Jerry was a student at YCQ, as I was, in the ’50s.
Years later, he married my dear friend and classmate, Sylvia Mowshowitz and Sylvia transfered to Barnard, where I was a student. We remained in slight contact over the years, until the Ramah bunk reunion 3 years ago. Now the “kesher” is so much stronger.
My very best wishes to you, Jerry, on your special birthday. You have such a big, loving, supportive group of family and friends.

My beloved parents, Al and Phyliss Spack, felt truly blessed to be able to spend their senior years in a congregation led by Jehiel Orenstein. His concern for their human and spiritual needs was overwhelming and he always displayed a remarkable warmth and kindness to them. In their beloved memory my brother and I are pleased to make a donation in his honor.

Dear Jehiel Orenstein,

Although we have only known you and your family for a short time, your wonderful warmth, humor, and smile were so welcoming each time we spoke with you. We especially thank you for the gift you share with us at Congregation B’nai Israel: your daughter Rabbi Debra Orenstein.
Congratulations on your 77th birthday. Best regards, Ellen and Dave Michelson
