Good morning,

Congratulations to each of our student athletes who were recognized at last night's magnificent High School athletic banquet. Special thanks to all of our coaches and our athletic director David Zimmerman for an outstanding year in AYA sports. Go Bulldogs!

On another note, I am delighted to share the news with you that AYA has finalized hiring four new Judaics faculty members to join our community:
Rabbi Adiel and his wife Morah Rachel Nachshoni (left) come to AYA from the South Peninsula Hebrew Day School of Sunnyvale, California with their three children. Evyatar and his wife Chen Ifergan (right) join us from Israel with their three children.

Please join me in welcoming both families to our community. They bring to AYA a rich background in Jewish education and all four will teach in the Lower School this fall. 

I look forward to welcoming the greater Dallas Jewish community to our annual fundraiser tomorrow evening. AYAlways Mishpacha Lag B’Omer Community Carnival is certain to be fun for all ages and a wonderful celebration of Early Childhood Program director Jordana Bernstein's 27 years of service to Akiba Yavneh Academy!

All the best,
Chris Gorycki
Interim Executive Director
