Dear Friends,
Mazel Tov!
Ever since my parents, Rabbi Tuvia and Chaya Teldon opened Chabad in
Commack 25 years ago, it has been a place for Jews to come and connect
with all aspects of Judaism. In the past 6 years since Brocha and I moved
here, we have strived to build on their hard work and bring the beauties of
our tradition to all those who we encounter.
Thank you for coming tonight and celebrating not only our growth but even
more so, the commitments and friendships of all those involved.
I congratulate Ken, Carol, Andrew, Mark and Robbin for their well deserved
honors and thank them for their commitment until today. I look forward to
celebrating many more beautiful occasions together.
Friends, words alone cannot adequately express the feelings of gratitude I feel
towards each and every one of you whom I have had the privilege of getting
to know over the past 6 years. Thank you for your friendship and support.
Thank you for joining forces with us in our efforts to create a warm,
welcoming and vibrantly growing community. Thank you for all that you do
to help Chabad grow and reach out to yet another fellow Jew.
As we celebrate tonight, put your hand on your shoulder and pat yourself on
the back. For YOU are Chabad and the success is yours!
Thank you,

community. chabad of mid-suffolk. warm.
C habad of Mid-Suffolk has become a popular center for Jews of all backgrounds who want to learn more about
their Jewish roots. Located in the heart of Commack, NY, Chabad offers a wide variety of educational and spiritual
opportunities, including Torah classes and lectures, Shabbat dinners, and an array of family and social activities.
Traditional Jewish values are brought to life in a joyous, non-judgmental atmosphere.
Chabad serves all segments of the Jewish community. Everyone is welcome regardless of their personal level of
religious observance. The philosophy is in keeping with the Chabad-Lubavitch approach of joy, scholarship and
unconditional acceptance and love for every Jew.
Chabad is under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Mendel Teldon, a warm, caring and energetic individual,
who grew up in Commack and since taking the position as Rabbi, has brought a new level of energy and color to
the local community. The rabbi’s approach is that Torah must be presented and experienced in a modern, relevant
context and made available to each individual on their own level.
Programing, under the directorship of Mrs. Brocha Teldon, always have that extra touch to make all people of all
backgrounds at home and inspired. Her ability to make the age old customs so relevant and contemporary has
everyone returning again and again.
The Hebrew School Program, under the talented leadership of Gilllie Schanowitz, translates the Chabad warmth
and spirit to the youngsters. The children actually look forward to attending Hebrew School, where they are taught,
in addition to Hebrew reading and writing, the meaning of our rich Heritage and the joys if being Jewish.
Outings, contests and celebrations add an exciting dimension to the program.
The services are traditional, and are conducted in a joyous, casual atmosphere. Children are included and most
welcome. Many of those who attend cannot read Hebrew, yet everyone feels at home. The prayer book is bi-lingual
and various English readings are included in the service. Song and commentary add meaning and participation to
the prayers.
Please allow yourself the opportunity to visit and participate in our vibrant congregation. By becoming a member
at Chabad of Mid-Suffolk you will acquire lifelong friendships, an opportunity for spiritual growth, and most
importantly a chance to be a part of your Jewish community. Please feel free to visit us for services or any other
program, or just stop in to say hello.

Ken & Carol Laffer
Ken Laffer is the CEO of Motivators, Inc, a full service Promotional Products Company.
He is married to his wife Carol for 32 years, and they have a daughter Kimberly.
Ken grew up living with his family and maternal grandmother,
who was an Orthodox Jew from Eastern Europe. His grandmother only spoke Yiddish,
so he is and will always feel comfortable being Jewish.
While the family now resides in both Commack and Boca Raton Florida, they have
a warm spot in their heart and are always ready to help Chabad grow and prosper.
The family believes that every child, regardless of financial ability, needs to have the
opportunity to be Bar Mitzvah and discover what is to be Jewish, and have yiddishkeit.

Andrew Glick
Andrew Glick has been a financial security planner with Northwestern Mutual for 16 years.
He and his wife, Wendy, have lived in East Northport for 10 years.
They are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. Andrew’s twin children, Arielle and
Jason, are 16 years old and graduates of the Chabad of Mid-Suffolk Hebrew School.
After moving to their new home, Andrew met Rabbi Tuvia Teldon at a Jewish fair at the JCC
in Commack. Andrew asked the Rabbi if he would help put up mezuzahs at his new home.
Rabbi Teldon said “Would you like to do it the right way?” Andrew responded, absolutely!
Sixteen mezuzahs later, Andrew knew he had finally made a Jewish home for his family.
A few years later, Andrew met Rabbi Tuvia Teldon’s eldest son,
Rabbi Mendel Teldon and his new wife, Brocha. They were deciding whether to move to
Commack, New York to take over the Chabad of Mid-Suffolk or to Sydney Australia.
After a few meetings with Andrew and Wendy as well as others in the community,
they thankfully made the choice to come to Commack.
Shortly after Rabbi Mendy and Brocha took over the Chabad of Mid-Suffolk,
the Glick’s moved their children to the Chabad Hebrew School. At that time there were
12 students in the Hebrew school. Through hard work and great programming,
Chabad of Mid-Suffolk now has over 100 students.
