FROM THE
CHAIRMAN

OF THE BOARD
8: PRESIDENT

 

Dear Friends,

As we join together to celebrate the 35nd annual dinner of American Friends of Bet
ElYeshiva Center, it is my pleasure to welcome you all here tonight. This year we are
celebrating the 40th anniversary of the founding of Bet El. This bastion of the spirit of
Judaism and Zionism in the heart of the land of Israel represents the ultimate realization
of Torah-true values and sel?ess commitment to the Nation. It is you, our dear guests
and supporters, who are responsible for this progress.

We congratulate our honorees tonight, all of whom are splendid and natural
extensions of this altruistic ideal and total dedication that permeates the Bet El
community and its institutions.

Our Shomer Eretz Yisrael Awardee, Dr. Joseph Frager, is one of Israel?s leading
advocates in the United States. Dr. Frager has successfully lobbied both local politicians
and Capitol Hill on behalf of Israel, and he has led countless tours of Israel for numerous
American political leaders. Dr. Frager organized the Annual Israel Day Concert in
Central Park for the past twenty-five years, and he writes a popular blog on Arutz Sheva.
Dr. Frager is a member of the board of the American Friends of the Bet ElYeshiva Center,
the board of the National Council onoung Israel and Chairman of American Friends of
Ateret Cohanim.

My heartfelt congratulations go to our Bet El Builders Medallion Awardee, Laurie
Moskowitz Hirsch, on behalf of her parents, Dr. Irving, z?l and Cherna Moskowitz.
The Moskowitzes were among the first supporters of the Gush Emunirn movement to
settle the newly?liberated regions of Judea and Samaria after the Six-Day War, and they
have long played a vital and integral role in the building, reclaiming and settlement of
Jewish neighborhoods and towns throughout Eastern Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria,
including our beloved Bet El.

My best wishes to our Keter Torah Awardees Mechel and Sima Lieber. Mechel and
Sima are strong believers in Bet El and its Institutions. Their activism and leadership have
greatly benefited their Flatbush community. Sima is active in the Sister-to-Sister
organization, providing friendship and support to women who are, or are in the process
of getting divorced. Mechel dedicates several nights a week studying with unaffiliated
Jews in the ?Partners in Torah? initiative, helping them along their journey towards
mitzvah observance.

It with a heavy heart that I mourn, with all assembled here tonight, the untimely
passing this past September of NYS Michael Simanowitz, z?l, the son of
our dear friends and longtime officers Sheila and Sherman Simanowitz. Michael worked
behind the scenes in numerous capacities to ensure the success of our dinner for these
past many years. His smile, generosity, reliability, perseverance and keen insight are
sorely missed.

On behalf of my wife Jean and myself, I would like to share with you why Bet E1 it is
so important to us. There have been, throughout history, events and places that have
taken on enormous historical significance, and Bet E1 is such a place. It has grown from
a small group of trailers placed on a barren tract of land four decades ago into a center of
Torah learning and a thriving community. It stands as a beacon of light, and is a forceful
statement that Israel will never again allow others to threaten its independence and
well?being. We believe, with all our hearts, that Israel?s survival depends on the
development of cities like Bet El, and on brave men and women of vision and faith.

The heroic effort of the builders of Bet El could not have been achieved without the
genuine love and support of all of you. With our continued interest and encouragement,
the dreams and visions which we have for them will become the promise of a glorious
future.

Sincerely,
Eugen Gluck

Dear Friends,

It is indeed a pleasure to welcome you this evening, as we celebrate the
35th Annual Dinner of American Friends of Bet El. For four decades, Bet
El has stood as a pillar of Jewish life in the Shomron.Your support this
evening sends a clear message to our brothers and sisters in Bet El and
throughout Eretz Yisrael that they are not alone.

Last Shabbat we read, in ParshatVayetzei, onaakov's dream at Bet El.
G?d stood aboveYaakov and promised to give him and his descendants
all the land he was lying upon:? the ground upon which you are lying, to
you will I give it and to your descendants.? Yaal<ov was so awed by this
prophecy that when he awoke, he said ?Surely Hashem is present in this
place and I did not know! How awesome is this place. This is none other than
the abode of Hashem and this is the gate of the he named
that place Bet El.?

Thousands of years later, a handful of pioneers returned to that spot with
a dream of their own. They dreamed of a great city, full of history and
imbued with ToratYisrael and a love for the land. Now, forty years later,
those pioneers transformed that very spot, the barren land of dreams,
into the thriving city of Bet El, whose Yeshiva Center is a Makom Torah,
where Emunah in Hashem and love for the land of Israel are
unquestioned.

Tonight, we honor Dr. Joseph Frager with our Shomer Eretz strael
award, Mechel and Sima Lieber with our Keter Torah award, and grant
to Laurie Moskowitz Hirsch the Bet El Builders Medallion on behalf of
her parents Dr. Irving and Cherna Moskowitz ?mnv. They are all
strong supporters of Eretz Israel and Bet El. Their dedication and hard
work on behalf of the people of Bet E1 is limitless and we are happy to be
able to pay tribute to them this evening.

Your support and presence here this evening ensures that Bet El
continues to grow and will remain a center of ToratYisrael for
generations to come, and will give the residents of Bet El encouragement
and support, for their home is where our heart is.

On a very personal note, this year we unfortunately lost one of our own,
NYS Michael Simanowitz Michael was an integral
part of the American Friends of Bet El organization, and served as a
Dinner Journal co-chairman for many years. He was a lover of all Jews
and a tireless fighter for his constituents, always going above and beyond
in trying to help them. While his presence here tonight is so sorely
missed, his efforts on behalf of Bet El will be felt for years to come.

Upon receipt of the American Friends of Bet ElYeshiva Center?s Shomer
Eretz Yisrael Award, Dr. Frager noted that his aim is to 

?empower what is the most important and hotly?contested enterprise in the
State of Israel today the return of the Jewish people to our biblical heartland of
Judea and Samaria. Bet El stands out as the leading community of this enterprise
in every realm and gives us great hope and promise for a better future for the
Land and Torah of Israel.?

Dr. Frager dedicates his award to the late Michael Simanowitz HUI.

MECHEL 8: SIMA LIEBER

Mechel and Sima Lieber are stalwart members of their community in
Flatbush and strong believers in Bet El Institutions and what they represent.

Mechel is an executive at a design and build ?rm with particular emphasis in
the senior healthcare industry. Sima is ?rst and foremost the mother of their five
children, but in between, launched a successful business in fashion and apparel.
For over a decade, she juggled between the tasks of business and home with
such success, that, she says,

. . .for many years, our children didn?t even know I was working while
parenting.?

Mechel says his heart?lives and lies in Erethisrael.?He and Sima support
the community of Bet El, because it represents two vitally important issues: ?The
community is populated by courageous, Jewish heroes who hold on to these
critical areas the front lines of the struggle for Also, the Bet El
community is centered around accomplished Torah institutions which guard our
borders through a Torah life and Torah way.?

Mechel is a founding member of Congregation Nachalas Yehoshua in
Brooklyn and to this day remains very active, performing many functions on
behalf of the shul, including Baal Koreh. He dedicates several nights a week
studying with unaffiliated Jews in the ?Partners in Torah? initiative and has
helped several along their journey towards mitzvah observance and the
establishment of beautiful, religious families.

Mechel feels strongly that the Orthodox community should express its
talents in a kosher way in the ?eld of the creative arts. He has a number of
original musical compositions that have been commercially published by
popular Jewish singers.

Pushing things further, Mechel recruited a team of amateur and semi-
professional actors and produced the ?rst, kosher, Orthodox comedy series on
the web, Verplank (search in YouTube). Written in a?mockumentary?style, the
show follows a group of Orthodox people from the city as they set out to build a
new model religious community in the?sticks.?

MOSKOWITZ

 

LAURIE MOSKOWITZ HIRSCH

Laurie Moskowitz Hirsch is the eldest child of philanthropists Dr. Irving m:
and Chema Moskowitz from Miami Beach, Florida. The Moskowitzes are builders
of Jewish institutions and housing projects in Judea and Samaria, eastern
Jerusalem, and throughout the country. They have long played a vital and
valorous role in the rebuilding of Israel and the settlement of the Land, and Bet
El Institutions is proud to have partnered with them in the construction of several
projects, including the Cherna Moskowitz Women?s Section of the new and
magnificent Bet Midrash completed in 2016.

Dr. Irving and Chema Moskowitz were among the ?rst supporters of the
Gush Emunim movement to settle the newly-liberated regions of Judea and
Samaria (the West Bank) after the 1967 Six?Day War. Laurie?s first trip to Israel
with her parents in 1968 changed the course of her life.

That initial trip ignited her with a ?ame for Israel and, in particular for the
pioneers of Judea and Samaria. Laurie was impressed with the idealistic people,
?imbued with a vision to build up the barren hills of the region.? She noted, 
will never forget the beauty and astonishment of visiting these small, budding,
makeshift communities established by the ?rst settlers of Judea and Samaria.?

In 1971, she returned for university first in Haifa and then Hebrew University
in Jerusalem. When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Laurie left university to
volunteer, and soon after, got married and stayed in Israel until 1979.

After the destruction of Gush Katif in 2005, Dr. Irving and Cherna
Moskowitz stepped in to sustain the expellees in different ways, and ultimately to
build new communities. Laurie visited the communities that her parents built.
Her connection with the residents of these communities was intense because
their needs were so great.

?One of the most important things to me over the years is the direct
connection to the people settling the land.?

Laurie became the emissary to visit communities. She travelled to some of the
distant places such as Maskiot on a back road in the JordanValley and Akko on
behalf of her parents.

?You haven?t lived until you?ve gone to visit these people who are living a life
of sacri?ce, yet always have a smile on their faces. These are the things that
connect me so deeply. Ihave such deep respect for the settlers.?

?My connection to the Land is much more intimate than a political struggle.
When I lived in Israel, I hiked all over the country. To every place that I came,
there was a mind?body?spiritual connection. It starts from the Tanach and
extends to today. It?s a different connection than in Miami or Colorado. In Israel, I
sense a deep belonging.?

The Moskowitz family mission focuses on Jewish sovereignty over the land as
the most important part of philanthropy. They are ?rm believers of the
importance of settlement of Judea and Samaria. Laurie and her entire family are
committed to the continuation of the work of her parents.

American Friends of Bet El Yeshiva Center is proud to partner with the
Moskowitzes and to grant Laurie the Bet El Builders Medallion.

BET INSTITUTIONS

BET EL

Situated on the once barren hills guarding the northern
approaches to Jerusalem, Bet E1 has grown into a model
community based on Torah ideals and dedicated to a
secure future for our children.

The idealistic men, women, and children of Bet El are the
vanguard of the settlement, the building and the defense
of the Land of Israel. They are pioneers, not only in
strengthening our roots in Judea and Samaria, but also in
creating a dynamic and influential educational center.

Where jewish History Began
And Iewish Life Continues to Thrive.

 

 

NEW FOR 2017

2017 is a year of construction starts for Bet El Institutions.
Facing a new policy of zero condemnations from the US State Department, Bet El is not wasting a minute.

Gluck IDF Preparatory
Academy

In response to the increased demand of students wanting
to attend, the GLUCK IDF PREPARATORY ACADEMY
will be constructing a new campus totaling 43,000 square
feet and consisting of two enormous edifices that will house
an additional 70 cadets, bringing the total student body to
200. Students study for 5 months prior to enlisting in elite
units in the army. The campus is moving locations in order
to make room for 100 of the 800 new homes the Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu approved to build in Bet El.
The cost of construction which includes a Beit Midrash
with classrooms as well as a dormitory with a dining hall
and fitness facility is $12 millionBet El?s Bnei Tzvi Yeshiva High School

The continued success of the BET EL BOYS YESHIVA HIGH SCHOOL necessitates an addition of three new
wings to the dormitory and 80 more beds. Boasting high achievements in both secular and Hebrew studies, the
Yeshiva enrolls students like Elkana Friedman, winner of last year?s International Bible Competition for Youth.
Launched in March, construction of the new wings should be finished by summer 2018.

The cost of construction is $2,500,000.
