Michael Steinhardt gives keynote speech at Senesh Gala
The Hannah Senesh Community Day School had more than 250 people attend its annual Senesh Gala on Tuesday in DUMBO at which it honored four and had the renowned philanthropist Michael H. Steinhardt deliver the keynote speech.
“It was 21 years ago that this school was founded with 14 children, so you can imagine that I’m a little choked up to stand and see this room filled with so many supportive people who have really made the school what it is today,” said head of the school Nicole Nash.
Among the honorees were Adam Perlmutter and Barbara McGlamery, and the chesed honorees included Sunny Barash and Chava Ortner. They were chosen for their dedicated commitment to the Carroll Gardens school. Board chair Emily Reisbaum presented both pairs of honorees with their gifts.
