Sandy Weill Speaks at JHP/JBNNY
Sanford Weill, former chairman of Citigroup, one of the last classic deal makers who rewrote history on Wall Street, when asked who his mentors were, stressed during his remarks at the JHP/JBN New York event last week, “they were all dreamers.” Sonny Werblin, who started the AFL, Isaac Stern’s relentless performance with the Israel Philharmonic during the Iraq war, Israel & lastly his wife of 52 years.

Sandy also valued being around smart people as President Ford included in his cabinet Henry Kissinger & Alan Greenspan. Sandy, working with his employees, realized that they make mistakes and that was alright because they can learn from them & correct them later.

Another dreamer, Albert Einstein, said, “Imagination is much more important than knowledge,” & the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson rekindled Judaism beyond anyone’s imagination. JHP is constantly succeeding in linking college kids to their heritage continuing in thoughts paved by these former luminaries.

Rebbitzen Esther Jungreis Speaks at Penn

Rebbitzen Jungreis, a holocaust survivor, who has achieved acclaim as an outspoken proponent of Torah Judaism and an author of 3 best sellers, speaks to a SRO crowd on Penn’s campus. The audience was a mixed crowd of students and other men & women. Her oratory was captivating, breathtaking, enlightening and at times overpowering.

In her own words, she said that nothing happened on 9/11 that did not happen before. In the last seconds of that heinous tragedy, 1000s of people left the same message that was recorded for posterity. They all said, “I love you.” When life is stripped down to its essence, relationships with other persons are what matters.

There are 3 aspects to life: life is precious, every minute counts and what you do matters. The torah has so much to tell us and tell us how to have a wonderful life. The Rebbetzen gave each person a signed copy of her latest book, “Life Is A Test.”
