FIRST CLASS from page 48
members of the JAMD staff handed out
the diplomas to the students they knew
best, giving a short speech about each
student.
Jackier compared the graduating class
to the biblical figure of Nashon, who,
according to the book of Exodus, was
the first to set foot in the Red Sea when
Moses parted the waters.
"You are people who are willing to go
into uncharted waters," Jackier said.
"You were willing to believe that your
educational experience would be valu-
able and would properly prepare you for
success in both the Jewish and secular
communities."
The man who parted the waters, head
of school Rabbi Lee Buckman, called
the 21 graduates "the first gift from the
JA/VID to the community."
Rabbi Buckman continually defers all
praise to the JAMD board and other
members of Detroit's Jewish community,
who worked for 10 years before the
school opened its doors in August 2000.
"And now, I stand here with Kleenex
in my pocket and pride in my heart,"
Rabbi Buckman said.
