In the words of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z”l: “Teachers open our eyes to the world. They give us curiosity and confidence. They teach us to ask questions. They connect us to our past and future. They’re the guardians of our social heritage… They are the people who really shape our life.”
(From Optimism to Hope p. 132)

Congratulations to Rick and Hillary, whose commitment to our Agency and to Jewish education helps ensure the very future of the Jewish people. 

And to Martine, whose abiding leadership in thought, guidance, and generous support empowers Jewish educators to inspire children to live knowledgeable and proud Jewish lives, now and far into the future. 

We applaud you all! With deep admiration, gratitude, and love,
KAREN AND DAVID EVERETT
