Frankel Jewish Academy 
celebrated its Annual Gala 
on May 11. More than 200 
people joined the event 
at the Berman Center 
for Performing Arts to 
recognize distinguished 
alumni honoree David 
Kurzmann ’04 and 
distinguished staff honoree 
Pat Anderson. 
The event was a 
resounding success, 

bringing in significant 
funds and highlighting 
the critical role FJA plays 
in inspiring the next 
generation of community 
leaders. FJA would like 
to thank its donors and 
supporters who continue to 
make Jewish education their 
top priority.
