About
Welcome to the Lubavitch Cheder Day School Gala Dinner 2017!
If you ever walk the halls of the Cheder on a regular day, you will experience the warm sensation of Judaism’s bright future. The sing-song of children excitedly studying Torah and their joyful sounds of learning the Alef-beis fill the corridor; students learning and playing in a wholesome environment where they are taught to be proud of their Judaism. The innocence. The excitement. The feeling that the Jewish future is alive and well, Am Yisroel Chai!
This is a special year for the Cheder. This past September, for the 40th time, we welcomed the Jewish people’s greatest asset – our children - through our doors. We have recommitted ourselves to providing them with the best possible Jewish education.
The cornerstone of a Cheder education, the basis of our philosophy and the theme of this year’s dinner is Educating Love.
The strong emotional bond that the children develop with Judaism while still in their formative years creates the enduring connection that empowers them to weather life’s challenges. It is the Love of Hashem, Love of the Torah and [primarily, and as a gateway to the others] Love of our People that is tenderly nurtured within them from the youngest age. This, perhaps above all else, inspires their future choices and lifestyle. This is the living example - set by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory - that the students experience daily at the Lubavitch Cheder.
Senator Rudy & Ellen Boschwitz, our guests of honor, are not just associated with great causes; they are whole-heartedly invested for the benefit of the Jewish community. No matter the scale of the issue, if it is connected with the Jewish community it is of importance to them. That love is an example and an inspiration for so many thousands of people.
The community leadership award goes, most befittingly, to Dr. Richard & Dianne Smookler. The Smooklers have been a paradigm of this form of love in our community for so many years. While they have taken up numerous leadership roles within the Jewish community at large, perhaps what stands out most is their love and dedication to each individual in their sphere of influence.
We ask you, the partners and supporters of this great endeavor to help us make this year’s gala dinner an outstanding success. We cannot do it without you!
