Annual Westchester Event Celebrates ADL’s Work to Combat Bias and Bigotry from Kindergarten to Campus

  • November 24, 2015

On Thursday, November 19, approximately 200 guests attended ADL in Westchester at the Metropolis Country Club in White Plains to pay tribute to Marcy and John Harris, as well as Rabbi Emily Korzenik for their outstanding service to the ADL. The evening was a terrific success and raised over $123,000 to benefit ADL New York Region’s community, education and advocacy initiatives.

The Event Co-Chairs, Karen Rosenfeld and Susan Banker, served as the evening’s hosts, and introduced the roster of speakers including: Keynote Speaker, ADL’s new CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, Judge Sondra Miller and Rabbi Jonathan Blake who introduced the awards to the honorees, and Vassar College student, Jason Storch, who shared his experience on campus and how ADL is empowering him and fellow students to stand up to hate and injustice. Guests of the Advocate’s Circle Reception were treated to a special musical number from the Springhurst Elementary School. Prominent guests include: Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, Assemblyman David Buchwald, Rabbi Gordon Tucker, current ADL National Chair Marvin Nathan, former ADL National Chair Bob Sugarman, former New York Regional Board Chair Gregg Mashberg, Mayor Jonathan Mark of Scarsdale, and Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner.
