"The highlight of their marriage was the celebration of their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary which took place at the Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City when over 600 members of their family paid tribute to them."
The event was also commemorated by the publication release of the second edition of a family genealogy: A Genealogical History of an Extended Family with Rabbinical Ancestry.
