BPY is so grateful to the hundreds of donors who generously supported the Annual Campaign. These gifts enable BPY to continue its 21-year tradition of developing each child’s ahavat Hashem and yirat Hashem, to inspire, challenge and engage each learner, celebrate and transmit our Sephardic and Ashkenazic identity and love of Am Yisrael, Eretz Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael, empower and connect students through Hebrew language fluency. We build a warm, caring and devoted community dedicated to nurturing empathetic, happy and self-fulfilled human beings.

The dinner would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of the dinner committee, led by co-chairs Jodi Cohen and Tamar Moche; the development committee led by Adam Groveman, along with Rachel Barber Schwartz, Anna Grady and BPY Director of Development Ari Greene; and the leadership and support from Head of School Rabbi Zucker.
