Jason and Kimberly (Green) Mayer's (Class of '98) Baby was born on Feb 13th (Rosh Chodesh ADAR) and we were very happy to attend the Brit in the Young Israel of New Hyde Park, on Wed Feb 20th, the 8th of Adar. The baby was named Mordechai Shmuel - Scott Michael Mayer (after both great-grandfathers).
Good friends came to celebrate.. (L-R) Charles Isler, Jeff Wirtheim, Steve Isler, Josh Fisch, Adam Dayan, Jason Nadel, little Moshe and Rabbi Mendel.. The newborn Mayer Baby, just after his Brit, and his father's great speech (sorry the speech picture didn't come out well..)
Waiting for the Bagels.. Mark Goodman, Mike Magzamen, little Moshe and Rabbi Mendel and Jason Spitzer. In the synagogue lobby: (L-R) Faith Zuckerberg and Josh Fisch (soon to be married on 3/10) Anony and Alyssa, Nadine Kochavi and Rani.
   
Gregg and Shara (Magot) Gilbert's (Class of '99) Baby was born in Eretz Yisroel on Sunday, Adar 5, (Feb 17th) and the Brit was held on Sunday, the 12th of Adar, in Jerusalem!!

Yosef is the name of Gregg's maternal grandfather (the yartzait is just a few days prior to his great-grandson's birth) and Aryeh (Lion) is named for a famous, beloved righteous Rabbi of Jerusalem - Rabbi Aryeh Levine of blessed memory. (Don't forget RZA (Gregg was very involved with at SUNYA) symbol is a young lion..) For more pictures of the Gilberts in Israel,
