An evening for Aishel House

Andy and Ellen Taer and Rochel Lazaroff and Rabbi Lazer Lazaroff (pictured, from left) celebrated at the annual Aishel House gala. More than 250 supporters gathered at Aishel House, joined by another 250 supporters who participated via livestream, for the gala benefit dinner to honor the volunteers and physicians who dedicate their time to the organization’s mission to provide transportation, kosher food, subsidized accommodations, and spiritual and emotional support to patients and families who are receiving treatment in the Texas Medical Center. Dr. Joseph Caselli received the Physician and Friend Award for his lifetime of medical accomplishments and dedication to his patients, and Ellen and Andy Taer were named Volunteers of the Year. During the award presentation, the Taers received an artistic depiction (pictured) of the Hebrew word “V’ahavta,” the first word in the biblical verse “and you shall love your fellow as yourself.”
