Dear Mom,
Congratulations on winning the Educational Excellence Award. It is a well deserved honor, and we are so proud of all that you have accomplished.
We know that your journey to becoming a teacher has not been easy. You came to this country as an immigrant with a dream of teaching Hebrew. You worked hard to learn English and to gain your footing. You have dedicated your life to teaching, and you have made a real difference in the lives of your students. As the head of the Hebrew department at JKHA, you have created a vibrant and welcoming environment for students of all backgrounds. You have inspired your students to learn about their heritage and to be proud of their Jewish identity. You have also helped them to develop a love of learning that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
We are so grateful for your dedication to your students and to your profession.
You are a role model for all of us, and we are so proud to call you our mother.
With love
