The crowd was American, the Rabbinic Intern was Swedish and the food was Chinese. This is what you got if you came to the CAI Men's Club's Send-Off Party for Jeremy Gerber at Mr. Chu's Vegetarian Cuisine in West Caldwell on May 14. After two glorious years at CAI, where he overwhelmingly participated in and supported the Men's Club, we said "good-bye" to Jeremy with a (vegetarian) Chinese banquet.Club President Adam Shandler toasted Jeremy prior to the dinner and presented 
him with a plaque from the Men's Club. Among Jeremy's contributions to the club were his launch of a liturgical Hebrew class, moderating our Torah on Tap discussions and participating in (and almost winning) our most recent Texas Hold 'Em Poker Tournament. He also taught Judaism to students at the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown, according to CAI member and CSE faculty member Harriet Sepinwall. (Harriet, by the way is a FOMC or Friend of Men's Club.)

ing the crowd of close to thirty people came hungry because Harvey Hershkowitz ordered dishes like this was a competitive eating contest. The crowd raved as we enjoyed "ribs", "beef", "sesame chicken" and "tuna" (or because it was imitation tuna, "tu-no".) Mr. Chu's played excellent hosts to our event, and if you're looking for a vegetarian meal with the authentic taste of the real thing, we recommend you give this restaurant a try. (It's BYO as well. No, that's not a Jewish youth movement, but rather Bring Your Own Wine, Beer, etc.) Special thanks and congrats to club VP Marty Schenker for putting this event together.

Thanks for all you've done for CAI and our Men's Club. (And if you would like to make a donation in Jeremy's honor to his new synagogue, contact Adam Shandler at adam@adshandler.com)
