New Eym Bayit!

We are thrilled to announce that SFW will be welcoming a new Eym Bayit for the start of the 5772 (2011-2012) school year: Mim Schwedel!

Mim is a beloved alumnus and teacher at SFW: she attended SFW for the 2006-2007 school year and returned to SFW during night seder for the last 3 years.

We are excited to welcome Mim to SFW where she will live with her husband Danny and son Avraham Tzvi!

As we welcome, Mim and her family to Sha’alvim, we say farewell to our current, wonderful Eym Bayit, Chani Kupinsky. Chani was a madricha at SFW during our first year (2005-2006) and, after she got married, she and her husband Dov became our Eym and Av Bayit. Chani has been a beloved fixture at SFW for the last 4 years. Their two children, Tzvi and Shira, were born at SFW! We, like Tzvi and Shira, have grown at SFW with Chani’s trademark laughter, huge heart and infectious smile! We will miss Chani and her family and wish her much hatzlacha!

Mesibat Siyum for SFW Class of 5771

Believe it or not, the Mesibat Siyum was held this past Sunday. 

As sad as we are to see the year end, the Mesiba was a celebration! We celebrated our students’ accomplishments, their learning and their progress.

We and the students also used the occasion to express our appreciation for their outstanding teachers.

We looked back at the wonderful year of experiences, achievements, and growth. But we also looked forward to the girls’ continued Torah learning and development. Our sadness in seeing the year end is mitigated by who they are and by the hope and prayer that we continue to stay in touch both individually and as a group!

Inspiring words of Dr. Michael Elman

Sha'alvim Executive Board Member, Dr. Michael Elman, was a passenger on El Al flight 27 a few weeks ago. That flight, departing from Tel Aviv, was scheduled to land in Newark, NJ a few weeks ago. The flight made an emergency landing back in Israel after discovering a problem with their landing gear. 

Baruch Hashem, the flight made an uneventful - but miraculous - landing! Read his inspiring account of the flight: click here.

As part of our festive and introspective Yom Yerushalayim celebrations, we were privileged to hear a sicha from our very own, Rav Dovid Fuchs.
