As the semester comes to a close, we hosted our final Leadership Scholars event of the 2025–2026 year and shared an emotional farewell with Cohort II, our seniors who will be graduating next week. It was especially meaningful to celebrate alongside many of their parents as well.

Throughout the evening, each member of Cohort II reflected on how the Leadership Scholars program- the lessons they learned and the relationships they built- helped shape the people they are today. As Avi Dadon (SSSB ’26) shared during his final presentation, “I cannot wait for what the future has in store for us. It’s a scary moment, like we said, but let’s stay optimistic. Even as we each move into our own fields, careers, lives, and families, no matter how far apart we may grow, I think we’ll always remain inherently connected.”

Mazal tov to Rachel Amar, Bat-Tzion Atik, Avi Dadon, Rockie (Frankenthal) Kluk, Sierra Goodman, Boaz Kahn, Dani Minkove, Eli Novick, Zehava Shatzkes, and Ari Smith on their upcoming graduation! We are so proud of all you have accomplished and cannot wait to see what comes next.

“The Jewish story ends without an ending. It closes without closure… Jewish time is open time — open to a finale not yet realised, a destination not yet reached. The future can and will be better. The best is yet to come.” Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Shavua tov! As we approach Shavuot and the giving of the Torah, this week’s newsletter explores the meaning of mountains:

“Mountains are also an important symbol. In the Sinai story, they remind us that we can do hard things. The more something demands of us, the more we value it.”

In honor of the new national Sabbath this weekend, check out Dr. Erica Brown’s latest article, “What Holds America Together?”

Shabbat Shalom and happy Jewish American Heritage Month!

“...would Rabbi Sacks have seen an uptick in American patriotism or an embarrassing ingratitude for all that America stands for in the eyes of angry people ready to blame America for all their ills?”
