This Memorial Day, we remember the Jewish Americans who have proudly served and sacrificed for this country.

Did you know that more than 50 Jewish Americans have earned the Congressional Medal of Honor? Among them was Sergeant Tibor "Ted" Rubin — a Holocaust survivor who immigrated to America and served in the Korean War. Captured as a POW, he risked his own life to protect and feed his fellow prisoners — embodying the Jewish value of pikuach nefesh, the sanctity of human life.

Today we honor his courage and the courage of all who served. זיכרונם לברכה — May their memories be a blessing. 🇺🇸✡️

40 and fabulous — that's our Ashley Mills! 🎉 Ashley pours her whole heart into everything she does at Beth Yeshurun, from programming for our youngest children to leading seniors on a casino trip. We could go on and on about how much she means to our CBY family — but her aunt said it best:

And Ashley — forty, sharp and wise,
With quick bright thoughts and watchful eyes,
The kind of mind we all admire
Alive with humor, warmth, and fire.

No detail ever slips away,
She'll quote the joke from yesterday,
Remember stories, dates, and more
The things the rest of us ignore.

Then comes mahjong, and all take heed,
For Ashley's got the skill and speed,
She reads the tiles with calm precision,
A masterclass in quick decision.

Happy 40th, Ashley — we are so grateful for you! 🎂✨
