Sunday, September 18

Sandler Family Campus, 11:30 am–4 pm

Some are calling it “Super Duper Sunday” because of all of the exciting activity planned for Sunday, September 18 at the Sandler Family Campus. With four events taking place, the phrase “Super Duper” is super appropriate.

Dedication of Marty Einhorn Pavilion

11:30 am–1 pm

The day’s festivities kick off with the dedication of the Marty Einhorn Pavilion with the Jimmy Masters Trio welcoming everyone starting at 11:30 am. The program and lunch begins at noon.

The 2,400-square-foot outdoor structure, which is adjacent to the basketball court on the rear lawn of the Sandler Family Campus, has a front and back patio, benches, picnic tables, and fans to help “beat the heat.” The pavilion has a comfortable seating capacity of 160 people. Lighting for evening events with power and WIFI make it flexible for a variety of uses, including dining, parties, and as it was used all summer, for camp activities.

Alvin Wall and Jeff Chernitzer, Einhorn’s long-time business partners and friends, are serving as the event’s co-chairs.

RSVP to Bobbie Wilcox at bwilcox@ujft.org or 757-965-6124.

B’nai Tzedek

2–4 pm

The outdoor basketball court at the Sandler Family Campus will be the setting for Tidewater Jewish Foundation’s B’nai Tzedek’s Back to School gathering.

The B’nai Tzedek program is a partnership between parents, teens, and TJF that provides an opportunity to create a fund for Jewish charitable giving in the teen’s name.

“We look forward to giving the teens the space to gather together after the pandemic, explore their values, and build leadership skills,” says Naomi Limor Sedek, Tidewater Jewish Foundation president and CEO.

“Our teens join the Jewish community through their Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. While they reach this milestone in their childhood, it is only the beginning of a lifelong journey of engagement,” says Limor Sedek.

During preparation for their B’nai Mitzvot, teens are asked to learn Tefilah, the prayers, and read from the Torah, as well as perform acts of Gimilut Chasadim, acts of loving kindness, through Mitzvah projects. “B’nai Tzedek is the tzedakah path of their journey into Jewish adulthood, preparing for a lifelong engagement with philanthropy,” says Limor Sedek.

B’nai Tzedek teaches young donors how to connect their values to philanthropy, to give thoughtfully, and how to lead their peers confidently in that philanthropic journey.

This is the first time this group has gotten together since the pandemic, so in addition to current Bnai Tzedeks, other teens are invited to join and learn about the program. Teens ages 13–18 are eligible to become B’nai Tzedeks.

For information on B’nai Tzedek, contact Naomi Limor Sedek, president and CEO, Tidewater Jewish Foundation, at 757‑965‑6109 or Nsedek@ujft.org.
