You had to be there to experience the incredible feeling of being a part of something so special and so unique with a sell- out, capacity audience of 950 guests. The event was the Academy’s 80th annual scholarship tribute dinner, held for the first time in the magnificent Atrium of the stately Cleveland Museum of Art. The undisputed
feedback is that the event was beautiful, elegant, heartwarming, enjoyable, and an impressive kiddush Hashem. Tribute was paid to Ivan and Marilyn Soclof; the Alumnus Award was presented to Rabbi Menachem Meisels; and Mr. Gary Gross accepted the Mendy Klein Community Service Award. Chaired by Dr. Louis Malcmacher, attendees were addressed Rabbi Elya Brudny and Mr. Dan Zelman both via video, and by Rabbi Simcha Dessler. The HAC Boys Choir, under the direction of Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Mann and accompanied by internationally acclaimed musical artist, Shulem Lemmer all did a fantastic job. Mr. Lemmer enthralled the audience with an array of Hebrew, Yiddish and English songs while the guests enjoyed dinner and dessert.
