Mazel tov to Shirley on this well-deserved honor.

Together with Perry z״l, she built a remarkable legacy of generosity and dedication to Jewish education and the

strengthening of Yiddishkeit for generations.

Our family is deeply grateful.

My children, David (HA '71), Karen (HA '73), and Lisa (HA '77),
cherished their years at the Hebrew Academy and carry those values with them always.

Meaningful Jewish life is grounded in education, thus it is particularly important at this time to support the schools that serve our community so wonderfully. We are delighted to offer our mazal tov to AJA for effectively strengthening Jewish literacy, values and identity for many, many years!

A special shout out to Shirley, Guest of Honor, who has always punched far above her feather weight (while also entertaining us with her delightful sense of humor). She and her beloved Perry Z'L have done so much to establish, lead, and support Jewish education in Atlanta. We, our children and our community owe them a huge debt of gratitude.

Mazal tov also to the other honorees, as well as all the dedicated teachers, staff, and lay leaders at the school.

May you go from strength to strength!

Rafael Harpaz and Elizabeth Herman

This honor is a beautiful reflection of the light you bring to
the Atlanta Jewish community.

We celebrate you today and always.
