(Courtesy of Naaleh High School for Girls) On March 8, over 325 guests gathered at the Fair Lawn Jewish Center to celebrate Naaleh High School’s first-ever dinner. Guests enjoyed a beautiful buffet dinner and a night out with their extended Naaleh family.

The program was moving and inspirational, with divrei Torah from Naaleh’s own faculty member Rabbi Moshe Tzvi Weinberg, and member of the Vaad HaChinuch, Rabbi Zvi Sobolofsky. Head of School Deena Kobre and President of the Board Jonathan Neiss spoke eloquently, honoring Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan and Anat Stein, and Rabbi and Mrs. Ari and Michal Zahtz for their pivotal roles in the school’s establishment and continued growth. Both Rabbi Zahtz and Jonathan Stein spoke about their early involvement in Naaleh and their belief in a school whose central focus is Torah, middot tovot and academic excellence. Therefore, they are proud to be one of the first to enroll their daughters in a school that currently boasts over 170 young ladies.

The beautiful event also celebrated the Class of 2022, Naaleh’s first graduating class, pioneers and perpetual seniors. The evening ended with a beautiful video tribute, “The Letter,” showcasing the school’s amazing senior class, highlighting their journey from their early days as the first Naaleh students to their emotional farewell to the school they now call home. With the generous support of so many members of the extended Naaleh family, the event exceeded all expectations, raising over $450,000.
