The event, which took place on Thurs- day, March 23, 2017, honored committed leaders Cindy and Ben Golub of Mamaroneck and Lois Kohn-Claar and Gary Claar of Scarsdale. UJA-Federation’s West- chester Regional Chair Mar- tine Fleishman of Harrison Harry Connick Jr. reminded the gathering that “The very essence of UJA — what was true in 1917 and remains true until today — is that we care for one another. Once we understand what UJA accomplishes — putting compassion into action to better humanity and our lives — we’re easily moved to support it.” Event chairs included Karen and Andrew Greenspan of Chappaqua, Michele and Kevin Gregson of Chappaqua, Randi and Dan Kreisler of Pleasantville, Stephanie and Lee Speigel of Chappaqua, Drs. Rochelle and Joshua Waldman of Scarsdale, and Giselle and Alan Weissman of Rye. www.shorelinepub.com Westchester Jewish Life • April 2017 • Nisan-Iyar 5777 • 9 Relaunch of the Bipartisan Taskforce for Latimer Introduces Hate Crime Combatting Anti-Semitism Legislation for Bomb Threats to Community Centers with Religious Representatives Nita Lowey in condemning anti-Semitism remains unclear, it is undeni- (D-NY), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Eliot and spearheading initiatives that able that these threats wreaked Affiliation Engel (D-NY), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen promote tolerance worldwide. havoc, fear, and anxiety in Jewish (R-FL), Ted Deutch (D-FL), Kay The Taskforce will continue to communities across America.

The exhibit features black and white portraits by an internationally renowned photojournalist and the stories of dozens of Americans who have had difficulty putting enough nutritious food on the table each day. Through digital and hands-on activities, “This Is Hunger” takes participants on a compelling journey that draws them into the real-life circumstances of these individuals and deepens their awareness about who in America struggles with hunger and why. Visitors are then encouraged to educate others and RSVP: ajc.org/westfair/gala2017 advocate for change.
