Ronen Israel, a principal at AQR Capital Management, stood with his son and mom at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s New York gala, recalling their annual visits to see his grandmother in Haifa.
“She’s a very sharp and funny woman,” Israel, 46, said at Monday night’s event. “At her 100th birthday, a friend was giving a toast, and she was talking about my mother, and my grandmother interrupted to say, ‘I thought this was my birthday.’ She’ll correct anyone if they are mistaken.”
