  • Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh HEAD of SCHOOL HEBREW ACADEMY of NASSAU COUNTY, WEST HEMPSTEAD, NY
    Maurice Ralph Julis Principal Training Institute Maurice Ralph Julis Principal Training Institute Maurice Ralph Julis Principal Training Institute anKeeping Eye on PTI SPOTLIGHT ON... Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh HEAD OF SCHOOL HEBREW ACADEMY OF NASSAU COUNTY, WEST HEMPSTEAD, NY CREATING MAGIC IN YOUR SCHOOL Rabbi Yaakov Sadigh is an educator whose name has become familiar to Consortium members during the last few months. He wowed principals with his Creating “Magic” in Your School presentation at the 2019 CoJDS Think Tank, offered a compelling session on creating an action plan to PTI cohort members during their Fall 2019 semester, and enhanced the August 2019 Journal of Jewish Day School Leadership with an article entitled, Is Your School the Happiest Place on Earth? The avid interest in his message comes as no surprise to those who have known Rabbi Sadigh for years and have seen the implementation of his vision at the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County-West Hempstead Campuses (hanc) where he serves as Head of School. Together with Mrs. Bar- bara Deutsch, hanc’s Associate Principal, and Rabbi Michael Merrill, the Assistant Principal of the Judaic Stud- ies Department, Rabbi Sadigh has created an environment at hanc where both students and staff can thrive. Rabbi Sadigh joined hanc eight years ago and was charged with growing the school and creating a school vision. He sought to create a culture that reflected the simple values combined with the rich emphasis on education found in the welcoming West Hempstead community to which the school belongs. Additionally, Rabbi Sadigh had always been intrigued by best practices that he experienced on a trip to Disneyland, and started attending seminars at the Walt Disney Company in order to learn The Business Behind the Magic.

Page 3 REMEMBERING RAV BINYAMIN With warmth & dedication, he built a thriving Yeshiva and community .......................... Page 4 YOSS MEMORABLE MOMENTS Sharing the excitement .......................... Page 10 PAGE 2 MESSAGE FROM THE ROSH YESHIVA Sefer Shemos is the story of the emergence of Klal Yisrael from a small tribe of the progeny of Yaakov, to a thriving nation with millions of descendants, who accepted upon themselves the yoke of Torah. It is the story of a nation that went out to a desert and sowed the seeds of the future – a future that thrives to this very day. More than sixty years ago, my grandfather Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky, zt”l, charged my father and mother with the formidable task, “Go to the desert and plant the seeds of Torah.” What started as a fledgling school with six or seven boys, flourished more than a hundred fold. With institutions of tefilah, and higher Torah learning, all the outgrowth of that initial foray into the desert, my father’s impact is not only eternal but ever-expanding. This year’s dinner will mark both the commemoration of those accomplishments and a commitment to the renewal, refurbishment and expansion of the Torah facility he built brick by brick in 1964. Whether you are a student, an alumnus, a parent or community member, my father’s vision touched your life, and I hope that you will join us in honoring his.

November 2, 2018 Second Agudah Yeshiva Summit Draws Record-breaking Number of Yeshiva Executive Directors, Administrators, and Government Officials Across the State for a Day of Learning “Last year, coming to the Agudah Yeshiva Expo saved our school half a million dollars!” – Rabbi Moshe Benayon, Associate Executive Director, Yeshivat Shaare Torah Creating an event that reaps results like that is a tough act to follow. But Agudath Israel of America wanted to deliver even more to our yeshivos after its inaugural event for NY yeshiva executive directors and administrators last year. The Yeshiva Expo – rebranded as the Yeshiva Summit to better reflect its character – moved to an even larger venue to accommodate the increased number of guests and vendors. In addition to the formal sessions on legal, funding, and compliance topics offered at the summit, time was dedicated for yeshiva administrators to consult, gratis, with Homeland Security, attorneys, accountants, Agudah staff, consultants, and the government officials who administer key nonpublic school governmental programs. This way, administrators could ask individual questions in addition to hearing the day’s sessions. Another innovation of the Yeshiva Summit, which occurred at Terrace on the Park on October 24, was the Legislative Luncheon, at which nearly 20 New York City, New York State, and Federal elected officials participated.
