WELCOME NEW GUARDIANS PRESIDENTS, GIDEON ORION AND YOSSI REINSTEIN
It is our great pleasure to announce that as of September 1, 2024, Gideon Orion and Yossi Reinstein commenced their two-year term as Co-Presidents of The Guardians. The duo were unanimously confirmed by the board of directors earlier this year.
Yossi and Gideon have a rich history with The Guardians and LAJH. Both have served the organization as Co-Chairs of the Young Men’s Division, have held various executive board positions, and have been integral in chairing some of our largest events, including the 2023 Guardians Comedy Night featuring Sarah Silverman and Jeff Ross (Yossi), and the 2024 Guardians Real Estate Dinner honoring Ben Leeds and Fred Leeds (Gideon).
For Yossi, The Guardians and Los Angeles Jewish Health have long been part of his life, with his grandfather, Harry Berrin, having served as Guardians President in 1975. “The mission of The Guardians and Los Angeles Jewish Health is immensely near and dear to me,” said Yossi, who after moving from Boston to LA was encouraged to join The Guardians by his family friend and renowned philanthropist, Joyce Eisenberg-Keefer.
Gideon’s Guardians story began over a decade ago, with former CEO of the Home, Molly Forrest, inviting the new Guardian to also join the board of directors for the Home’s Eisenberg Village and Grancell Village campuses. A nationally recognized broker in the senior living and skilled nursing industry, along with being elevated to Co-President of The Guardians, Gideon continues to serve on the Board of Directors for Los Angeles Jewish Health and chairs the In-Residence Services board.
“We are thrilled to have Gideon and Yossi take the helm, bringing their enthusiasm and fresh vision as they embark on leading The Guardians for the next two years,” said Dale Surowitz, CEO of Los Angeles Jewish Health.
Please join us in congratulating Gideon and Yossi!
