    The Jewish Standard http://www.jstandard.com/index.php/content/print/17614/ SSDS celebrates a ‘renaissance’ New Milford school shines a light on role models Lois Goldrich | Cover Story | Published: 18 March 2011 Astronaut Charles Camarda leads sixth-grade Schechter students in a discussion about how to make a perfect space suit for visitors to Mars. photos courtesy ssds OF Bergen county Solomon Schechter Day School of Bergen County is having a “banner year,” says Shari Leventhal, president of the New Milford school. “We went through some rough patches, but we’ve come back stronger than ever,” she told The Jewish Standard, citing increased enrollment in both kindergarten and middle school. Leventhal attributes Schechter’s growth to innovative programming and creative staffing, spearheaded by head of school Ruth Gafni. The choice of Daniel Jaye, former principal of Bergen Academies in Hackensack, to serve as director of academic affairs was particularly fortunate, she said, pointing out that the day school now boasts its own after-school academies. Among its most successful new initiatives is the expert eyewitnesses and role models program, said Leventhal. The approach — which has so far brought to the school, among others, two Knesset members, an eyewitness to Kristallnacht, and the national vice president of the Jewish National Fund — is meant both to educate and inspire students, she said. The idea of presenting students with role models is very much in the minds of school leaders. Indeed, it was with an eye toward that program that Schechter selected its honorees for this year’s annual gala. Receiving the school’s Shirley and Harris Shapiro Community Award on March 27 will be Rabbi André Ungar, rabbi emeritus of Temple Emanuel of the Pascack Valley in Woodcliff Lake.

First and foremost, we would like to thank Michael H. Steinhardt for his uncompromising vision of policy-making informed by rigorous scientific methods. His support made our work possible and his encouragement inspired our efforts. At the heart of the present report are a set of complex statistical analyses. In developing these analyses, we benefited from the advice of a number of internationally recognized experts. We would, in particular, like to note the assistance provided by Professors Andrew Gelman (Columbia University) and David Rindskopf (Graduate Center, City University of New York). We have not yet addressed all of their recommendations, but their advice helped us produce the analyses described here and provides a map for how to make survey syntheses even more powerful and useful.

    5/21/2015 The Jewish Standard Local students aid hurricane victims Josh Lipowsky | Local | Published: 07 November 2008 A group of 13 students from Torah Academy of Bergen County and Fair Lawn High School traveled to Texas last week to help with hurricane relief efforts. Top from left, Eddie Ostrovsky, Dani Fidrya, Rabbi Ethan Katz, Yoni Audi, Rabbi Yechiel Shaffer, Gavi Berger, Rabbi Josh Kahn, Jeremy Levart, Rabbi Yosef Golubchek, Dan Hoest. Bottom from left, Ely Shestack, Avi Schwartz, Akiva Buckman, Ezra Fishman, Jason Katz, Yair Klyman, Tzvi Atkin. Thirteen students from Torah Academy of Bergen County and Fair Lawn High School returned on Sunday from Texas, after spending two days last week helping residents clean up their homes damaged or destroyed during Hurricane Ike. The trip, organized by the Orthodox Union’s National Council of Synagogue Youth and the Teaneck­based TABC, was inspired by one the youth group and yeshiva took to New Orleans last year. Ten TABC students went to the embattled city last fall to help with ongoing Hurricane Katrina reconstruction efforts. “After following the story of Ike, we decided that instead of going to New Orleans it’d be more real to go to a place that had just had a hurricane there and needed a lot of help,” said Rabbi Josh Kahn, TABC’s director of student activities, who accompanied the students. This year’s volunteers, a mix of juniors and seniors, arrived in Beaumont, Texas, last Wednesday night and spent the following two days in Oak Island, working with Nechama, a Jewish disaster relief organization based in Minneapolis and St.

Nationally, Shalom Academy will be the first Hebrew-language public school in a densely populated day-school area. Hebrew charter schools in Florida, Brooklyn, and East Brunswick are in districts with smaller day-school enrollments. As a result, Shalom Academy is likely to test parents’ interest in choosing free Hebrew and general studies over a more comprehensive but expensive Jewish day school. Both local Solomon Schechters (enrolling approximately 500) and the modern Orthodox schools (enrolling 4,000+) could be affected. A community meeting about the school’s concept two years ago attracted hundreds of people, many Orthodox. Some parents said they were curious but did not plan to remove their children from day schools. Others were more open, hoping to combine free charter school with after-school, high-quality Torah education at a fraction of the cost of day school. This seems to be the agenda of the organizer of the new school, Raphael Bachrach, whose interest in attracting students away from local day schools was one reason that the National Center for Hebrew Language Charter Schools distanced itself from the effort. I believe that 1) Hebrew language public schools plus after-school religious education cannot approach the benefits of day school education, and 2) Englewood/Teaneck is the wrong place for a Hebrew public school. Here’s why: History teaches that supplementary schooling cannot get the job done.
