MR. & MRS. TERREL & LIZZY ROSS 1

This dinner is dedicated to the loving memory of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, OB”M

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson The Rebbe revolutionized the global landscape through a singular vision of bringing G-D’s creation to perfection through goodness and kindness. Millions of people have been touched by his light and his love – directly or through the Shluchim, his personal emissaries who spread his message throughout the world.

The Rebbe’s faith in each individual led him to recognize the potential for new and revitalized life where most had long given up hope. Against all odds, he relentlessly fanned the embers of Jewish observance in the Soviet Union during a half century of Communist oppression; the result of which 2

is an unprecedented network of schools, synagogues, and mikvaot in the former USSR. Where others saw only darkness, he saw the point of light which could be nurtured and magnified. He inspired countless people to make tzadakah a daily way of life.

The Rebbe’s legacy is that his Shluchim and the hundreds of thousands he touched throughout the world carry his message and extend his embrace to the farthest reaches.

By making us active participants in the perfection of G-d’s world, the Rebbe has empowered us as only a parent can empower his children.

May the Rebbe’s sacred and primary mission to help bring about this perfection and the ultimate final Redemption be realized speedily and in our days.

Rabbi’s Letter

Dear Friends, Mazel Tov to our distinguished Guests of Honor: Jeff and Meira Neckonoff, Avi and Chava Popack, Allen Rosenberg and Faye Klausner, Terrel and Lizzy Ross and to all who are attending our Annual Dinner Celebration.

On behalf of the many who benefit from the warmth and joy at the Jean Fischman Chabad Center of the Five Towns, I wish to thank you for attending this momentous occasion, celebrating 21 years of thriving in the community.

We pay tribute to our founder and leader, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, OB”M. The Rebbe’s selfless leadership and unconditional love for every Jew and every human being are the inspiration for all the activities at the Jean Fischman Chabad Center of the Five Towns, as well as at the 4,000 Chabad Centers that carry his timeless message to communities throughout the world.

As we gather here tonight, I take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the many people who have contributed in so many ways to make these twenty one years incredibly successful and enjoyable. Each of you is an integral part of the amazing success of Chabad of the Five Towns. I thank you for your friendship in the past and ask for your continued and increased support in the future so that many more people, young and old, from all walks of life will be able to grow and flourish together through our Chabad Center – a home away from home for everyone who walks through its doors.

With esteem, friendship, blessing, and best wishes,

Rabbi Shneur Z. Wolowik Director & Spiritual Leader

MR. & MRS. JEFF & MEIRA NECKONOFF Guests of Honor Jeff & Meira Neckonoff and their two teenage children, Emily and Daniel, moved to Lawrence from Merrick in 2010. The location was specifically chosen as it is only two blocks away from Chabad of the 5 Towns.

Jeff was raised in Canarsie and received his BBA from Baruch College, in Marketing & Sales, where he and Meira met in his last semester. Shortly thereafter, Jeff and Meira embarked on a long spiritual journey, which ultimately led them to Chabad of the Five Towns.

Meira was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and emigrated to the United States when she was nine years old. She has a BBA in International marketing and a Masters in Education from Queens College. She is an ESL teacher in Valley Stream Public School District 30.

Since 1987, Jeff has been working in the entertainment & special events industry. In 2004, Jeff created Azamra, after making the decision to become Shomer Shabbos. He gave up a successful secular DJ company in order to keep Shabbos.

Within a year, Azamra was self-sustaining and now after more than 1,400 events, has helped redefine the entertainment industry in the observant community.

Jeff discovered Chabad of the Five Towns in 2003, before the family was Shomer Shabbos.

He had shul-hopped and met quite a lot of other great Rabbeim at Chabad houses. What connected Jeff to this Chabad was the first time Jeff met Rabbi Wolowik. It was pouring on a Shabbos and he and their two young children arrived in Cedarhurst from Merrick, 12 miles away. Without missing a beat, when Rabbi Wolowik inquired 4

as to where they lived, he then told Jeff that he must have walked between the raindrops and was therefore a tzadik, as there is a story in the Talmud about Rabbi Shimon ben Shetach, who did exactly that. Jeff had no idea what the Rabbi was talking about but realized afterwards that the Rabbi didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable as it was obvious he drove to Chabad that Shabbos. That sealed the relationship between the Neckonoffs and Chabad of the 5 Towns.

For the next seven years, the Neckonoffs would spend almost every other Shabbos and most of the yomin tovim in the homes of kind & generous members of Chabad, including the last three years before they moved here, at the Wolowiks.

Jeff helped launch and is regularly involved in the daily 7:30 shacharis minyan at Chabad. He also graciously donates his time and talent at the annual Lag B’Omer and Simchas Beis Hashoeva events in Parisi Park.

Jeff and Meira are indebted to the many Rabbis who helped them on their journey to frumkeit.

Many others were also instrumental in helping Jeff and Meira find their way in the service of Hashem, and, in many respects, all of those people are being honored this evening. Jeff and Meira are most appreciative of Rabbi and Rebbetzin Wolowik for their sincere and heartfelt friendship and guidance. Jeff and Meira credit the Wolowiks with having guided them on their path to Yiddishkeit.

With much gratitude to Hashem, Jeff and Meira Neckonoff are excited to be honored by Chabad of the Five Towns.

GUESTS

HONOR MR. & MRS. AVI & CHAVA POPACK Guests of Honor Avi and Chava Popack are proud members of Chabad of the Five Towns. Avi was born in Queens and later attended Yeshiva Ohr Yerushalayim, Yeshiva University and Brooklyn Law School. Approximately ten years ago, Avi founded Chase Abstract, a title insurance company.

Along with his father and brothers, Avi helped pioneer Chabad of the Five Towns’ minyan 21 years ago. Avi’s family has a long relationship with Chabad; Avi’s great grandfather learned in the original city of Lubavitch in Russia and was later sent to be a shaliach in Vermont by the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Chava was born in Atlanta, GA. She attended high school in Cincinnati, OH, Darchei Binah in Israel and the Fashion Institute of Technology. Chava is a partner in ANA and AVA

hair accessories. Chava’s family has a long relationship with Chabad and her parents are active members of Chabad in Atlanta, GA. Avi and Chava moved to the Five Towns ten years ago and currently reside in Woodmere.

They are proud parents of three beautiful boys: Noah (9), Judah (7) and Sammy (2). Sammy is currently a student in the Purple Room at Gan Chamesh. Noah and Judah previously attended Gan Chamesh.

Avi davens regularly at Chabad and has a weekly chavrusah with Rabbi Wolowik. Avi and Chava chair many Chabad activities.

Chava helps extensively with Chabad’s women’s programming. Noah, Judah and Sammy join in Shabbos groups at Chabad where they are proud recipients of “Best Davener” trophies.

Mr. Allen Rosenberg & Mrs. faye klausner Guests of Honor Faye and Allen’s journey has led them to the warm and wonderful embrace of Rabbi and Chanie Wolowik.

Both raised in Brooklyn, they have been residents of the Five Towns for more 25 years.

Faye raised her two children Jeremy and Heather Markovitch in Lawrence, while Allen raised Jade, Gaelyn and Grant in Woodsburgh.

Fay and Allen note: “It has been through the guidance of Rabbi Wolowik that we have enriched our lives spiritually, and have had all our children connect with Chabad on college campuses and on their travels throughout the world. We have been fortunate to blend our families with diverse backgrounds together and to appreciate things that so often are taken for granted.”

more than 15 years. Allen owned an auto parts business which afforded him to invest in real estate. He sold his business in 1998 and focused solely on his investment properties.

First acquiring residential properties, Allen grew into commercial real estate including office buildings and shopping centers. His most recent venture has been developing the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach where Faye is currently the executive director.

“As our journey continues we are privileged with being among the worthy honorees for the Chabad of the Five Towns and we are fortunate to have been blessed with the Wolowik’s friendship and tireless support.

May we continue to journey together and share smachot until 120.”
