Tanenbaum’s Summer Soirée – Thank You for Joining Us!
We’re so grateful to those of you who joined us for Tanenbaum’s annual Summer Soirée. The evening was spent celebrating community, connection, and our shared commitment to creating more inclusive, welcoming, and respectful environments for people of all faiths and none – no matter the challenges that may come our way.
This year’s Soirée was made possible thanks to generous contributions from: Foa & Son, An Alera Group Company and our Board Chair Justin Foa, SkyLounge NYC, Steve and Sara Pandolfi, Scalini Osteria and Anthony Di Rosa, and Mike Esposito and Golden Ram Imports.
Browse photos from the evening below, and I hope to see you at Tanenbaum’s Gala: Peace Made Possible on Thursday, October 23rd, 2025 at the Edison Ballroom in New York City! Ticket and sponsorship information is available here.
