Oscar-winning songwriter Marvin Hamlisch gave a star-studded performance before over 200 people at Temple Jeremiah's fundraiser and gala event. The program was held at Temple Jeremiah's newly renovated synagogue.

Mr. Hamlisch, who has won every major musical award, including three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, one Tony and three Golden Globe awards, regaled the audience with a medley of his best known hits, including "The Way We Were", "The Sting", "The Chorus Line" and "The Goodbye Girl." A highlight of the evening was when Temple Jeremiah's own Amy Zussman sang "Can't Help Loving That Man" with Mr. Hamlisch.

The evening featured a gourmet dinner, silent auction, featuring over 80 gift items and getaway packages, and a raffle for "The Lion King" play at the Cadillac Palace Theatre.
