Shalhevet dinner honors the school’s champions

Midreshet Shalhevet held its Sixth Annual Scholarship Dinner honoring Mr. and Mrs. Martin and Zena Cohen, Mr. and Mrs. Yossi and Elaine Farber, and Mrs. Hindy Feder.

Assistant Principal, Mrs. Shaindy Lisker, opened with welcoming remarks and introduced Rosh Mesivta Rabbi Zev Meir Friedman, who highlighted the extraordinary qualities of each of the honorees and took a moment to memorialize the victims of the recent tragedies in France. Menahelet, Mrs. Esther Eisenman, then presented gifts to the honorees.

The guests of honor, Mr. and Mrs. Martin and Zena Cohen, are close partners to Shalhevet. Their commitment to Torah values and active roles in tzedaka organizations have made a strong impact in the community. Their daughter, Tehila, a 12th grader at Shalhevet, has benefitted from the partnership the Cohens and Shalhevet have created.

Hakarat Hatov Honorees, Mr. and Mrs. Yossi and Elaine Farber, epitomize the definition of Baalei Chesed. The Farber’s constantly open their home and run many Shalhevet activities. Their daughter, Shira, a senior at Shalhevet, reflects the midot and Torah values she learned at home and her successes are built on the strong relationship between the Farbers and Shalhevet.

Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Hindy Feder work hard to see her students thrive in her class. Mrs. Feder serves as the Israel Guidance liaison and helps each student find the seminary best suited for her.

From the words of senior Devora Chait, “You have deepened our appreciation of learning more than we could have imagined, and we are truly appreciative that we have the opportunity to learn from you every single day, whether in class or out. When we grow up, we all want to be Mrs. Feder.”

The evening wrapped up with a touching Thank You video from the Shalhevet students that acknowledged both the school and the people who support it.
