Building For A Brighter Tomorrow Summer Benefit - A Truly Remarkable Evening

Our Building for a Brighter Tomorrow Summer Benefit was truly a remarkable and inspiring evening, bringing together our community, friends, supporters, and leaders in a beautiful celebration of unity, generosity, and shared purpose. The evening was a powerful reflection of the incredible community that stands behind the Center for Jewish Life – Chabad Sag Harbor and its mission to strengthen Jewish life, connection, and community.

We were honored to recognize Eli & Jennifer Gross, Robert Wiener, and the Shafiroff Family for their meaningful contributions and support. Their generosity and commitment continue to help make a lasting impact on our community and enable the Center for Jewish Life to continue building a brighter future for generations to come.

A heartfelt thank you to Ambassador Witkoff for delivering an inspiring keynote address, and to Donny Deutsch for serving as our wonderful MC and guiding us through such a memorable evening. We were also honored to receive greetings from the Holy Land from Gov. Ganz, adding a particularly meaningful connection to Israel and to the Jewish community around the world.

We are deeply grateful to Todd and Kim Glaser for graciously opening their beautiful and historic home and hosting this special evening. Thank you as well to Preservation Long Island for sharing their stunning lawn and helping create such a beautiful setting, and to the Village of Sag Harbor for all of their support and assistance in making the event possible.

One of the evening’s most moving moments was a heartfelt musical performance by Leibel Lazaroff, a survivor of the Bondi Beach Massacre. His courage, resilience, and music touched everyone in attendance and reminded us of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of standing together in the face of adversity.

From inspiring words and meaningful moments to an unforgettable musical performance, exquisite cuisine, refreshing drinks, and an exciting auction, every part of the evening was filled with warmth, connection, generosity, and celebration.

Most importantly, the evening reminded us that when we come together as a community, we can make a lasting difference. Every act of support helps strengthen Jewish life in Sag Harbor and creates opportunities for our community to grow, thrive, and look toward the future with hope.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the event, contributed their time and generosity, and helped make the Building for a Brighter Tomorrow Summer Benefit such a tremendous success.

Together, we can continue to build — for a truly brighter tomorrow.
