MICHEL, who survived the death camps of Poland and
Germany, presented an award for humanitarian excellence to Cuban-born Gedalio
Grinberg at the UJA-Federation’s diamond, jewelry and watch
division dinner at the New York Hilton.
“We have something in common,” Michel
said. “Gedalio and I speak with an accent – but his is
worse.”
“What we have in common is our love for the
U.S.A,” said Grinberg, founder and board chairman of the Movado
Group.
Benny Shabtai, president of Raymond
Weil, presented a leadership of excellence award to Mary L.
Forte, president of Zale Corp., the largest specialty jeweler
in the country.
“Thank God I have an accent, too,” she
said. “It’s hard to understand – it’s from Philadelphia.”
