Mensches of MetroWest

JCC MetroWest will hold its inaugural MetroWest Mensches, an evening to honor inspiring men in the local community — virtually — on Wednesday, May 13, at 7 p.m. via Zoom.

The MetroWest Mensches are Eddie Hernandez, Lawrence Rein, and Stanley Shapiro, Ph.D. A Zoom link will be provided at a later date.
Hernandez, an East Hanover resident, is a security guard at the JCC in West Orange following a 25-year career in law enforcement and retiring as a detective with the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.

Rein, who lives in West Orange, is treasurer of the Jewish Service for the Developmentally Disabled (JSDD); chair of the development committee at JCC MetroWest; a board member of Jewish Family Service of MetroWest, Congregation AABJ&D, West Orange Mikvah, Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy, and Keren Ness Foundation; and chair of the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ’s Synagogue Liaison Committee.

Shapiro, a Livingston resident, retired in 2007 from Johnson and Johnson as vice president of science and technology. He is a longtime active member of the JCC as well as Temple B’nai Abraham in Livingston.
