    Attendees break record for lighting menorahsBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    On Dec. 11 The Jewish Center

    of Princeton, with the help ofcongregations and communityresidents, set a Guinness WorldRecord.

    Attendees gathered in a hangarat the Princeton Airport to light834 menorahs to celebrate thefourth night of Chanukah, shat-tering the previous world recordof 782 menorahs lit simultaneous-ly.

    Neil Wise, director of program-ming for The Jewish Center, wasthe principal organizer of theevent. He said the most difficultpart of the process was finding alocation.

    I called all over town, he said.The University said no to theirgym. The Hyatt off Route 1 saidno. Everyone says yes until youtell them how many menorahsyoure lighting. They love it, buttheyre out the second they hearabout the fire.

    Neil said once he connectedwith the owners of the airport,

    the event began to gain momen-tum.

    Its going to be magnificent,he said before the lighting. Evenif we dont get the record, weregoing to have so much fun with it,and thats the point. ItsChanukah and its time for thecommunity to come together.

    The congregation followed theGuinness World Record book ofguidelines for setting the record.

    Im required to have judgesand monitors in the room thatcannot take part in the lighting,Neil said. They oversee the reg-istration process and lighting pro-cedure. Each floor monitor willhave a section of the room theyreresponsible for.

    The official number wasrecorded by 12 judges, a groupthat included prominent commu-nity members, Jewish leaders

    and elected officials.I wanted to find community

    leaders, Neil said. People Ithought would draw numbers. Icouldnt do this with just TheJewish Center. I need the commu-nity and this is a way to honorour leaders, Jewish and non-Jew-ish.

    One of the judges was Liz Lem-pert, mayor-elect of the consoli-dated Princeton.

    Lempert said she was excitedto be a part of the world record at-tempt.

    Ive never been a part of some-thing like this, she said. But Iused to dream about setting aGuinness World Record when Iwas a kid.

    Lempert, who belongs to asmaller area congregation,thought the event was a great wayto bring residents of local com-

    munities together.I think its great that people

    came here from all over, shesaid. And I hope they all go out todinner afterward in DowntownPrinceton and buy something atone of the shops.

    Upon arrival at the hangar,each person went through a regis-tration process, was issued a

    Ben Novik, 7, of Robbinsville,was eager to begin lighting his

    Rabbi Adam Feldman of TheJewish Center spoke to the crowdassembled in the hangar, intro-ducing the judges and thankingthe medical and fire staff. He ledthe crowd in singing prayers as

    they lit the menorah using theshamash, the center candle usedto light the others.

    As the hangar glowed with can-dlelight, a musician played popu-lar Jewish songs and the crowdcelebrated, snapping pictures andsinging along.

    As the holiday season begins to

    wind to a close, we want to

    take this opportunity to thank

    everyone who stepped up to help those

    in need. This time of year usually

    brings out the best in people. Judging

    from the number of announcements

    we received from our readers regard-ing donation drives, it looks like this

    year was no exception.

    This year, Hurricane Sandy created

    a great need in many communities.

    Food banks were running low after

    sending supplies to those communities

    hit hard by the storm. The same with

    those who help with clothing, and even

    toys.

    In many instances, that meant that

    nonprofits and those who work every

    day to help folks who are struggling

    had an even more difficult task. Dona-

    tions, supplies and funds that, in other

    years, went to fill traditional annual

    needs instead went to the storm vic-

    tims. Theres no doubt that even more

    generosity was needed this year than

    in most just to get by.

    Over the past few weeks, we have

    had the pleasure of publishing stories

    about efforts to lend a hand. Indeed,many of these efforts were to help

    those impacted by the storm. But, like

    always, there were the usual Toys for

    Tot drives and more. We dont keep a

    formal count of the number of holiday

    fundraising event stories we publish

    from year to year, but it certainly

    seemed that, in 2012, there were many

    more than in years past.

    So, we thank those individuals andgroups who organized these efforts.

    And, on behalf of them, we also thank

    everyone who picked up an extra can

    of non-perishable food, an additional

    bag of dog food, one more toy and

    more. To all of those who reached a lit-

    tle deeper into their wallets this year to

    help out, your generosity truly made a

    difference.

    We wish everyone a happy holiday

    season and hope for a hurricane-free

    2013.

    in our opinion

    Happy holidays!A thank you to everyone who helped to brighten the season for those in need

    Stepping up

    Hurricane Sandy created an evengreater need for toys, food, clothingand more this holiday season. Judgingfrom the number of donation effortswe saw, local communities really camethrough for those in need.

    Princeton and the Arts Council ofPrinceton are pleased to announce the win-ner of the Logo Design Competition held

    for the consolidated Princeton.The competition, open to all ages, wasconceived to involve the community in cre-ating a simple graphic solution represent-ing the consolidated Princeton.

    Local artists and designers were giventhe opportunity to showcase their creativityby designing a logo that was symbolic inits representation of the new municipality.

    Seventy-five designs were submitted andkept anonymous to the judges. The finaldesign was chosen by a jury of five that in-cluded Mayor Yina Moore, Mayor Chad Go-erner and marketing professional Crystal

    McKenzie, owner, Crystal McKenzie, Inc.The final award-winning design was

    submitted by Jeff Leonard, industrial de-signer and a resident of Princeton for over16 years. Leonard is a graduated fromPhiladelphia College of Art and enjoys

    arts, science, technology, and time withfamily and friends.

    My inspiration was to take the tradi-tional logo and bring it forward to todaysPrinceton, said Leonard.

    With 75 entries, this was a very difficultdecision. What it came down to was theaesthetic appeal, and how it would work inall different applications, remarked Go-erner.

    The three finalists, including the win-ner, will be displayed in the municipalbuilding at 400 Witherspoon Street fromDecember through the reorganization cer-emony on Jan. 1.

    We would like to thank everyone whoparticipated in this competition, and, weenjoyed seeing everyones interpretationsfor the new town of Princeton, comment-

    ed Arts Council of Princeton Executive Di-rector, Jeff Nathanson.

    Feldman Hurwitz asked thecommunity to help save her hus-band.

    He went to the National Insti-tute of Health for a clinical day,Feldman Hurwitz said. Andthats when he was diagnosed. It

    was an emotional moment.Hurwitz was immediately toldhe would need a bone marrowtransplant, but doctors were un-able to find a match in the world-wide donor registry.

    Hurwitz, who is an AshkenaziJew, has Sephardic markers inhis blood that make finding amatch difficult.

    There isnt a big chance offinding a match because there areunique markers in his blood,Felman Hurwitz said. A lot of

    Jews dont realize about their

    own ancestry. You can be anAshkenazi Jew and haveSephardic blood because of mi-grations through Europe throughhundreds of years. Were trying

    to find that obscure match.Feldman Hurwitz planned an

    event for Dec. 16 at the WalkerGordon Farm Clubhouse. She in-vited all community members toattend and be tested as a potentialmatch.

    Theres nothing invasive at allabout the test, she said. Its justa mouth swab for healthy peoplebetween the ages of 18 and 44.

    People who are tested can beentered into the global registry,

    even if they are not a match forHurwitz. Registration can also becompleted online through the Bethe Match organization. The or-ganization sends out free testingkits with instructions for swab-bing cheek cells. Return postageis paid, and anyone who returnsswabs will be automatically en-tered into the global marrow reg-istry.

    I found out there is a hugeneed for minorities in the reg-istry, Feldman Hurwitz said.

    This is my outreach. The

    chances of ever being called to do-nate are not big, but its impor-tant to at least be part of this reg-istry. Youre giving just by givinga moment of your time.

    The testing event at the WalkerGordon Farm was planned withassistance from Icla Da SilvaFoundation Inc., a subsidiary ofthe National Marrow Donor Pro-gram.

    Feldman Hurwitz said shehoped the attendance at the Walk-er Gordon Farm Clubhousewould be high, but she would ap-preciate anyone coming to be test-ed.

    Im a realist, the matches are

    rare, she said. His blood isunique, but this is a unique com-munity, and as the Torah says, ifyou save one person, you save anation.

    Her life journey spans gospel,opera, Broadway and worldstages. In the mid-1980s, shebegan leading a musical groupcalled Julia & Company. Two oftheir singles charted on the UKSingles Chart: "Breakin' Down(Sugar Samba)" and "I'm SoHappy." At the 2009 Wammies,

    Nixon won the Urban Contempo-rary Vocalist Award and her en-semble, Julia & Company, won theUrban Contemporary Duo/GroupAward.

    Julia studied opera and attend-ed the North Carolina School ofthe Arts. Motown then inspiredher. This broad music experiencecontributes to her incredible ver-satility and emotional depth.Julia's artistry, with David

    Ylvisaker, her musical collabora-tor of many years, consistentlygarners praise.

    Her performing venues vary

    from the intimate, renownedBlues Alley in Washington toNew York City's huge Radio City-Music Hall. In 2007, Double DawgRecords worked with Nixon toproduce her own CD, Keepin onTrack, which was considered fora Grammy.

    Ylvisaker is an exceptionallyintuitive musician and composerwho grew up in Cranbury. Hisstyles and influences include Mo-town & Philly soul, Southern

    Rock, Jazz, Classical and Blues.Ylvisaker trained at Berklee Col-lege of Music and then made hisbase in Washington, D.C. wherehe has been performing exten-sively as well as performing na-tionally. His versatility and musi-cianship on a variety of instru-ments, principally keyboard, arewidely praised.

    where he is both music directorand orchestrator. His composi-tions are also widely performedby various artists in concert.

    When Nixon and Ylvisaker metin North Carolina, they immedi-ately clicked as a team. These twoartists have performed togetheron many of the worlds leadingstages, from The Kennedy Centerfor the Performing Arts in DC, toWellfleets Preservation Hall onCape Cod. David fills that stagewith music, says Ms. Nixon.Come to this intimate concert andhear for yourself.

    Business leaders recognized for contributions to Princeton areaFour business leaders were rec-ognized Nov. 28 for their contribu-tions to the Princeton area busi-ness world.

    Being honored as Innovator ofthe Year by this communitymeans a great deal to me. Improud of my innovation 51 yearsago when I offered a test to matchpeople to jobs, which no onethought could be done, said Hon-

    oree Herb Greenberg, founderand CEO of Princeton-basedCaliper. My fondest hope today isthat my innovation related to hir-ing and developing people basedon who they are rather thanwhat theyve done will be ofequal or even more importancethan that initial innovation.

    The honorees accepted theirBusiness Leadership Awards at adinner attended by more than 230business leaders, local officialsand friends held at the Tourna-

    ment Players Club Jasna Polanaon Nov. 28.

    When I started my businessalmost 25 years ago I reliedstrongly on networking to helpme with everything from building

    my customer base to findingfriends I could rely on for busi-ness support and advise, saidEntrepreneur of the Year Geor-gianne Vinicombe, owner ofMonday Morning Flower and Bal-loon Company in Princeton.Fast forward to 2012 and beingnamed Entrepreneur of the Yearis the largest honor I've ever re-ceived. I admire so many of the

    people I've met over the years atthe Princeton Regional Chamber.Knowing that I'll be standing be-fore them to accept the award isboth thrilling and humbling.

    The newest award, CommunityLeader of the Year, is reserved forthe non profit community andpast honorees include NancyKieling of the Princeton AreaCommunity Foundation, LeslieBurger of the Princeton PublicLibrary and Judith and WilliamScheide.

    We feel lucky to have spent 32years at Isles exploring ways tobring meaningful change along-side communities that we respectand love, said this years Com-munity Leader of the Year Mar-

    tin Johnson, executive director ofEwing-based Isles Inc. But ittakes more than an organizationor even a village to raise greatplaces. It takes a region, and busi-ness leaders increasingly knowthat Trentons future and thehealth of central Jersey are

    joined together. That makes usoptimistic even when there aremany reasons to be cynical. I am

    honored to be recognized thisway by the Chamber.Selecting three Innovator of

    the Year, Business Leader of theYear and Community Leader ofthe Year of the four honorees isa thought-provoking process forthe Gala Committee members.Committee members examineand discuss the in-depth applica-tions that are submitted by anominator or the businessesthemselves.

    As we begin the process of se-

    lection each year, we wonder whowe will be honoring. Many meet-ings and discussions take placeabout each of the candidates andtheir organizations looking forthe best match in each category.

    Of course, the Entrepreneur ofthe Year is out of our hands, as itis decided by independent

    judges, said Rick Coyne, co-chair. The main ingredient foreach of the honorees is the per-sistence and hard work that theyeach have put in over the years toattain their success in their vari-ous fields. This event is unique asit takes the business perspective

    of success and celebrates it in apersonal way for each of theaward recipients. We love it whenthey bring their family along tocelebrate!

    Recognizing businesses fortheir contributions to the commu-nity is a Princeton RegionalChamber of Commerce tradition.

    The Annual Business Leader-ship Awards Gala is the Cham-bers premier business recogni-tion event for leadership in ourregion. This recognition is the

    oldest program of the Chamber,dating back to the beginning ofthe Chamber in 1960 and is themost anticipated event of theyear, said Peter Crowley, presi-dent and CEO. This years hon-

    orees represent a cross section ofthe diversity of the businesses werepresent. We are thrilled foreach of our awardees.

    The Princeton Regional Cham-ber of Commerce is a member-ship organization committed topromoting business growth with-in the Princeton Region and sur-rounding areas. With more than1,700 individual contacts and

    more than 880 Member compa-nies, the Princeton RegionalChamber of Commerce member-ship is primarily focused in fivecentral New Jersey counties andstretches as far as New York,Philadelphia and Canada.
