Greater Miami Jewish FederationDear Friends:On behalf of the Officers, Board of Directors and Staff of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, we congratulate Alexander S.

Today, Hebrew Academy offers classes from pre-school through highschool, emphasizing the relevance of Jewish tradition in the modern world, as well as the importance of knowledge as the basis for success in life.A remarkable aspect of Hebrew Academy is the synthesis of its commitment to traditional Jewish pedagogy and its dedication to the most modernteaching methods. The result is a body of students who are taught an appreciation of Jewish values, a love of Israel and the Jewish people, andan understanding of the difference each individual can make in our world.We proudly recognize Hebrew Academy’s Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Zvi Kahn, President Jennifer Dobin, and the Board of Directors, Staff andvolunteers for their commitment to the highest level of educational excellence and the important role they play in shaping the future leaders of ourJewish community. After 69 years of success, may the Rabbi Alexander S. Gross Hebrew Academy continue to light the path of Torah, mitzvotand academic achievement for generations to come.Sincerely,Amy N.
