ANNIVERSARY DINNER RABBI YACOV SIMHA VICE PRESIDENT, DE ELOPMENT בם”ד The annual Bais Yaakov banquet is a time when I can reflect with pride that I am associated with one of the most outstanding Torah institutions in the world. Our chinuch and executive departments proudly carry out their mission with excellence second to none. This evening we are celebrating 75 years of Bais Yaakov providing an exemplary Torah education to thousands of nshei chayil who today are spiritual matriarchs in numerous communities throughout the world. Each generation has had its own unique challenges in creating the Torah environment that not only insulated our children from the negative influences of society but also has allowed each one to achieve her maximum potential. Bais Yaakov, with tremendous siyata d’shmaya, has always been successful in embracing this challenge. May the Ribono shel Olam bless our hanhala and faculty with continued bracha and hatzlacha in their avodas hakodesh and may we all, parents and supporters, merit to reap the benefits of their accomplishments. This year’s banquet also pays special tribute to Rabbi Mendel Freedman, Mrs. Shoshana Shuman, and Mrs. Bailke Blumberg, who have selflessly given many years of their lives to Bais Yaakov. May the Ribono shel Olam grant them many years of continued good health. We also memorialize this evening two very special mechanchos who are icons in the history of Bais Yaakov, Mrs. Laure Gutman a”h and Mrs. Elky Kleiner a”h who are and will always be legends in Bais Yaakov’s world of chinuch. יהי זכרן ברוך
