A Night to Remember: The 19th Annual Genesis Awards Celebrating Margot Einstein’s 102nd Birthday
On Sunday, July 20, 2025, friends, family, and supporters of Israel gathered at American Legion Post 440 in Newton, Massachusetts to honor a remarkable woman and an unwavering cause.
The evening marked Margot Einstein’s 102nd birthday and the 19th Annual Genesis Awards, hosted by Christians and Jews United for Israel (CJUI). With heartfelt moments, inspiring messages, and lively fellowship, the event was a tribute to Margot’s lifetime of dedication and the continued work of CJUI.
Attendees enjoyed a festive reception and social hour at 3:30 PM, followed by a program at 4:00 PM featuring kosher food, live music, and powerful remarks.
The keynote address was delivered by Max Long, an IDF soldier and founder of Growing Wings, an initiative that empowers survivors of trauma through healing and community.
Max is also the grandson of May Long, CJUI’s founder, making his message especially meaningful as he honored both his family legacy and Margot’s vision.
The evening also included the presentation of the Emet Award to Nick Pasquarosa, recognizing his integrity and commitment to truth in action.
With a sold-out crowd and a full house of supporters, this private celebration was filled with joy, gratitude, and a shared commitment to Israel and its allies.
Happy 102nd, Margot! May your legacy continue to inspire for generations to come.
$20,000 Donated to CJUI in Loving Memory of Tanya Gorlin
In a heartfelt tribute to her legacy, a generous donation of $20,000 has been made to Christians and Jews United for Israel (CJUI) in loving memory of our esteemed and beloved board member, Tanya Gorlin. This gift stands as a testament to Tanya’s lasting impact and will help continue the mission she held so dear—defending Israel, supporting the Jewish community, and fostering unity between Christians and Jews.
Her name and her life are a blessing forever.
Christians and Jews United for Israel mourns the loss of our esteemed and beloved board member, Tanya Gorlin, on Friday, July 5, 2024. Her passing leaves a hole in the heart of all who were privileged to know her, love her, and work with her.
Tanya was a tireless and passionate Zionist and American patriot and, as such, was a highly respected leader in CJUI, the Russian Jewish community, and Boston’s Jewish community at large. She was a major supporter of Friends of the IDF, the Russian Jewish Community Foundation, and Christians and Jews United for Israel.
Even as she was engaged in an excruciating battle with the cancer that took her life, she never missed an opportunity to lead the charge in the fight for Israel and America. Just recently, she played a major role in organizing CJUI’s successful Jerusalem Day March in Brookline on June 2nd.
Tanya’s love and appreciation for the freedom afforded by America and Israel was informed by her life under communism in the former USSR. She was born in 1947 to a father who was an officer in the Soviet Army and a mother who was a musician. In her adult years, she earned a degree in English and worked at the Center for US and Canadian Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences.
During that time, she became a refusenik and was persecuted by the KGB for her participation in illegal rallies and hunger strikes for the sake of all Jews – including herself – who wanted to be allowed to leave the Soviet Union.
Tanya was finally allowed to emigrate and arrived in Massachusetts with her husband, Andrew, and their daughter, Sophie. After establishing her life in the United States, Tanya became a tireless warrior for the values on which America and the State of Israel were founded.
This donation to CJUI ensures that Tanya’s passion and dedication will continue to fuel the causes she fought for, honoring her life with action and impact.
She is survived by her beloved Andrew, daughter Sophie, and grandchildren Winnie, Avi, and Noami.
May her memory be for a blessing, and may her legacy continue to inspire us all.
