More than 900 people came to the Sinai Schools’ annual campaign and benefit dinner on Sunday, Feb. 26, at Teaneck’s Marriott Glenpointe Hotel. The evening honored Dr. Michael Stifelman and Dr. Jill Zimmerman, Tzvi and Erica Solomon, and Judi Karp, and featured student and parent speaker Julia and Annie Miller. It also paid tribute to the Leo Brandstatter, z’l, Sinai’s founding president, with a tribute video showcasing his pivotal role in Sinai’s creation and the announcement that the school’s professional leader would be known as the Leo Brandstatter z’l Dean. A highlight of the evening was the premiere of Sinai’s feature documentary, “Finding Her Voice,” which told the story of Racheli and her parents as Racheli grew and flourished at Sinai.
