The Colker Klein Shapiro Memorial Fund was established in 1999 in memory of Marcy Colker Klein, and the family added their dear friend Barry Shapiro’s name after his passing in 2003. The families decided to sunset the Fund after Marcy’s mother, Dvorah Colker, passed away in 2025. This special weekend will be an opportunity to pay tribute to these extraordinary individuals who contributed tirelessly towards the betterment of Temple Beth Am and Pressman Academy.
