The second annual EZRA Awards, dinner and show ended this season’s fundraiser events on a very high note. Susan Plunkett served an elegant meal in the Wolk Family Center. Tables were tastefully decorated by dinner organizers Bobby Zakalik and Joan Clar. This year’s EZRA honorees were Sandra Arnold, Lynne and Barry Goldberg, Joyce and Warren Heilbronner and Bev and Morrie Weinstein. Our congratulations go out to this fantastic, dedicated group of congregants. Co-chair Sue Lococo and committee member Jerry Zakalik put together a perfect awards program with memorable acceptances from each honoree.
 Dinner guests were joined by others in the Ben Goldstein Chapel for a performance of Jewish humor and laugh-out-loud comedy by Rabbi Bob Alper. Bob has performed throughout the United States and Europe. Laughter and smiles carried from the performance to a joyful dessert reception ending a successful evening.
Donations and dollars raised from attendees, friends and families support important TBK programs and projects. How fitting that the EZRA Award, given to people showing unending love and respect for Temple B’rith Kodesh, results in financial support as well.
The fundraising committee delights in planning events like Cabaret at TBK, the Summer RPO Concert and EZRA Awards - three nights of fun. Attendees enjoy the fun and support temple. The income is instrumental for budget balancing. And participating is a real joy!
We are always open to new ideas for fundraisers. If you have any ideas or would like to volunteer contact Barry Goldberg, the fundraising committee chairperson, at barrygoldberg@writeme.com
Thanks to all who supported Temple B'rith Kodesh
