Six distinguished Long Islanders will be honored for their longtime service to AMIT and its 34,000 children at this year’s Greater Long Island Gala, on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 6:30 pm at the Sephardic Temple in Cedarhurst.

Haft, a member of the Midreshet AMIT class of 2017, will present a dvar Torah. Midreshet AMIT in Jerusalem is a post-high school program that combines a year of intensive Jewish studies and working with foster children.
