Dear Friends: I am delighted to extend warm greetings to everyone attending the National Rabbinic Centennial Medallion Awards Dinner sponsored by the Orthodox Union. I am pleased to offer my congratulations to tonight’s honorees, Rabbi Shmuel Goldin, Rabbi Alvin M. Marcus, and all of the recipients of the Orthodox Union Centennial Medallion Award. They can be proud of the energetic service, commitment, and contributions to the Jewish community that have earned for them this special recognition. I join with their families, friends, and colleagues in saluting this evening’s honorees and in applauding their achievements. My best wishes to all for a memorable celebration. Sincerely yours, Governor Christine Todd Whitman.
