Close to 250 guests were in attendance at The Emanuel Synagogue in West Hartford on Tuesday evening, Oct. 17, to hear UConn Athletics Director David Benedict talk about his career and his life growing up in a Jewish home at “Visions,” the Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford’s largest annual event for men. Co-chaired by Jay Gershman, Jonathan Hoffman, Ron Schlossberg and Sid Ulreich, the evening helped raise funds to support dozens of initiatives and programs that enhance Jewish life in Greater Hartford, in Israel and around the world.
