THANK YOU  
for making Manna from Heaven a success!
Dear Friends,

We are so grateful to all who joined us on Thursday night to celebrate Beit Rabban and our honorees, and we hope you had a wonderful time. Thank you as well to those who submitted journal ads, made donations, and contributed to the online auction. We are delighted to announce that we exceeded our fundraising goals because of your investment! 

In case you missed them at the event, links to the videos, speeches and online journal are included below as well as photos from the event! Tali Rosenblatt-Cohen and Debbie Katz gave powerful speeches and shared the following amazing news:
  1. We had close to 100% participation from Beit Rabban families in our fundraising efforts this year.
  2. We are expanding our 86 Street Campus to add space at the Jewish Center that includes a full gym, and it will be the home of the new Beit Rabban Middle School.
  3. We are launching a  5.5 million dollar Funding Our Future Campaign  to support our growth, 4 million of which is already committed !
  4. Our board of trustees has decided to freeze tuition for the next four years through the graduation of our first Middle School class.
In the words of Debbie Katz,  "the state of our union is strong... because of all of you!"
