Abe Besser Israel Poland Experience

In recognition of a generous gift from the family of Abe Besser z" l, the Senior Israel Poland Experience has been named the Abe Besser Israel Poland Experience. Holocaust survivor Abe Besser sponsored the Holocaust programming at The Breman Museum, was one of the founders of the Holocaust Memorial at Greenwood Cemetery, and was the benefactor for the Besser Holocaust Memorial Garden at the Marcus Jewish Community Center. His wife, Marlene Gelernter, and stepchildren, Spencer, Sidney, and Andy Gelernter, believe Weber's seminal senior experience is a fitting tribute to Mr. Besser's lifelong support of Holocaust education and love for the State of Israel. Consistent Weber supporters for many years, the Besser family saw their grandchildren Alex Gelernter ( Class of 2010) and Lindsey Gelernter (Class of 2019) attend and graduate from the school. The Weber community appreciates this generous investment by the family and feels privileged to name the formative program in his honor.
