Following a fairytale proposal in the Historic Mansion’s Throne Room, warm wishes and congratulations poured in from presidents, senior government officials and distinguished leaders around the world.
LAKEWOOD, N.J. — Family and friends gathered at the Historic Mansion at Georgian Court University to celebrate the engagement of Moshe Breger and Shana Honig, following a fairytale proposal in the Mansion’s magnificent Throne Room, an elegant setting that provided a memorable backdrop for the beginning of their new chapter together.
The evening unfolded within one of New Jersey’s most distinguished historic estates. Surrounded by the Mansion’s grand architecture, beautifully preserved interiors and timeless charm, guests attended an intimate VIP engagement reception that reflected both sophistication and warmth. The combination of history, elegance and family celebration created an atmosphere reminiscent of the classic society gatherings often associated with historic estates.
The engagement brings together two families with deep roots in Jewish communal leadership, service and Torah scholarship. Shana Honig descends from one of the Jewish world’s most distinguished rabbinic lineages, tracing her family’s heritage to two of history’s most revered Torah giants—Rabbi Akiva Eiger and the Holy Chasam Sofer. Their scholarship, leadership and lasting influence continue to inspire Jewish communities around the globe, making the occasion especially meaningful for generations of family and friends.
The Historic Mansion itself added to the significance of the celebration. For many guests, it was their first opportunity to experience the estate, whose elegant rooms and remarkable history provided a setting unlike a traditional banquet hall. The Throne Room, where the proposal took place, offered a fittingly majestic backdrop for the joyous occasion.
To allow the family to celebrate privately, access to the estate was limited to invited guests, with security present at the entrance throughout the evening. The intimate setting enabled family and close friends to share in the celebration while preserving the privacy of the couple and their loved ones.
As news of the engagement spread, warm wishes and congratulations arrived from across the United States, Israel and beyond. Among those extending personal congratulations were President of Israel Isaac Herzog, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Israel Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., joined by numerous other public officials, community leaders and friends who offered their heartfelt blessings to the couple.
Throughout the evening, guests celebrated not only the engagement of Moshe and Shana, but also the coming together of two cherished families. The occasion was marked by joy, gratitude and heartfelt blessings as loved ones wished the couple every success in building a home founded upon faith, kindness and shared values.
As the celebration drew to a close, family and friends offered prayers that Moshe and Shana be blessed with a lifetime of Hashem’s blessings, abundant health, happiness, peace and success. Their engagement marked the beginning of a new journey—one celebrated in a setting of historic elegance and surrounded by the love, admiration and best wishes of family, friends and distinguished well-wishers from around the world.
