Gateways honors area residents with sweet sounds
Local residents including the Ruderman Family of Brookline will be honored at an annual fund-raiser to benefit Gateways: Access to Jewish Education in Newton. ‘‘Sweet Sounds: An Afternoon of Jazz & Chocolate’’ will take place next Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. at Congregation Mishkan Tefila in Chestnut Hill.
The Ruderman Family Foundation will be recognized for its longtime support of Jewish and other organizations, especially those involving special education. The foundation consists of parents Mort and Marcia Ruderman, who live in Brookline, Gloucester, and Florida; Sharon and Rony Shapiro of Brookline; Jay (president of the foundation) and Shira Ruderman of Israel; and Todd and Liz Ruderman of Florida.
Also, Eliana Lipsky of Brookline will receive the organization’s Samuel A. Nemzoff Book Prize. Lipsky, who teaches seventh- and eighth-grade history and Tanakh (Bible), is in her fifth year at the Jewish Community Day School in Watertown. The prize honors a teacher in a participating Gateways Jewish day school who incorporates differentiated instruction in daily interactions with students.
The nonprofit Gateways: Access to Jewish Education provides and supports Jewish special education in day schools, congregational and community preschools and Hebrew schools, and supplemental programs. For more information about the fund-raiser, call 617-630-9010 or go to www.jgateways.org.
