A decade ago, when Robert Morgenthau retired from his 35-year position as Manhattan District Attorney, the Museum of Jewish Heritage had an exhibit on his family’s outsize role in American politics and Jewish history. The wing of the museum hosting the exhibit, which was titled “The Morgenthaus: A Legacy of Service,” also carries the family’s name.

Twenty-four years after the terror attacks of September 11, the Jewish community of Kew Gardens Hills gathered at the Young Israel for an evening of reflection, unity, and remembrance. Hosted by Talkline CEO Zev Brenner, the memorial brought together civic leaders, clergy, and residents to honor the victims and reaffirm the city’s resilience.

A Magnificent Beginning To Every Life Story

How some moments fleet away, like a fading dream or the dissipating dew? As we draw close to life’s monumental decisions, we celebrate them and cherish the opportunity to start on a beautiful note. In such circumstances, the setting can make all the difference for those memories we fondly recall. Treasured time, a Castle straight off the pages of a fairy tale; these are amongst the experiences promised by Legacy Castle. We interview the team at this truly remarkable place in the hopes of giving our readers a chance to imagine the upper limits of their special celebrations.

As we enter the Yamim Nora’im, a time of t’shuvah, t’filah, and tz’dakah, we are reminded that every blessing in our lives comes from Hashem. This is a time to examine our actions, strengthen our emunah, and return with sincerity to Hashem.
