JEP Dinner 2014

i love for me on sundays because the tour is beautiful the best part about jeff is the hanukkah carnival it's awesome because i get to see my friends jeff can teach you a lot of things about hebrew i like learning and i like doing the brahas i like jack because i like reading i like coming here after me because i look forward to learning new stuff i like jeff coming the shout outs was to give people the next thing that they needed to give people a sense of belonging to give people the connection that they needed to help anybody out what they what they needed at the time that they needed is an organization that takes every jewish person from no matter what age what stage or what background they're at and brings them to the next level it's all true torah learning which is something that's unique in the cure world jet has has a razon detroit that that's for real that that that that makes a lot of sense every sunday morning it amazes me how these children become bright-eyed and excited to be here and especially their parents who go out of the way and on their day off to first of all drop them off and then only a couple of hours later to come pick them up again the tremendous dedication that they have is just amazing it's been about three years since i've um since i've been involved with the job i feel it's kind of like a two-way street like we become friends with them and there's this feeling like we're you know giving uh making a positive contribution to the life of a family and it's just a very like a good feeling it feels very worthwhile it's not an organization it's a family everybody that is part of it they feel like they really belong the success of this program is evident because we have already today second and even third generation students in jail my experience at the barbie louis school was phenomenal there's no question that the hebrew school would not be as amazing and vibrant and and just mr primo really has her finger on the pulse not only anything on the puppet she's she is the fault not to work and tremendous that to the to the hebrew school is fascinating with her with all her volunteers this wasn't just the labor of one day or one week or one year this has been 25 years of real hard work i've been a part of this hebrew school for about 13 years and in those 13 years i'll admit in the beginning i wasn't too thrilled about waking up every sunday very early but throughout the course of my jewish education jeff does a great job what was abraham what was he given it's fascinating to see the current day jet how much goes on both in the hebrew school and and the shire tremendous challenge that he has you know to fulfill what rabbi schwab did with jeff to to carry it forth i have a lot of confidence that he will be able to continue to grow and continue to offer the community and the jewish world at large an opportunity for true torah learning and true growth in yiddishkai at whatever level they're seeking which is what jepp's history has always been i i i can only emulate there's no way i could imitate or even try to be who he was i though most i could do is is instead of being in his shadow is to really stand on his shoulders and then to continue this organization i would like to thank rabbi shnow and wishing him in his endeavor of taking over this organization and growing into something that was a vision of my father and continuing his legacy you
