The Men’s Club of Temple Beth Israel hosted its annual tribute night Sunday, March 6, honoring member Shirley Fein.

“It’s very exciting and wonderful, but how did it all happen? That they chose me is a great honor.” — Shirley Fein

Fein was recognized for her involvement in both the temple and the community.

“She’s been a long-standing member of the congregation, who’s been very active, participating in many committees, on the board of trustees for many years, and she’s now serving as our financial secretary,” Men’s Club Co-President Bob Vigder said. “She’s done a lot for us and deserves to be recognized.”

The night began with a reception followed by a ceremony that included performances and speeches by those close to her.
