Both men are longtime members of Touro’s board of directors and are past presidents of the association.

At its recent association annual meeting, the following recently-elected officers and board members were installed: For three-year terms on the board of directors: Norman Dinerman, Stevan Labush, Ried Redlich, Barry Shaw, Steven Waldman and Steven White; For one-year terms as officers of Harmony Lodge: Lester Nathan, president; Jeffrey Padwa, vice president; Andrew Shuster, secretary; and Manochehr Norparvar, treasurer; and for one-year terms as officers of Friendship Lodge: Norman Dinerman, president; Andrew Liss, vice president; Richard Cohen, secretary; and Michael Levin, treasurer.
