May 4, 2024 – Our Diamond Jubilee celebration. It was a magical evening of dining and dancing, cruise ship activities, and exotic ports of call.
Celebrate our Honorees!
Lori and Michael Feldstein
Celebrating TJC’s 75th anniversary fills us with gratitude and nostalgia. For Michael, it’s been a lifelong presence from Hebrew School to his bar mitzvah. Years later, Lori was warmly welcomed to TJC and this community would go on to shape our family’s journey. Our children grew up at TJC and formed enduring friendships. TJC is our anchor, offering support in joy and sorrow. Serving on the board gave us both an opportunity to give back, and for Michael, the honor of serving as President was a privilege. As the TJC turns 75, we extend heartfelt wishes to its current leaders, hoping TJC’s flame burns bright for 75 more years.
Linda and Michael Grenis
We joined The Jewish Center in 1990. We jumped into TJC with two feet, becoming actively involved in the school, volunteer roles in shul and participating in oodles of adult education, social events and trips. TJC became the center of our lives, and it is where we met the majority of our friends!
There hasn’t been a better decision we could have made upon moving to Princeton. From baby namings, to B’nai Mitzvot, to Aufrufs, TJC has been there for us. It has been an especially comforting place during our darkest and most challenging times. Each member of our family would tell you that The Jewish Center has helped shape their life. Our family’s strong love of Judaism was etched, nurtured and cultivated at TJC and we are forever grateful.
Arlene and Henry Opatut
We became members in 1979, soon after we moved to Princeton and the birth of our daughter, Jessicaz”l. And yes, we remember services for the High Holidays taking place in a tent. When our son Daniel turned 2, he joined the pre-nursery school play group, and then spent the next 15 years growing up in this building.
Over the years we’ve participated in many programs and activities, both educational and charitable.
We’re grateful for all that The Jewish Center has given us and
cherish the family we’ve acquired since becoming members.
David and Alison Politziner
The rhythm of our lives is played out at The Jewish Center Shabbat after Shabbat, Yom Kippur after Yom Kippur. The melody holds long measures of Sammy and Sarah’s Hebrew School experiences leading to the crescendos of their bar and bat mitzvahs.
Listening back on our 40 years of membership, we hear ourselves adding the high notes of many friendships and appreciating the opportunities to add more, the blessing of an unfinished symphony.
