In honor of

Mr. and Mrs. Dan & Liat Bensimon

Your tireless efforts, energy and devotion to building Hadar, as well as the many

Torah institutions in the South Florida community, is inspiring. Having the

privilege of working alongside the two of you since "Year Zero", has shown us

firsthand the tremendous dedication and commitment that you have towards

Klal Yisrael and Jewish education.

On a personal level, we are so grateful and appreciative of our deep and cherished

friendship. Our shared mission has not only strengthened our family's bond, but has

ensured that together we inspire and educate the next generation of Bnos Torah.

We wish you only continued health, happiness, mazel, and nachas from your

beautiful family. May Hashem shower you with much bracha for many years to come!

Mazel Tov!! 

Rabbi Moshe & Mrs. Michal Schochet

 

 

In honor of
Mr. and Mrs. Jim & Carla Levine

Your passion and excitement in becoming partners with us from the moment
that you joined the Hadar family is unparalleled. Thank you for your

commitment and generous support to Hadar High School for Girls.

On both a professional and personal level, we have had the privilege of being

colleagues for so many years. We feel so fortunate that our bonds of friendship

have strengthened even further as we work together to ensure that Hadar

continues to provide a stellar high school experience for the girls of South Florida.

May Hashem continue to bestow on you and your family much bracha, mazel,
health and happiness for many years to come!

Dan & Liat

You have been our partners in chinuch from our very beginning, most tangibly

with the charter papers you drafted that enabled us to officially create "Hadar Inc".

Since those early days, you've not only served as vocal cheerleaders and supporters

of Hadar and its administration, but you both also continually "lead by example".

Through the ideals and principles that govern your daily actions, you are both

well-positioned to serve as exemplary role models to our students,

our parent body, and our community at large.

We are incredibly grateful for the contributions you have made (and will no doubt
continue to make) to ensure the success of our students and our school.

With much appreciation for your continued partnership,
Shlomo Cohen
 

Jim & Carla

Mazal Tov on this most deserved honor. 

Getting to know you has been an absolute privilege. You each have done so

much throughout your lives -- quietly and selflessly, and yet so powerfully and

effectively -- to advance the fundamentals and essentials of Torah education

and Torah living. There is no more meaningful tribute to the incredible legacy

you have established throughout your lives, then to witness all your children
following in your path and footsteps.

It is my hope and bracha that your actions and lifelong commitment will continue

to inspire your children, your grandchildren, and so many others in Boca Raton,

Chicago and beyond.

Thank you so much for the generous contributions that have enabled

Hadar and its students and graduates to flourish in so many ways.

With tremendous respect and gratitude,
Shlomo Cohen
 
 

 

Hadar High School for Girls opened its doors in August of 2016. Our mission is to inspire

and educate each student at her level. We strive to develop Bnos Torah with a love of

Israel and a commitment to the greater Jewish people. Hadar is a place where students

learn Torah and learn how to live a life of Torah.

 
The Hadar faculty and administration are dedicated to excellence in Limudei Kodesh

and General Studies. Our academic program both challenges and supports each one

of our students at her own level. Our classes ensure that each student is positioned

to maximize her individual potential.
 
Hadar features a variety of extra-curricular programs and clubs that help students

explore and utilize their talents. Inspiring speakers, shabbatonim, Rosh Chodesh

programs, school trips, chessed, Israel advocacy, and student leadership all offer

meaningful and enjoyable outlets for our students to grow throughout

their high school experience.

With your support, we can continue to provide a place of growth and development for

the young women of South Florida for many years to come.

Dan and Liat Bensimon are pillars of the Hadar family and the greater Boca Raton Jewish community at large. After arriving in Boca in 2011, they immediately immersed themselves in building and enabling the growth of Torah institutions throughout the area. As one of the original founding families of Hadar High School, they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure Hadar's establishment, growth and continued success. As members of the Boca Raton Synagogue, the Bensimons have taken on leadership roles that reach every aspect of Torah life throughout Boca and support the ever-changing needs of a rapidly growing community. 
 
Dan, originally from Montreal, and Liat, from Mexico City, met in High School in South Florida, and together have a unique appreciation for the stunning development of Torah institutions in the local and surrounding areas. They have seven beautiful children: Abby, Orly, Adina, Haim Moshe, Azriel, Eitan and Tehila whom they are thrilled to be raising in such a wonderful community. 
 
Dan and Liat are so appreciative of the impact Hadar has had on their family and are in awe as they watch their daughter Abby (Hadar class of '24), experience the magic of Hadar every day.  They look forward to their daughters Orly (Hadar class of '27), Adina (Hadar Class of '29) and Tehila (Hadar class of ??) having the same privilege.

James and Carla Levine were very excited to move to Boca Raton from Chicago in 2020 so that their daughter Adina could start as a freshman at Hadar and they could live near their beloved Boca daughters & son-in-laws Rabbi Simmy & Devora Shabtai and  Eli & Daniella Jacobs (who has worked and taught at Hadar for the past 2 1/2 years) and adorable grandchildren Avigayil, Elisheva, Ezi and Shoshana, albeit still a plane ride away from their Boston and Ann Arbour sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren Dr. David & Elisheva Levine, Drs. Robert & Debra Levine, Michael & Becka Levine, Rafaela, Ami, Orlie, Anna, Sam & Daniel. Jim grew up in Hancock Park, L.A.and subsequently lived in Chicago; Carla was born in New York but moved to South Florida as a teenager-- originally moving to the "circle" in 1992 (and thus experiencing the tremendous growth of the schools and BRS community over the years). 
 
Jim and Carla were ideally hoping for an all girls' school for their daughter Adina, and were so appreciative for the creation of a college preparatory girls' school of the religious and academic caliber of Hadar (not to mention that Carla had taught alongside Rabbi & Mrs. Schochet for over ten years and could instantly trust in their inspirational, spiritual leadership). Jim and Carla take great joy in seeing their daughter and all the wonderful students flourish intellectually and spiritually in the beautiful, elevating atmosphere of Hadar and are dedicated to helping perpetuate Hadar's future, which is so important to the community.

We would like to express our appreciation...

To Rabbi Moshe & Michal Schochet

For your indefatigable, impassioned, adroit efforts to inspire all of Hadar's beautiful

young women and to provide them with an education and spiritual milieu that is

elevating and will provide them with a meaningful foundation for life.

 

To the esteemed faculty at Hadar

For your loving mentorship and academic acumen--you are extraordinary

 

To our Boca children: Rabbi Simmy & Devora Shabtai,

Elijahu and Daniella Jacobs, and Adina

We love you and are so deeply proud of all that you do to

contribute to the Jewish community

Our dear Adina...you are our light and exemplar of chesed and Ahavas Yisrael.

 

Wishing a Mazal Tov to Dan & Liat - it has been a joy knowing your wonderful

family for years and wish for you brachos and nachas

 

With much appreciation to Shlomo Cohen & all those who contributed

and worked so tirelessly on behalf of this dinner and Hadar.

Jim and Carla Levine
