Sam Kaplan and wife, Marsha, have been Teaneck residents for the past 42 years. Between davening at Beth Aaron, Shaare Tefila and Chabad, and this year, the Trafalgar Minyan, they have come to know a great many Teaneckers.
In 1985, the Kaplans and two friends now residing in Israel, Jeff Glazer and Aaron Mandelbaum, realized there was a “need and a niche” for bringing local Jews closer to Judaism. Thus the Jewish Learning Experience (JLE) was born, and Sam Kaplan became its president. During the course of the next 35 years, Kaplan estimates that over 10,000 people were influenced by the outreach of this grassroots organization.
