Honors at 2 AMIT events

At last month’s Greater Long Island Gala, AMIT honored women who work tirelessly to provide Jewish values-based education to tens of thousands of children in Israel.

“AMIT is an organization that is very dear to my heart,” said honoree Zelda Berger. “I’m proud to be part of an institution that supports so many of Israel’s children and enables them to achieve their potential.”

Amanda Kornblum, another honoree, who attended Midreshet AMIT during her gap year in Israel, said its combination of Torah study and chesed “truly planted the seeds of inner growth into the young woman I am today.”

On Nov. 18, AMIT’s annual dinner at Pier Sixty in Manhattan will recognize outstanding leaders from across the country, including Lawrence residents Anne and Sheldon Golombeck.
