Messages from GNS Leadership
As we gather to celebrate the 74th Annual Dinner of the Great Neck Synagogue, I am filled with deep gratitude and admiration for this year’s honorees: Adam and Didi Hutt, Abe and Ariella Sedgh, and Steve Zuckerman. Each of these outstanding individuals exemplifies the devotion, leadership, and sense of responsibility that sustain and elevate our kehilla.
Adam and Didi Hutt have become an inseparable part of the fabric of Great Neck Synagogue. Adam’s steady commitment to Torah and tefillah, expressed through his consistent presence at minyan and the Beit Midrash Minyan each Shabbos, reflects quiet leadership and deep humility. Didi brings warmth, kindness, and a contagious positivity that uplifts everyone around her, and together with their children they embody the heart and soul of our shul.
Abe and Ariella Sedgh represent dedication, humility, and service to the community. Abe’s many years of leadership which include his service on the board and as Treasurer, have helped strengthen and guide our synagogue through important initiatives. Ariella’s warmth and volunteerism enrich our community, and together with their children they model commitment and love for Great Neck Synagogue.
Steve Zuckerman is a pillar of Great Neck Synagogue and of Orthodox Jewish life in our community. For nearly six decades, his vision and tireless devotion - from building the eruv and founding minyanim to advancing Torah learning and Jewish education - have shaped the spiritual landscape of Great Neck. Together with his wife Shellie and their family, his legacy continues to inspire generations.
Together with my wife Jenny, it is a true privilege to recognize these exceptional honorees whose lives reflect the highest ideals of Torah, chesed, and communal responsibility. May Hashem bless them and their families with good health, happiness, and continued success.
With deep appreciation and heartfelt thanks,

On behalf of the GNS Youth Department, we would like to wish a heartfelt Mazal Tov to each of the honorees, Didi and Adam Hutt, Arilella and Abreham Sedgh, and Steve Zuckerman on this well-deserved recognition. Your dedication to Great Neck Synagogue has helped create a wonderful shul community, and tonight is a meaningful moment to acknowledge that commitment.
Thank you for the time, care, and consistency you give to the shul. Your involvement helps set the tone for the community we strive to be and the values we hope to pass on. As our tradition teaches, דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ “Generation to generation shall praise Your works.”
Thank you for being role models and helping create a warm and welcoming place where our youth feel proud to belong. Your dedication helps shape not only the present of Great Neck Synagogue, but its future as well.
With appreciation,
Dr. Mike and Morah Zehava
