David Morgenstern, prominent Hebrew scholar and president of the Herzliah Hebrew Teachers Training Institute, was honored tonight at a dinner in the Pierre Hotel in recognition of his 25 years of “dedicated service to the furtherance of Hebrew education.”
Mr. Morgenstern was presented with an illuminated scroll by Abraham Goodman, who, with his brother Jacob, recently donated $1, 000, 000 to the Tarbuth Foundation for Hebrew Culture. The Herzliah institute will receive $750, 000 of this amount to develop it as an accredited degree-granting college for Hebrew studies.
