Celebrate the uplifting and joyous holiday of Simhat Torah, where the Torah is the focal point and dancing is encouraged for all.
Join our congregation as we celebrate the contributions of our members, Stacie Schapiro and Peter Bernstein, on Sunday, October 4 at 9:45 am.
Every year, our congregation celebrates the contributions of cherished members for their dedication and commitment to the community.
For Stacie Schapiro, “there’s nothing more important than raising a Jewish family, Israel, and having a community. Park Avenue Synagogue brings that all together.” Since joining PAS with her husband, David, in the early 2000s, Stacie has dedicated her time, energy, and talents to forwarding the synagogue’s mission and building connections between congregants.
Peter Bernstein grew up at Park Avenue Synagogue and has “lived and breathed the organization as a second home since 1985.” His family joined the congregation following a move from the West Side to the East Side of Manhattan when he was four years old, at which point he began attending Thursday morning minyan with his dad. He attended Congregational School and had his Bar Mitzvah at the synagogue. He and his now-wife, Jennifer, held their aufruf at the synagogue, and in December, his eldest son, Ben, celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at PAS.
