We’ll be back at Shirat Hayam, 700 N. Swarthmore Ave. in Ventnor. As in the past, please enter the synagogue from the left side entrance near the library and chapel.
All those planning to attend should be fully vaccinated. It will be the honor system. Everyone is required to wear a mask.
Here is a bit about Shy:
“I was born and raised in Detroit Michigan and graduated from Michigan State University in 1953, where I met met my wife Janet. I received my army commission at the same time as I received my degree.
During the Korean War I served as a Public Information Officer, living and working in Seoul, Korea. After discharge Janet and I settled in Margate and I worked in retail and served as general manager of Garwood Mills, one of the first discount department stores in the country. When Garwood was sold I started my own business of a small chain of health and beauty aids stores.
I was then asked to do marketing for a very large tobacco and candy distributor in New York and eventually left to launch my own marketing company Shy Kramer & Associates. It became a national firm. During that time I founded and served as the publisher of the Jewish Times. I retired when I approached my 90th birthday and I now spend five months in Florida each year.
To give back to the community, I became president of congregation Beth Judah in 1979. I was later president of JFS Jewish Family Service. I am on the board of the Bay Atlantic Symphony and I’m now president of Avoda local scholarship club, which has presented $100,000 in recent years towards students pursuing higher education.”
