This past year has been unique. Despite the immense challenges we have all faced, we have persevered. BPY’s powerful and poignant documentary video entitled “Ben Porat Yosef—A Year of Resilience” detailed the school’s journey over the past year and showed how the BPY community pulled together to address the challenges of COVID and give our children a wonderful year of learning and growth. This video was featured during BPY’s Virtual Dinner celebration, which took place on March 9.

BPY is proud to announce that this video was selected as a winner of the 2021 Telly Award, annually showcasing the best work created within television and across video, for all screens. They receive 12,000 entries from all 50 states and five continents. Thank you and mazal tov to Ari Grunzeweig, owner of Imagination Creations and creative director; Adrian Popescu and Daniel Hess, camera; and Katya Yakubov, editor, for capturing the story.

BPY is endlessly grateful to the producers: Rabbi Saul Zucker, head of school; Rachel Barber Schwartz, board of trustees president; and Adam Groveman, board of trustees member.
