Dear parents, alumni, and distinguished supporters of GRTWA,

Please save the date for our upcoming Gala on June 7, 2026. It will be a very special evening as we come together to celebrate a remarkable leader and cherished member of our school community—Dr. Moshe Vaknin. As he concludes his distinguished tenure as our Head of School, we will be hosting this year's gala in his honor, with the theme of Education. This event will be an opportunity to celebrate and reflect upon Moshe’s extraordinary impact on our students, faculty, and families over the past 30 years.

Throughout his leadership, Moshe has been tireless in his vision and dedication, from davening each morning with his guitar to teaching middle school classes during the day and continuing with PGLP, and adult education in the evening. As if that was not enough, Moshe has also opened our doors to conduct holiday services and bar/bat mitzvahs. His love of learning and commitment to his students of all ages, is unmatched.

The gala will not only serve as a heartfelt tribute to Moshe’s contributions, but also as a celebration of the enduring power of education to transform lives—something he has championed with passion and purpose.

We warmly encourage all parents, alumni, and members of our close-knit community to attend this meaningful event. Your presence will help honor Moshe’s legacy and support the continued growth of our school. Details regarding the venue, sponsorships, and ticket information will be shared in the coming months. We look forward to a memorable evening together, filled with gratitude, inspiration, and a shared commitment to the future of education.

With appreciation,

Alyssa Engleberg Nunn
President, Board of Trustees
