Over Six Centuries of Collective Years of Marriage - Mazel Tov!
, Which means an occasion of great joy, was the brainchild of Bat-Sheva Slevin, the Director of the Center for Jewish Living and Learning. Rabbi Jacob Benzaquen and Cantor Blum resided over the couples' renewal of their vows." I will soon be celebrating my own 18th anniversary," said Joel Block, executive director of the Suffolk Y. " When I look at you here I can only hope my wife and I have the same look of joy, hope and love when we have been together for 60 years."
Rabbi Benzaquen said the evening was one of "consecrating and reaffirming the love for each other, the lives of children and the continuing devotion to each other" that these couples have demonstrated.
Shirley Fremeth, who has been married to her husband Charles for 65 years, explained her secret to a long-lasting marriage. "Have a sense of humor. I don't even change my furniture, why would I change my husband?"
Kings Park natives Lottie and Werner Hess were celebrating 64 and-a-half years of marriage. They have three grown daughters and five grandchildren. Mr. Hess said it is easy to have a 60 year marriage if the groom learns two words, "Yes, Dear." Mrs. Hess stated that happiness requires "Patience, a lot of patience."
Irma Abowitz, who married her husband Al in 1948, was thrilled that her wedding gown was on display in the lobby. Irma's father, a pattern maker by trade, made her gown and her sister-in-law made her crown. The lobby display also contains pictures of the couples then and now, copies of their marriage certificates and brief histories of each.
After the ceremony, the couples and their guests enjoyed a dinner dance with music provided by the four piece Ross Band. Members from the center said the celebratory evening was a true community event and one the Jewish Y hopes to repeat in the future.
The couples renewing their vows were:
Irma and Alfred Abowitz(63 years)
Arline and Aaron Berezowsky(63 years)
Frances and Charles Diamant (65 years)
Shirley and Abraham Fremeth (63 years)
Mira and Rolf Grayson (67 years)
Marilyn and Henry Heller (60 years)
Lottie and Werner Hess (65 years)
Evalyn and George Koff (65 years)
Shirley and Jerry Levy (64 years)
Rosalie and Leon Silverman (60 years)

God hates evil ( Psalm 5:4-5 )—so much so He says to keep yourself from doing anything that even looks like it. Have you been living or acting in ways that make it hard for people to believe you’re married? Honestly examine your ways to make sure the enemy doesn’t have an open door or cracked window into your relationship. Since the devil only comes to steal, kill and destroy ( John 10:10 ), his presence in your marriage means big problems and even bigger troubles.
Take this week to seek God on what areas you can improve so your marriage only reflects Him. Don’t be deceived either, there’s always something you can do better.
Prayer: Father God, is there something I’m doing that takes away from the light in our marriage? Do I have ties to people or things that are chipping away at the solidity of our union? God, please reveal to me whatever it is. My marriage is supposed to be a testament of You, so I never want it to be an example for the devil. Show me and help me for the sake of Your honor, my vows and my spouse’s right. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
