2 Rockland Jewish Family Service Unsung Heroes 2020 3

Agency Benefactor

“Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extra-ordinary” --Author unknown

Our son in law, Jason Weinger, who lost his life to the corona virus in May, was the

consummate go-to person for the food pantry of RJFS. No chore too large or too small, Jason was the problem solver. He

and our daughter, Jill with their three children, Tamar, Mikalah and Eli, were well

known volunteers for Rockland Jewish Family Service. Jason did not stop there,

however. He was a volunteer for the Suffern Fire Department and as we are still learning

after his death, he was also the go-to person for family members, for friends who

needed help, and others in the Rockland community. Jason was a humble man , and being honored as an “Unsung Hero” is truly

fitting.With Love and Gratitude for the years

Jason was with us,Bobbie and Marty Goldstein

JASON WEINGER

MARILYN AND HARRY SOFFER AND OUR FAMILY



In Memory of Jason Weinger z”l A mainstay at the RJFS Food Pantry, Jason was also a role model to the Reuben

Gittelman Hebrew Day School community. Drive 8th graders home from a late night Bar Mitzvah party held in

an out of the way location? No location? No problem. Add one more who doesn’t have a ride home, even though

it’s 1:00 a.m.? Of course. Jason never wanted any child to feel left out. Jason always said “yes” no matter how many activities he was involved in. Play dates, class trips to the

firehouse, special events-Jason was always helping, and he never looked for credit or the limelight.

What a wonderful example Jason set for all of us at RGHDS and in the Rockland community.

In Honor of

Carol Blau Whether it’s delivering food to Holocaust survivors in Rockland, working at the Food Pantry, or combing through Costco to find the best quality long

underwear and the warmest wool socks for the homeless people you help in NYC, you’re constantly helping those in need. Mazal Tov to you, our dear friend, on this very well-

deserved honor.

Chanalee Fischer It’s not easy, but your kind, generous, and down to earth neshama manages to outshine your world famous and incredibly delicious challah. Todah

Rabah for your service to our community.

Melinda Levin You do your many mitzvahs with a full heart and always with a smile. Thank you for all you do for

RJFS and so many other organizations in Rockland.

With love,

Judy, Ruth, Eli and Brenda Josephs

Congratulations to all the honorees.

Jason is forever in our thoughts and hearts.

Thank you for all your tireless efforts during this unusual time in our lives.

Because of you many people were provided with much needed food

In memory of Jason Weinger, he will not be forgotten.

Lyn and Hank Meyers

MOM Of the many times we’ve been blessed to see or hear you get recognized for your work in our community, this honor for you is both the most fitting and least surprising. Mom, you taught us from a young age that it is our obligation in the Jewish faith to help others and do what is right and just; you taught us the highest forms of Tzedakah not just with your words, but also with your continued actions.

We are SO proud of you!

And we applaud all of the honorees for their commitment to this important cause.

Kathryn is our hero Of that you can be sure

She has achieved so very much For the many food insecure

She does so much with good cheer

She’s never in a funk She’s enabled hundreds to get their food

By loading boxes in their trunk

Through the summer’s scorching heat And as the weather’s turned to freeze In our parking lot she gives out masks

And other PPEs

But the most important thing of all As you can surely see

She’s the mom of 3 more heroes Apples all from a mighty tree

We love you, Kathryn!
