ANNIVERSARY DINNER RABBI ZALMAN NISSEL CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND OPERATI G OFFICER בם”ד Dear Friends of Bais Yaakov, Thank you for joining us this evening. The school’s growth over these 75 years has been brought about with great סיעתא דשמיא . All who are involved in the school feel this in a very special way. The של עולם רבונו has sent His kindness to Bais Yaakov through expert and committed מנהלים and .מחנכות It is a privilege to have the wonderful experience of working with so many devoted staff members and lay leaders in operating the school on a daily basis. Truly extraordinary are Bais Yaakov’s volunteers and donors. I have called on dozens to assist the school in one way or another and the request for assistance is always met with support. Your commitment to the school is remarkable and so greatly appreciated. We appreciate the tribute honorees, my mentors Rabbi Mendel D. Freedman and Mrs. Bailke Blumberg, along with Mrs. Shoshana Shuman, who dedicated themselves to our school for so many years. Our memorial tribute to Mrs. Elky Kleiner A”H recognizes the special and everlasting impact that she had on her cherished talmidos and her love for Bais Yaakov. Mrs. Laure Gutman A”H was not only a trusted teacher and mentor to our students, she served in that capacity and was a friend to so many outside of school as well. She is greatly missed. I sincerely thank our close friends, the Gutman family for starting the charge that is leading, ב"ה , to fabulous success in the development of the Smith Avenue Expansion Project. What an outstanding tribute this is to Mrs. Gutman’s cherished memory yz”b. Thank you for your support, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your commitment to our school.
