Nearly 500 Hillel supporters attended the June 4 Annual Gala that raised
more than $100,000 for tuition assistance. The event honored Nadine
and David Farbman with the Dream Maker Award, and Janice and Steven
Traison with the Rabbi Jacob E. Segal (z”l) Award.
Steve Freedman, head of school, cited the Farbmans, the school’s
youngest-ever honorees, for their visionary leadership, and the Traisons for
years of tireless dedication to the school.
The evening’s highlight came from eighth-grader Robert Victor, who
bemoaned a trend toward disengagement in the American Jewish com-
munity. Jewish education provides the tools to cultivate one’s Jewish
identity, he said, and without it, Judaism, which survived external threats
throughout history, may wither from forces within.
Distinguished alumni award recipients were also recognized — Eddie
Alterman (class of 1986), Rabbi Jennifer Kaluzny (class of 1991) and
Jonathan Ozeran (class of 1997). On June 5, Alterman and Ozeran visited
with seventh- and eighth-graders to talk about how Hillel has continued to
impact their lives as adults.
“Jews have always been a minority, and we have had to take care of
ourselves; this will stand you in good stead for your life and career. At
Hillel, we’re taught to think, and this gives us a distinct advantage over our
colleagues,” said Alterman, editor of Car and Driver magazine. •
