Bais Yaakov 77th Annual Dinner Journal

This evening, we celebrate our 77th anniversary banquet under the leadership and guidance of our President, Board of Directors, educational leadership, and faculty. Bais Yaakov, as a result, has merited to be acclaimed in the world of chinuch as one of the most outstanding mosdos in our time. We have earned this title of distinction not only through their מסירת נפש but also because of their approach each year with a sense of renewed and refreshed excitement in their עבודת הקודש . As a development professional, I often hear stories of Bais Yaakov graduates and students who, through their conduct, are beacons of Kiddush Hashem. This was evident when a prominent person outside of our community recently praised the work of Bais Yaakov in developing the dignity of the Jewish woman in a society where crucial values have all but disappeared. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the support, encouragement, and assistance of Rabbi Zalman Nissel, CEO and Rabbi Aaron Gross, Director of Development, that I receive throughout the year. In addition, the exceptional professional and dedicated staff working in the Executive Office is very much appreciated. As we gather here this evening, we thank not only those within our Bais Yaakov family, but also our many supporters from close and far who share in our dream and vision. Bais Yaakov, this evening, is proud to honor Mr. and Mrs. Moshe Boehm and Mr. and Mrs. Mickey Katz, who are not only outstanding pillars of chessed in our community but also are among our most ardent supporters. We are very proud to honor Rabbi and Mrs. Reuven Savitz. Rabbi Savitz served as Executive Director of Bais Yaakov during the critical years of Bais Yaakov’s growth and set a path for others to follow in later years. May Bais Yaakov continue to be blessed with the tremendous סיעתא דשמיא that it has merited for many years to come. Rabbi Yacov Simha VICE PRESIDENT, DEVELOPMENT 12
