The Sinai Schools hosted its annual campaign and in-person benefit dinner, after a covid-caused hiatus, at Teaneck’s Marriott Glenpointe Hotel on Sunday, February 27.

The dinner, which honored Tova and Shai Gerson, Dr. Lisa Kotler, Micah Kaufman, and Edwin Ruzinsky, also paid tribute to the late Norbert and Liesel Schloss, whose children, Marsha and Tom Friedman, established a scholarship in their memory.

A highlight of the evening was the premiere of Sinai’s feature documentary, “In the Blink of an Eye,” which told the remarkable story of Sinai’s role in helping with the recovery of one of its students, Yoel Feder, from a debilitating accident and brain injury.
