On Sunday April 21 The Frisch School was honored to have Mayor Corey Booker as the featured speaker at the school’s Fourth Annual Sports breakfast. More than 400 members of The Frisch School community came together to show their pride in all of the school’s players and coaches, as well as their gratitude for the dedication and support of the parent body. Mayor Booker gave an inspiring and entertaining talk, referencing the Torah portion of the week in which he told his own personal story of commitment and perseverance, illustrating to the audience that personal success comes with dedication to a cause, communal awareness and hard work. He also reinforced how his continued study of Torah reinforces his devotion to Tikkun Olam. Mayor Booker was presented with a lithograph of the famous saying of Hillel from Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) “If I am not for Myself, Who am I? If I am Only for Myself, What am I? If Not now, When?” which Mayor Booker had actually referenced in his remarks. Mayor Booker spent time after his remarks speaking personally to parents, students and their families.
