42nd Annual Dinner

We are so happy to be paying tribute to our Guests of Honor, Nechama and Danny Saks. Nechama and Danny have given years of dedicated service to TABC, as well as to numerous chesed organizations and worthy causes across the Jewish community. 

When their oldest son, Efrayim, started in ninth grade, both Nechama and Danny immediately took on leadership roles across numerous programs and initiatives at the school. Danny has served as a long-time Executive Board member as Treasurer, working diligently to manage TABC’s expenses and income, keep a balanced budget, enhance the growth of our yeshiva, and secure critical financial support. Nechama has utilized her creativity and talent chairing years of TABC’s Dinners and other programs, including the annual Sports Dinner which she was instrumental in starting. Her commitment to TABC’s success and concern for the overall student experience is evident in everything she does. Both of them have been involved with Storm athletics as all three of their boys participated in our basketball program, and they serve as incredible community ambassadors for our yeshiva.

Outside of TABC, Danny serves as the Vice Chairman of the Etzion Foundation and has served on the boards of Yeshivat Noam, Ma’ayanot, and Project Ezra. He also serves on the Beis Medrash Committee at Congregation Bnai Yeshurun. Nechama has been actively involved in a variety of dinners in our community, including those of Yeshivat Noam, Project Ezra, and the Teaneck Mikveh. Congregation Bnai Yeshurun, Bergen County Bikur Cholim, and Sister to Sister are also fortunate to benefit from Nechama’s time and expertise.

Nechama and Danny live in Teaneck and are proud parents of Efrayim ‘18 (and Noa), Nealy (and Gaby), Eli ‘23, and Dovid ‘25. Nechama and Danny exemplify incredible commitment to community and service and TABC is privileged to benefit from their years of dedication to our yeshiva.
