"I came to FJA with a sense of tradition,
like coming here was a rite of passage.
I know this is where my siblings found
themselves. Looking back, I realize that
this is where I have found myself, too.
"I expected to pick up technical
and grammatical skills in Judaics and
Hebrew here at FJA. What I wasn't
prepared for was such a stimulating
environment that would enable me to
ask any questions I had and, really, to
discover my relationship to the Jewish
part of me, and my relationship to the
Jewish people."

"I love the flexibility in scheduling. This
year, I am doing a video audit of a Bible
class and, next year, I am taking an
Italian course online.
"I have great personal relationships
with my teachers. They're friendly and
open, and they treat you like an equal
— eye-to-eye, rather than looking
down at you.
"Outside of school, I am active in
BBYO and USY youth groups. I have
often had discussions in class at FJA
and then had similar discussions at
youth group, meshing biblical concepts
with modern thought"

"The teachers really
do push you to be the best that you can
be. The atmosphere fosters you to have
an individual voice. So, now, thousands
of people are reading me, every day
that I write. I don't think that would
have happened had I gone to a school
where everyone is just a number:'

"It was a very easy transition from
Cranbrook for me because there's such
a good atmosphere. I have a lot of good
friends here, but the whole grade is
close and friendly.
"What's really great, though, is the
relationship between the teachers and
the students. When you talk to a teach-
er, you don't feel any tension. They're
very approachable:'

ing something to the conversation in
the classroom. I work in a start-up now
and it kind of feels like an FJA setting.
I mentioned that to my father and he
said, 'Listen, the world knows what
it gets when it gets Jewish Academy
students:"

"Attending the
Academy helped me
discover my passion

in life. It was through
Soleimani
the Bible curriculum
here that I realized,
`This is mind-blowing. This is opening
up my eyes, and this is what I want to
do for the rest of my life: So, it's amaz-
ing to have the opportunity to give that
to students now and remember back
to the days when I was sitting in those
very seats, and hope that I can have
the same kind of impact that my Bible
teachers had on me:'
