Faculty honorees include Ruth Fried, chair of the science department and director of the Science Institute at the Samuel H. Wang Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central), and Rabbi Alfred Cohen, longtime maggid shiur at the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy/Yeshiva University High School for Boys (MTA), who will retire at the end of this year. Rabbi Steven and Rachel Burg of Bergenfield are MTA’s guests of honor, and Avi and Aleeza Lauer are Central’s.
The dinner will also honor the 25th anniversary of the graduating class of 1990 at both MTA and Central.
