Lemor and Shuki Greer played an integral role in building up the Pico Shul community before they were even married. As passionate and dedicated volunteers, they helped run services, programs and recruit participants. After they married, Lemor and Shuki have become role-models for others in their pursuit of Jewish learning in Israel, maintaining emunah in the face of tragedy, and active participation in communal life. We salute the Greers as not only dedicated leaders at Pico Shul, but future leaders of the entire Jewish community.
Pico Shul only exists, thanks to the generosity of a handful of families and supportive organizations and individuals. Without their support, encouragement, time and dedication, none of what Pico Shul has achieved in these short years would have been possible. May God bless them with an outpouring of Divine favor in spiritual and material realms, and may they continue to inspire Jewish life, learning and community in Los Angeles, and around the world.
Rebbitzin Rachel loves old posters. Especially travel related posters, which serve as the inspiration for many of the graphics for her major programs for the last decade. The Dinner Party is no exception.
Rachel searched for graphics that would help capture the feel for the event, and then she adapts the poster graphics using a detailed and very lengthy re-rendering together with our graphic designer.
After working with our current designer for more than five years, they are able to produce what Rachel is looking for and the entire process takes a short amount of time.
Here is the poster that inspired The Dinner Party.
After Eddie Fox had a chance to tell the fundraising team about creating a unique dinner event for to support Pico Shul, we sat down to conceptualize what would make this dinner special. We wanted to find a way to deliver the highest possible dinning experience, while keeping our costs to an absolute minimum. For every dollar that would be spent on the dinner, would be one less dollar to help the cause.
We decided to look for venues, chefs, suppliers and designers that could keep all our costs low. Additionally, we wanted a venue with full cooking facilities. This way, Rabbi Yonah can provide the kosher supervision and further reduce costs. The more that could be found at no or minimal cost – the better.
Making toasts at your table is a key part of the Dinner Party.
Except for the food – there would be no compromise on quality and taste.
Thanks to Fox’s experience with his supper club, he has an extensive network of gourmet chefs and great venues. He approached some of his chefs with the concept – and thankfully we were able to find four super-star chefs who are practically donating their time to make this event happen. Additionally, The Mark has helped us by making the venue, which has all the tables, chairs and other supplies we need — available at reduced cost. Most importantly, they are allowing us access to the facility for two days at the end of January. Yes, two days.
With Chefs, venue and date nailed down, Rebbitzin Rachel set about creating the graphics with our designer. She discovered an old poster from a 1930’s agricultural event in Detroit, Michigan and this served — pardon the pun — as the inspiration for the graphics that you see today.
