Dr. Tomer & Shari Haik
Honoree
Shari and Tomer have been living in Florida for 18 years with the last 10 years in the boca “Circle” community. Although having grown up in more traditional homes, as new parents, Shari and Tomer inherently felt the need to send their children to a Jewish Day School. This served as the catalyst for a complete lifestyle change. They heightened their observance of Torah and pursued a Torah education for their children infused with love for the State of Israel and the Jewish people. With the support and foundation of the “Circle” community, friends, family, and community leaders, the Haiks have found inspiration to continue growing and learning.
Originally from Israel, Tomer grew up in New York, and Shari in Toms River, NJ. Their paths merged while Tomer was a dental resident and Shari was completing her bachelor's degree. Soon after getting married they relocated to Florida searching for warmer weather. They have 4 children Bli Ayin hara, Joshua, Naomi, Nava, and Laya, and are grateful to raise them in a most vibrant community.
Having attended Hadar’s initial launch event back in 2015, Shari and Tomer saw the potential and the need for an institution and had expressed that it would be the most fitting teaching institution for their daughters. Since then, Hadar has proven to become a lot more than just that. In their home, it is a frequent topic of conversation and excitement, it is an inspiration for chesed projects and a powerhouse of learning. Having joined the Hadar faculty, Shari is now involved with the school while being exposed to unique learning opportunities only available to the students of the school. The nurturing and encouraging atmosphere at Hadar is evident in the growth of their daughter Naomi (class of 25) becoming the best version of her-highschool-self. Their two younger daughters Nava (class of ‘29) and Laya (Class of ‘31) are already frequently involved with Hadar, having attended countless Hadar events, Shabbatons and Chagigas, as well as routinely helping to prepare for programs and events. Hadar has really become a second home for the Haik’s and the students have become an extension of their family.
