Mazal Tov and Best Wishes to Dara and Adam Karhu
 
Mazal Tov to our former colleague Dara Karhu
and her husband Adam on this well deserved honor.
Dara, your devotion to your students and your dedication
to HAFTR's Early Childhood program was reflected
in everything that you did.
 
You inspired your students on a daily basis and your teaching
was filled with enthusiasm, warmth, and good humor.
 
We are delighted to pay tribute to your commitment to HAFTR
and we are extremely proud to say that we knew you when....
 
The Morot of HAFTR's Early Childhood Program
 
Honoree
Mazal Tov to Adam and Dara on this most deserved honor.
Thank you for your tireless efforts and dedication on behalf of
the HAFTR school, we are so lucky to have you!
 
To Jeremy and Jessica, Mazel Tov on this most deserved honor.
Words cannot express my gratitude for your devotion
and dedication to the HAFTR School
and to my family personally.
 
My children, who have many years ahead of them in the HAFTR building,
will now always have the benefit of being reminded that their father
was a committed member of the HAFTR Community
and a supporter of the growth of all Jewish education.
 
Love,
Danna, Moshe, Bella and Leo
Honoree
No one deserves this Keter Shem Tov honor more than 
Jeremy and Dr. Jessica Kirschner.
They are two of the nicest people we know and we're not just
saying that because Jeremy was Adam's counselor
or because Jessica is our children's amazing doctor.
May you and your family continue to inspire us and others
in our community on the true meaning of Shem Tov!
 
Thank you to the 2014-15 HAFTR Basketball and Hockey teams
for exemplifying excellence and the pursuit of perfection.
Your teams relied on every individual member's contributions
but more importantly, on how all those efforts were combined in
just the right way for the singular goal of winning.
Your accomplishments should be a source of inspiration to all.
Sincerely,
Dara & Adam Karhu
Honoree
We are extremely humbled to be recognized by HAFTR for this Hakarat Hatov award. We will strive every day to represent HAFTR and all the Rabbis, Teachers, Administration, Benny, and Ari who make HAFTR such a wonderful organization. We are so grateful for every single staff member at HAFTR (from teachers to security to food service, etc.) and for the education HAFTR provides but more importantly, for the growth and development of our children into mentsches instilled with Torah values and a strong moral compass.
To our family members that are no longer with us but who are always watching over us- Bubby Esther, Bubby Leah, Zaidy Pinchas, Grandma and Grandpa Hochsztein, Grandpa Sidney, Aunt Minya, Uncle Abram, Uncle Ira and Aunt Elyse. You will always be in our hearts and we will do our best to ensure that our children and the future generations of our family look up to you and your lives as a source of inspiration and guidance. Many of them holocaust survivors, they epitomize what a strong Jew can accomplish
with love for Hashem and love for family.
To our family who are a constant source of love and kindness- Bubby Selma, Bubby Giselle and Papa Paul, Gee Fern, Pop Pop John and Ruth, Aunt Shari and Uncle David, Uncle Tom, Judy and Jay Hochsztein, Cheryl and Jeff Goldman, Aunt Lana and Aunt Heidi, Rena, Ben C. and the Chills, Ariella, Elliot and the Friedmans, Tani, Ben and the Gordons, and David and Sarah.
To our children- Shay, Layla, Jayda and Paisley. Our dream is for you to continue to grow up as kind-hearted and loving people. You make us very proud and we love you very much. We know that HAFTR is a perfect place for you. Although we are sometimes in disbelief of how fast you are all growing up so fast, we are eager to see how the next chapters of your lives play out.
To all of our friends who contributed and who are able to be here with us tonight- Thank you so much for always being there when we need you. You all mean so much to us and we look forward to all the future s'machot that we will enjoy together.
A special thanks to Perri and Sheila- you are amazing and somehow you always seem to find time to help other people in the community. Whether it's making sure the JCC food pantry is stocked or making phone calls and fundraising for several wonderful organizations, your positive impact is enormous and we're proud to call you good friends. With Love and Respect,
Dara & Adam Karhu
Honoree
To the Kalter Family- although only Adam was lucky enough
to have known Gilad through their mutual friends,
we wish we knew him better. We hear amazing things
about his character and the legacy
he has left behind for his family.
 
May his memory be blessed and may his Neshama
have an Aliyah. We are very excited for the new STEM lab
and we know that Gilad's legacy will live on in spirit
and as a part of HAFTR's brick and mortar.
 
Love,
Dara & Adam Karhu
Honoree
From camp to teacher to friend,
we are so glad to be on this journey together.
 
Mazel tov to Dara and Adam

Thank you to the 2014-15 HAFTR basketball

To those whom we have lost -
Zayde Shmelke, Grandpa Milty, Grandpa Leonard,
Bubby Sala, Poppa, and Dad -

To our strong family -
Bubby Helen, Super, Grandma Lorraine,
Mom and Harvey, Mom, Dad and Nancy, Jennie and Avi,
Shira and Aaron, all of our aunts, uncles, and cousins
you continue to define and model the importance of family,
dedication, and love. We are grateful for your constant support.
 
To the teachers, rebbeim, principals, and administrators at HAFTR -
you have taken our beautiful children
Michelle, Jordan, and Benjamin
and built upon the values and lessons that we have initiated in our home
to help them be better students and people, and to lead lives of a yiddeshe mentsch.
 
Jessica & Jeremy Kirschner
Honoree
To Danna,
We have grown up together
and shared life changing experiences, both joyous and tragic.
 
May we continue to be a part of each other's lives
for many years to come to provide love,
strength, and friendship to each other.
 
To Moshe, Bella, and Leo
We love you more than you know and are so proud
to help create this everlasting memory of your dad.
 
Jessica & Jeremy Kirschner
