JCC Future is Brilliant
I
t has been such a pleasure to be able to spend
the last several months at JCC MetroWest.
Many years ago my family and I spent three
months in Israel for a JCCA Executive Seminar. During this adventure I had quite a bonding experience with one of the true visionaries
of our JCC field.
Jack Boeko and I shared a special bond.
We both loved theater and the arts, and we
both wrote and produced plays. He was a mentor, one of my most respected colleagues, and
a friend. “JCC MetroWest” was synonymous
with greatness!
The future for this historic JCC is sure to
be as brilliant as ever. Supporting this JCC, and
supporting tonight’s Gala, allows numerous
children to experience a joyful summer, or a top
rated pre-school, or our amazing after school
programs, despite their families’ financial capabilities. A gift to scholarships allows us to offer
unique programs to seniors at affordable prices.
And, one of the state’s premiere special needs
programs cannot exist without your support.
There is so much more this JCC does, as
we used to say, “womb to tomb” programming.
JCC MetroWest does it all so well.
Thank you to Dolly and her amazing committee, and to Katy and the fabulous JCC team,
for tonight’s Gala and for bringing the JCC to
the place it is right now. With the new CEO in
place soon, I expect to hear nothing but great
things about the present and the future of JCC
MetroWest.
Its fabulous legacy deserves nothing less.
Mark A. Lit
Interim CEO
Possibilities for
incredible growth...
T
o the JCC MetroWest Family:
Thank you for inviting me to share a few
thoughts in this Tribute Journal.
My connection to Jewish community and
Jewish life goes back as far as I can remember—
from putting coins in our family’s “pushkie”
every Shabbat, to buying JNF trees in Israel,
to participating in youth groups like BBYO
and Young Judea, to teaching Sunday School
when I was in graduate school. I even met my
wife when she and I staffed BBYO’s Summer
Programs at Camp B’nai B’rith Perlman in
Starlight, PA—she as a song leader, and me as
“Head Schlepper.”
Throughout my adult life, I have continued
to be an active participant in the Jewish community—not just as a Jewish communal professional, but also as a volunteer. Long before
I began working in the Jewish world, I served
as a Federation volunteer, as a board member
of Jewish Family Service and our local Jewish
METROWEST NEWS 2
day school, and even as president of my synagogue. In fact, it was my passion for Jewish
community that initially compelled me to make
the career transition from for-profit healthcare
executive to JCC executive sixteen years ago—a
passion that has continued to grow ever since.
As I anticipate my “official” arrival in
MetroWest in a few short weeks, I am excited
about the possibilities that lay ahead—possibilities for incredible growth, increased engagement and participation, inspiring and innovative programming, and wonderful opportunities
for us to “do Jewish,” learn, have fun, and build
community together.
I am grateful for the chance to be a part of
this vibrant Jewish community, and I look forward to meeting, getting to know, and working with all of you in the months and years to
come.

Dedicated volunteers and staff
I
have had the immense pleasure and honor
of chairing the JCC MetroWest Gala 2016
Committee, made up of incredible volunteers and staff who show continued dedication
and commitment to our JCC. I have worked
closely with this committee over the past several
months. Every detail we discussed and decision
we made had a direct impact on the success
of this event and ultimately on those the JCC
serves in the Jewish community.
I would like to thank our honorees of course,
who inspired the theme of this event, L’Dor
V’Dor, From Generation to Generation. We are
especially proud that these three honorees, Marilyn and Lester Bornstein; Flo Peck (of blessed
memory), her husband, Tom, and family; and
Amelia and Cory Perlstein, have graciously
accepted the honor for this year’s Gala. They
represent multiple generations and are proof
positive of the reach of our JCC community.
As Chair, I have worked with some Com-
mittee members whom I’ve known for many
years. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting new
individuals along the way. I thank the entire
Committee of close to 50 volunteers who felt
that the time dedicated to ensuring the success of
this event was time well spent. Your efforts and
commitment were inspiring.
I would like to highlight particularly the
efforts of a few individuals who made my job a
pleasant and rewarding one. Thank you to our
two Honorary Chairs, Judith Lieberman and
Sharon and Stephen Seiden, who, through their
continued leadership and unyielding support,
demonstrate the true qualities of community
leadership. A community cannot thrive without
individuals like these who believe in the mission
and goals of JCC MetroWest.
I would also like to thank JCC Board Chair
Larry Rein, who reached out to me to chair this
event, and each of the Sub-Committee Chairs,
Diana Ackerman, Barbara Birnbaum, Felice
Flitt, and Sharon Gordon, who helped us
concentrate on specific targets and ensured that
we presented the JCC in the best possible light.
No committee is complete without the
support of staff members who are willing to go
beyond their job description to ensure the success of an event. First, a great big thank you to
Katy Strulson, who made my job such a pleasure and truly was my right hand throughout a
process of countless details and many decisions.
Many thanks to Mark Lit, Marcy Burach, our
graphic artist Mindy Schultz, Sharon Gordon,
Justine Klein, and Jen Helprin. Without them,
my task would have been overwhelming.
Here’s to a successful Gala! May we raise
the necessary scholarship funds to allow all who
wish to participate in vital JCC MetroWest
programs the ability to enter our doors.
Dolly Luwisch
Chair, JCC Gala 2016
Livingston, New Jersey
Our JCC is a vibrant agency
D
ear Friends:
It gives me great pleasure to welcome
you to the JCC MetroWest Gala. This
event provides an opportunity to reflect on the
importance of the JCC in each of our lives, while
recognizing three amazing families who play an
integral part on a daily basis.
Our JCC is a vibrant, welcoming, inclusive
and growing agency that is grounded in Jewish
beliefs and values. We play a major role in so
many facets of Jewish life, from Early Childhood, to Camp Deeny Riback, senior programming, Jewish education, arts, fitness, special
needs programs, and so much more.
There is no question that JCC MetroWest
is the central address for the MetroWest Jewish
community. I love walking into the JCC during
the day and seeing the diversity of ages and people partaking in the myriad programs -- little
children with big smiles joining the Early Childhood program, seniors enjoying lunch or getting
on a bus to visit a new museum, people running
to catch a fitness class or sitting and schmoozing
in the Café. The excitement is palpable and puts
a big smile on everyone’s face as they enter the
building to be part of the “J.”
This evening we are pleased to recognize
Marilyn & Lester Bornstein, Flo Peck z”l and
family, and Amelia & Cory Perlstein.
Is there one day that goes by when you will
not see Marilyn and Lester at the JCC? They are
the poster family that has dedicated their lives to
the JCC. They “love” all programs and we love
seeing them every day. They are role models for
all of us. We should stay as young and vibrant as
the Bornsteins.
Flo Peck’s name is synonymous with the
JCC. For 20 plus years, she was the face of the
“J.” There was not one person who entered the
building who did not know Flo. She drove the
vision and was the inspiration for so many programs. I am so pleased that Tom Peck and family have agreed to allow us to honor Flo tonight,
plus name the new Camp Deeny Riback pool,
the Flo Peck Pool. She loved the entire JCC, but
truly loved camp. This honor is such a perfect
way to keep her memory alive. Thank you, Peck
Family, for sharing Flo with us all those years.
We know the future of the JCC is extremely
bright with the wonderful leadership of Amelia
and Cory Perlstein. I have worked with many
young leaders, but this team surpasses them all.
Dedication, inspiration, drive, involvement, caring, loving, generous, and the list just goes on
and on.
I have the pleasure of working mostly with
Amelia, and it is the shining moments of my
day. Amelia has never said “no” to any challenge,
task, project or initiative. She completes all
projects with sophistication and grace and is
always successful. I am truly indebted to Amelia
for her desire to move the JCC to the next levels
of success.
Cory and Amelia are a true JCC family,
since they met at Camp Deeny Riback, married
many years later, and now their children attend
camp. What a great story!! Of course, the apple
does not fall far from the tree, since Sharon and
Steve Seiden, Amelia’s parents, are the most
dedicated leaders of the JCC.
Thank you to Sharon and Steve Seiden and
Judy Lieberman for serving as our Honorary
Gala Chairs and helping us meet our financial
goals.
A “special thank you” to Dolly Luwisch, the
ultimate Gala Chair and Past Chair of the JCC
Board, and Katy Strulson, the pinnacle of an
amazing professional, for leading this important
initiative.
Many thanks to the entire Gala Committee
for making this evening a landmark event in the
history of the JCC.
Thank you to everyone for attending
and giving so generously to our home, JCC
MetroWest.

Chair, Board of Directors

COVER STORY: INDIVIDUALS CITED!
EXCLUSIVE
BY BARBARA
BIRNBAUM and
DOLLY LUWISCH
JCC METROWEST
This evening we honor
Marilyn and Lester
Bornstein for their longstanding dedication to the
MetroWest Jewish community and commitment
to JCC MetroWest.
MARILYN AND LESTER
BORNSTEIN
Lester Bornstein is
one of the founders of
the Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey, which
has provided funding for
many critical projects at
JCC MetroWest, in the
MetroWest Jewish community, and in the community at large. Most
recently, the Healthcare
Foundation funded construction of the JCC’s new
restrooms and renovation
of our theater, making
both facilities accessible to
the handicapped and creating important resources
for our vibrant Margulies Senior Center. Lester
was President of Newark
Beth Israel Medical Center from 1968 to 1996,
during which time he
served as President of both
METROWEST NEWS 4
the New Jersey Hospital
Association and the Essex
County Hospital Association. Under Lester’s leadership, the Beth provided
free medical services to liberated Jewish immigrants
arriving from Russia. A
veteran of both World War
II and the Korean War,
Lester is a survivor of the
Battle of the Bulge and was
awarded two Bronze Stars
for valor over five World
War II campaigns. He
was charged with opening
a 250-bed station hospital
in Sasebo, Japan during the
Korean War, where he was
serving during the birth
of his and Marilyn’s first
child.
Marilyn, who has been
a fixture in the JCC’s Lifelong Learning program
and denizen of our water
aerobics classes, is also a
published author, having
been bitten by the writing
bug in a JCC creative writing class. After 12 years of
writing and rewriting, her
novel, Hold Fast the Time,
was published in 2004.
She has given readings to
many local organizations,
including the JCC’s Lifelong Learning program
and congregants of B’nai
Shalom.
Marilyn was an elementary school teacher
before becoming a fulltime mom to their three
children, and she later
resumed teaching in the
West Orange public
schools, retiring in 1989.
She re-invented herself in
1994, when she earned a
graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy
and started her own family
practice. Marilyn has been
a member of the board
of the Lifelong Learning
program and has been an
active participant at the
JCC in our gym and pool.
The Bornsteins are
active members of B’nai
Shalom in West Orange
and have three accomplished offspring: Dr.
Aura Kuperberg, who has
developed and headed for
27 years a lauded program
for adolescents with cancer
at Los Angeles Children’s
Hospital, for which she was
awarded the Humanitarian
Award; Dr. Michael Oren,
who has served as Israel’s
Ambassador to the United
States, is now a member
of Knesset, and has written three award-winning
books; Karen Angrist, a
social worker in charge of
the geriatric floor at Valley
Hospital in Ridgewood,
NJ, who was awarded Valley Hospital’s Legend of
the Year designation. Their
lives are further enriched
by nine grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren.
Flo Peck, of blessed memory, and the Peck Family
for their longstanding dedication to the MetroWest
Jewish community and
committed service to JCC
MetroWest.
FLO PECK Z”L AND
THE PECK FAMILY
Flo Peck was the gatekeeper of the JCC for 23
years, serving as Executive
Assistant to four different
JCC Executive Directors.
Flo was the embodiment
of JCC organizational
history, had the answer to
every question, and was
the “secret sauce” that
streamlined all tasks. Her
institutional knowledge,
competence, and smiling face were cherished
by JCC staff, lay leaders,
and members alike. Flo’s
encouragement, inspiration, and support of those
around her are irreplaceable. Outside the JCC, Flo
served on the Education
Committee of the Pine
Brook Jewish Center and
held leadership positions in
local school parent-teacher
organizations for many
years, including running
weekend enrichment programs for young children.
Tom Peck and his
family have made a leadership gift in Flo’s memory for our new swimming
pool at JCC Camp Deeny
Riback. Flo’s dedication to
children and Jewish camping will be memorialized
this summer with the naming of CDR’s new Flo Peck
Pool. Tom Peck has served
on the Chevra Board of the
Pine Brook Jewish Center
and since 2011 has been
a member of the Board
of the New Jersey Jewish
News. His secular community service has included
serving on the Board of
the MFM Association, a
national organization servicing the media industry.
Tom has served as CFO of
both U.S. News & World
Report and the New York
Daily News for many years.
Since August 2015, he has
served as SVP of Planning
of both companies.
Flo and Tom have
three wonderful sons,
Michael, Geoffrey, and
Jason, three wonderful
daughters-in-law, and five
outstanding grandchildren.
Amelia and Cory Perlstein, committed young
leaders in the MetroWest
community and at JCC
MetroWest.
AMELIA AND CORY
PERLSTEIN
Amelia is a graduate of the Arthur Borinsky Young Leadership
Development Program of
the Jewish Federation of
Greater MetroWest and
currently serves on the
JCC Board of Trustees and
its Executive Committee.
A dedicated and tireless
leader and worker, Amelia
has served critical roles on
the JCC’s Camp, Camp
Alumni, and Mitzvah
Moments Committees, as
well as on the Early Childhood Parent Committee.
As Chair of the JCC Special Needs Committee,
Amelia has been actively
involved in multiple successful events that have
raised needed funds while
rallying the community
CONTINUED ON PAGE 4
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3
around our special needs
programs.
Amelia and Cory both
grew up in our MetroWest community, attending the JCC’s pre-school
and day camp, then known
as Flanders Country Day
Camp. A true JCC couple,
Amelia served on Don’t
Just Sit There, the JCC’s
teen social action committee at the time, while Cory
co-chaired the JCC Teen
Council. Amelia attended
the JCCA Biennial Convention Teen Leadership
Institute in New York City
in 1994, where she was
the recipient of the JCCA
Youth Leadership Award.
Not surprisingly, the Perl-
steins’ two older children
attend JCC Camp Deeny
Riback, where Amelia and
Cory not only went as children, but where they also
first met as CDR counselors twenty years ago.
Amelia is a graduate
of the University of Rochester and has a Masters in
Special Education from
the Bank Street College
in New York City, while
Cory graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School
and is a Senior Principal
at Och-Ziff Real Estate
where he has worked since
2003. Their children Talia
and Seth attend Golda
Och Academy in West
Orange and are graduates
of the JCC’s pre-school,
where Eliana is currently
in the twos program. The
Perlsteins are members
of B’nai Shalom in West
Orange.
WE WANT YOU!
A community isn’t a success without the participation of its members.
Help us keep our JCC as the heart of our community. There are so
many opportunities for you to get involved and WE WANT YOU!

And
THANK YOU
To all of our generous contributors
Who enabled JCC MetroWest to make our
new Camp Deeny Riback Pool a reality.
I am so pleased that we are
naming the pool “The Flo Peck Pool.”
Flo’s name is synonymous with JCC Metrowest.
She was the single thread that kept the JCC running for decades
The naming of the pool in her memory is so fitting,
since camp and swimming were her favorite areas of the JCC.
Thank you to the entire Peck family for letting us honor her memory.
Special Kudos to the Pool committee for turning a “dream into reality!”
