The Latin Auxiliary of Douglas Gardens recently held its Annual "Lluvia de Estrellas - Spotlight on Achievers" Dinner Dance Gala.  About 250 guests arrived at Temple Beth Shmuel - Cuban-Hebrew Congregation, to honor four of South Florida's most talented and recognizable residents.  The 2002 honorees were Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer, Bernard Nusbaum, M.D., the world renowned Dermatologist famous for hair transplants, Hollywood Film Director Brett Ratner and Henry Wodnicki, M.D..  Each delivered poignant remarks after being presented with their award.

The Latin Auxiliary Gala also put the spotlight on three outstanding youth achievers: Joshua Fieldstone, Ilana Papir and Lauren Zimmerman. Each of these talented high school students has made significant contributions to the community by becoming dedicated volunteers and role models.

Latin Auxiliary President Rebecca Zeligman-Salti introduced the Gala co-chairmen Anita Petluck and Anita Stone. Emcee Ben Horenstein was joined during the program by Professor Ysrael A. Seinuk, who introduced each honoree. Rabbi Mayer Abramowitz, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Menorah, led the group in an inspiring spiritual message and Ha-Motzi. The weekend's festivities began with a Shabbat Dinner held at the lovely Miami Beach home of Mariita Srebnick and George Feldenkreis.
