Temple Beth Sholom Sisterhood will honor Beth Eichenholtz, a past Sisterhood co-president and longtime synagogue member, as its Torah Fund honoree at its Fall Dinner on Thursday, Nov. 15, at 6:30 p.m. The Torah Fund supports prospective clergy and Jewish-education students at conservative-movement seminaries.
Eichenholtz has a master’s degree in Jewish education from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, and has worked as a Hebrew school teacher, youth group advisor, and adult educator. She has served as a branch president and as a region education vice president of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism.
Professionally, she has worked full time in library and information management and for Long Island Lighting. Eichenholtz and her husband, Marc, have both served on the temple Board of Trustees. Their daughter, Eve, is a conservative rabbi in Fayetteville, NC.
The evening will feature a cocktail hour, shopping at holiday boutiques, a dinner by Colbeh, and a musical performance by jazz vocalist Ghazal Mizrahi, accompanied by classical pianist Oswaldo Machado.
A graduate of Adelphi University’s vocal performance program, Mizrahi is a contemporary jazz singer who’s making her own distinct mark on the world of popular music. She was a premier soloist at Adelphi’s Best of Broadway and Jazz Band shows, and has performed at the Amityville Music Hall. She has provided vocals on professional recordings with A Stillwater Satellite, has magnificent stage presence, and is an electrifying performer.
