Message from the Principal
L'Dor V'Dor.. from Generation to Generation.... we recite it in every service.. we practice it in the Passover Seder, lighting our candles at Chanukkah, and memorialize it as we remember our loved ones at Yizkor and on their Yahrzeits...
That's how it is with education.. We must pass it to our children and our grandchildren. The legacy of our Judaism, it's values, it's ethics, culture and practice are the greatest gift we can give them.
Our TBS Religious School and our educators and partners have just completed our school year with generational learning at our core.
As I complete my first year as Principal of the school, I have learned so much and discovered new things about myself.. my own capacity for patience, love and acceptance and discipline. I cannot express to you my gratitude for the growth I have experienced through the eyes of YOUR CHILDREN!!
Rabbi, Ilene and I are busy developing an even more exciting curriculum for next year, one that incorporates more interaction, more direct hands on tasks, challenging and deep instruction and ALSO FUN!!
For now I want to thank so many people who contributed to my successful first year leading our school; Ronnie Minsky, Gary Sack, Roz Kantor, Edye Miller, Rabbi Craig. Our School was enriched by the newly formed PTA under the incredible Leadership of Wendy Fine, who took charge of School events and Jewish Family Life, who was assisted by Randy and Sharon Shear, Risa and David Vinarub, Jennifer and Rogier Chapon, Murray Dweck, Heide Perlman, Doug Gordon, Aaron Starkey, Ken and Jennifer Allen, Caryn Weber, Eric and Georgiana Isenman, Eric Spellman, Debbie and Joey Wilde, Flo Flax and so many others. I hope we can continue in the upcoming year to engage and excite our children about Jewish education and created more "LIVE" instruction!!
Our longtime Hebrew teacher Ronnie Minsky, who taught so many children Bar and Bat Mitzvah, Hebrew Language, prayers and service has retired after 33 years in the classroom. We all wish her Mazal and Glick (Yiddish for good fortune and JOY) as she spends more well deserved time with her own children and grandchildren...She was a dedicated and wonderful teacher, friend and colleague.
And lastly, none of this would be possible without the mentor and friendship of my dear friend Ilene Herr, who helped me in more ways then I can tell you, who was always there for advice and instruction to help ME LEARN and who didn't step on my ideas and was so supportive in helping me accomplish my goals for our TBS RELIGIOUS SCHOOL.. She set a very high bar to for me to reach, and I hope that someday I will be a fraction of what she projected during her tenure before me..
Have a great summer.. laugh... travel... eat... play.. have fun... But talk to your friends about enrolling their children in Brevard County's best and most encompassing Jewish Education...because next year is going to be a blast!!
