There is little better to go
with a dinner than a side-dish,
truly the main dish, of Max
Glauben. On Jan. 21, a dinner for
a dozen couples at Nick & Sam’s
turned into a $16,500 donation
benefiting the Aaron Family

Bennett Glazer. "Max is just beautiful, he's a mensch, and while I had heard
about him, after our first meeting I couldn't get enough," said Bennett Glazer.
"His is a story that everyone needs to hear and to help the Community Center, by
presenting this man so much the center of our community, made sense."

further.
“Max is just beautiful. He’s
a mensch, and while I had
heard about him, after our first
meeting I couldn’t get enough,”
said Bennett Glazer, who came
up with the fundraising idea

after speaking with his wife
Marion and Lisa Lieberman,
both members of the J’s 2020
“be.” event committee. “His
is a story that everyone needs
to hear and to help the JCC, by
presenting this man so much the
center of our community, made
sense.”
Fast-forward to January, and
Frieda and Max Glauben were the
intended guests of the Glazers,
Dawn and Todd Aaron, Angela
Horowitz French, Lauran and
Robert Goldberg, Lisa and Neil
Goldberg, Shelli and Marshall
Goldberg, Karen and Alan Katz,
Lisa and Steve Lieberman, Mark
and Rebecca Masinter, Laurie
and Todd Platt and Mark Zale.
Doug French and Lisa Zale were
unable to attend.
The Glaubens were the only
“intended” guests, as each of the
other couples paid $1,500 for
dinner at Nick & Sam’s. In the
end, everyone became guests of
Samir Dhurandhar, who donated
the meal, and Southern Glazer’s
Wine & Spirits, which supplied
the wine.
“These good people came
together to support their
community, the J, and we
wanted to be a part of that. I’ve
been blessed by the restaurant, a
wonderful wife and children and
it’s important to give back,” said
Dhurandhar, the restaurant’s
corporate chef and partner with
founder Phil Romano and Joseph
Palladino.
Dhurandhar explained he has
learned a great deal over the years
from his colleague and friend,
Bennett Glazer, executive vice
chairman of Southern Glazer’s.
“I treasure what started as a
professional relationship with
Bennett. He’s taught me a lot
about business, and a lot about
giving, and this was my honor,”
said the chef. “How incredible
Jewish Community Center.
It began at the Sept. 18
opening of the Dallas Holocaust
and Human Rights Museum,
Bennett Glazer was seated next
to Glauben for dinner. While he
had heard of Max, he had never
really heard his story. Once he
to meet Max and Frieda. It’s
important to surround yourself
with good, and to do good, and
everyone involved in the dinner
fit that ideal.”
Two videos were screened
highlighting Glauben being
named 2019 Texan of the Year by
the Dallas Morning News and an
overview of the Dallas Holocaust
and Human Rights Museum.
Glauben, a regular speaker at the
Museum, is one of its founders.
At dinner Glauben shared his
story, his courage and faith with
many of whom he’d never met,
all he now considers friends.
By way of Jewish geography,
Glauben let Glazer know that
Joe Pincus, of blessed memory,
and he were both stationed at
Fort Hood during the Korean
conflict. The two would drive
together to visit Dallas, where
they met their future wives —
Frieda, who married Max, and
Sandra, a cousin of the Glazers,
who married Pincus.
“What an invitation, what
a night,” said Glauben, who
turned 92 in January, his age
not defining of the man who
won’t be slowed. “These people
are appreciative and respectful
of their Judaism, of charity and
caring and they’re certainly
Upstanders.”
The donation of these couples,
and the restaurateur, are far-
reaching as they’ll support
programming, services and
resources to maintain, enhance
and secure much at the J.
“Max and Frieda are always
here working out or socializing,
as is Bennett. It’s fantastic that
these people — who I love and
see all the time — came together
to help support us,”
J’s CEO, Artie Allen,
a living testimony, a
impact on
something to cherish.
