David Harris, thank you for organizing this great 100th anniversary event. You understand the importance of our community and work tirelessly for our mutual benefit.

-Alex Koifman (Boston)

I can recall several conferences dedicated to the phenomena of “Soviet Jews in America” where presenters were telling the world outside what they’ve learned about our community.   The AJCommittee centennial conference was markedly different – it allowed our community leaders to examine our future within a much broader context of change in the American Jewish world.

-Boris Gorbis (Los Angelos)

Sam, You were able to achieve something that will definitely become a historic beginning for Russian American Jews. It was a gathering of the most interesting people in one place at one time!

-Gary Light, Esq. (Chicago)

Thank you for organizing this event. You have provided the tools, knowledge and motivation. It is now up to me to take what I have learned and pass it on to my peers.

-Gennady Yanovsky (San Francisco)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my experiences.  I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the country that are involved in a very important cause.  Keep up the great work.

-Gene Rachmansky (New York)

Dear Sam, we would have never implemented our ambitious plans without your professional leadership.   Let’s approach it as our Russian American Jewish Bar-Mitzvah.
