- Neil HarrowOur former Chairman, Neil Harrow, passed away early on Sunday morning, March 30, 2025.
As soon as he became part of the congregation Neil put himself wholeheartedly into being instrumental in the operation of VCJC. He headed numerous committees. Most notably the Education Committee, also he ascended to being Chairman of the Board after Lenny Stoller's passing. He replaced Arnold Geismar as Gabbi and he probably didn’t miss being part of any minyan all the years he was healthy. He was an invaluable part of VCJC and HE WILL BE MISSED by ALL of US.
