Shana Bet Banquet

Shana Bet 2009/2010 had their farewell banquet on May 31st. As it turns out, they were so busy making it such a special event that they forgot to take pictures. Catered by Miss Sarah Kesler and attended by Rabbi Fix, Rabbi Rosenstein, Mrs. Peled and Chaya Rochel the banquet was a beautiful affair. Carly Miller made each staff member a gift on behalf of shana bet, check them out below. Each one was lamenated and made into an attendance folder cover. The staff loved them and will miss shana bet dearly. A special congratulations to Michla Goldsmith, Sarie Levey and Carly Miller for completing the full year shana bet program, we wish them much hatzlacha and simcha on their journey beyond TD!

Rabbi Brown NY Alumna Brunch

This past Wednesday (June 2) the Petrushka family hosted a brunch for the alumnae with Rabbi Brown. The brunch was well attended and enjoyed! Those who were there had a great time catching up with each other and Rabbi Brown, eating some wonderful food and hearing a shiur by the Menahel Ruchani. Thank you to Atara Kaufman for providing the picture (once again), to the Petrushka family for hosting, to Kellie Kravitz for the feedback and of course Rabbi Brown for being Rabbi Brown!

Sticking Together

Our most recent alumnae (the half-year shana bet students) recently had a reunion in New York. Okay, they all happen to be living in New York at the moment anyways, but it's nice that they got together! Although they miss TD terribly the girls are staying strong and doing well in their new environments!
