kiddush lunch, you do it all! Thank you, Steve Solomon, for putting your faith in me and popping the question: “Would you considerExecutive Vice President?”Mazel Tov and Yascher Koach to my fellow honorees, Jamie & Ross Albert and Sheila & Stanley Mandel. Yourdedication and generosity to MJC know no bounds. You are great role models, and I’m humbled to be honoredwith you.To my family, Danielle, Joshua, Hannah, my great niece Sofia who joined our family 6 months ago, and mymother-in-law Zelda Cohen, I love you all so much. I am so proud to be your dad, great uncle and son-in-law.Rhonda, I have been unbelievably lucky to be with you on this journey for the past 32 years. It is yourleadership that raised our family and brought us to this wonderful community. Thank you for your patience,guidance, and unconditional support while letting me find my own way as MJC president. I love you.Thank you to the Journal Committee for making tonight a success and for helping us reach our fundraisinggoal. Kol Hakavod on a job truly well done!MJC, we are one community! Anachnu Kehilah Echat!Mark Eiger

Dear Family, Friends, and Fellow Congregants,We are honored to be chosen as one of the recipients of this year's Ohev Shalom Award. Thank you. To becelebrating this honor with Mark Eiger and Stanley & Sheila Mandel, cornerstones in the local Jewishcommunity, fills us with gratitude. You have all undoubtedly shaped numerous events and affairs for ourtemple. Thank you for all you have done. Congratulations. This award has given us a moment to reflect on the different roles we have played in the local Jewishcommunity and specifically at Marlboro Jewish. I myself have been a member of the synagogue since birth. Igrew up going to MJC Hebrew school, high holiday services, and many shabbats and events. I had my BarMitzvah at MJC. Marlboro Jewish was the foundation of my Jewish identity. As it came time to start a family, itwas important to me that MJC would serve as my family’s Jewish foundation as well. Jamie embraced thatopportunity, coming from a strong Jewish community herself. We celebrated our Aufruf, baby namings, andboth mitzvahs of our children Evan and Hayley at MJC.Raising a Jewish family in the current environment comes with many questions and struggles. With theleadership of our Rabbi, Cantor, and members, our family has been given a gift. Knowing that we will alwayshave a home and belong in the Jewish Community of Monmouth County has given us stability and strength inour religion. What’s more? We have made lifelong friends that have made coming to temple special andwelcoming. It is important that as Jews, we continue to support MJC and allow it to be a homecoming forgenerations to come. My family is confident that with leaders like the ones we have here, Marlboro JewishCenter has much more to come. It has been our pleasure participating in this event. We look forward to many more years of communitygatherings, celebrations, and holidays at Marlboro Jewish Center. Thank you again for this honor; we have theutmost appreciation for being recognized from a temple filled with givers. I am so glad we could all celebratetonight together as a united community.Ross and Jamie Albert

We are Sheila and Stanley Mandel and are long-time members of MJC. Although we grew up in the sameBrooklyn neighborhood and attended the same high school, we met at a Barnard-Columbia event on Sheila’sfirst night of college. Four years later, we were married and began teaching careers and graduate schoolprograms in Latin American politics and Early Childhood Education. In 1968, we were pioneers moving to a mostly undeveloped Marlboro with two babies – Barry and Robin – andjust one car. We joined Marlboro Jewish Center shortly after it was formed and began a more than 50- yearinvolvement with Jewish life in our community.Eventually Stanley went on to earn two more masters degrees and a doctorate and became a psychologist.Sheila founded Corner Playhouse Nursery School in Wickatunk, earned a degree as a paralegal and laterbecame a preschool music specialist.Strongly believing in the value of continuing education, we take courses in Torah study, adult ed, Talmud, shortstories and Irish literature and study piano. Sheila was one of the founders of Brookdale’s Friends of LifelongLearning Committee and became an adult Bat Mitzvah at MJC. Stanley continues to attend professionalworkshops in psychology and is keenly interested in current events and politics.Temple members for more than 50 years, we remember the first weekend rabbis and everyone who cameafter. We attended the synagogue ground-breaking ceremony and the opening of the Chai Building. Both of usare long-time members of the Board of Trustees, Ritual and House Committees, and Adult Choir. We regularlyattend services and serve as ritual ushers and gabbaim and distribute High Holiday honors in the Chai.We were officers in the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities and have presented many lecturesand musical programs. Sheila played the piano for the Women’s Seders and led a weekly sing-along at SummerHill Nursing Home for 8 years. Stanley interviewed countless applicants to Columbia College and only recentlyretired from his practice as a psychologist.Thank you to Rabbi Pont, Cantor Teplitz, the Gala Committee and the Board of Trustees for honoring us. Ourmany friends and fellow congregants have been a source of wonderful support. It has been our honor and privilege to actively participate in our synagogue’s life and work and see MJCbecome a strong and vibrant center for Jewish life.With love,Shelia & Stanley Mandel

All the honorees have and still volunteer tirelessly for MJC, and for the community at large. Mark Eiger and his family joined the synagogue in 2013, in time for Hannah and Josh’s B’nai Mitzvah.While others might fade into the background of Jewish life after a simcha, Mark did the opposite. Heserved on our Executive Board in different capacities, including as treasurer, executive vicepresident, and president. Mark is not the typical synagogue leader in that he embraced it onlyrelatively recently. Yet this is what makes him so effective; on the holidays he spoke about thisopenly, proving that one need not be steeped in Jewish experiences since childhood to make animpact. During his term and since, he has emphasized unity with the catchphrase תחא הליהק ונחנא, weare one community. He is correct – we are stronger when we focus on commonalities. Mark is also apassionate advocate for our youth. In all these ways, Mark inspires me and makes me a better rabbi. I have known Jamie and Ross Albert since I started at MJC. In fact, blessing their daughter Haileywith a Hebrew name was one of the first life cycle events I performed in my tenure here, and it wasjoyous! Hailey was adorable, decked out in pink with sparkling shoes. As she and her older brotherEvan grew up going to our Preschool and Hebrew School, I’ve gotten much closer to the Alberts. Andofficiating at their B’nai Mitzvah will always be a highlight! Over our thirteen years of friendship, Jamie and Ross have always been incredibly generous, not justfinancially but with their time. They rally their friends and colleagues to support the synagogue,Israel, and to stand against antisemitism. I am so honored to be their rabbi and know that ourrelationship will continue to grow. Sheila and Stanley Mandel joined MJC in 1971, making them among the first members. In over fiftyyears, they have truly given their heart and soul to Jewish life in Marlboro. Sheila served in variousexecutive capacities, including as ritual, education, and house vice presidents. Both she and Stanserved on the Board of Trustees for decades, and Stan volunteered as a teacher for adult educationclasses. During my tenure they have attended Shabbat and holiday services almost every week, andthey rarely miss a program; in our tradition they are called םידימתמ, those who are ever present, thehighest compliment one can give. I have turned to them often for advice about the synagogue, andin each instance, they gave constructive feedback and suggestions to move forward. Although theyretired from the Board a year ago, they left their mark on it with their humility, passion, and goodhumor. The Talmud teaches, “And all who work for the community, should do so for the sake of Heaven…”(Pirkei Avot 2:2) All the honorees give generously of themselves, benefiting themselves but muchmore to further the synagogue’s mission. May they be well and continue to be positive role models,inspiring all of us to volunteer for MJC and for the sake of Heaven. Shalom, Rabbi Pont

In the Jewish tradition, leadership is not simply about holding a position— it is about service, vision, andcommitment to the greater good. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks z”l said, “Leadership is not about power, but aboutinfluence, responsibility, and service.” These words perfectly capture the essence of Mark Eiger’s leadership as President of the Marlboro JewishCenter, as well as the invaluable contributions of Ross and Jamie Albert and Dr. Stanley and Sheila Mandel. As MJC President, Mark devoted countless hours to ensuring that our synagogue remains not only a place ofworship but a true home for Jewish life, learning, and community. His vision guided us all toward building astronger, more vibrant congregation. His tireless dedication, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to Jewishvalues have left an indelible mark on our community. He leads with kindness, strength, and an unshakablebelief in the power of community.Pirkei Avot teaches us, “In a place where there are no leaders, strive to be one.” We are lucky to have acommunity of leaders at MJC, and the Alberts and Mandels are two excellent examples of this. Through theircommitment and generosity, their collective efforts have strengthened our programs, enhanced our spiritualand educational offerings, fortified our facilities, and deepened the bonds that connect us all. Thank you, Mark, Ross, Jamie, Stanley, and Sheila for all that you have done and continue to do. May you gofrom strength to strength!With appreciation and admiration,Dara WinstonExecutive DirectorMarlboro Jewish Center
