We are delighted to be honored alongside community leaders Irit
& David Goldman, and Kohelet teachers & Staff Ilana &
Rabbi Jonny Gordon.

Kohelet has been a lodestar of our religious and educational
focus for as long as we've been living in Philadelphia and we
are committed to seeing it continue to grow and thrive.

All three of our sons have wandered its halls, been inspired by
its Torah, and grown there as menschen, each seeking his own path
to ha-Kadosh Barukh Hu and His Torah.

For this and more we are grateful to the rabbis, teachers, and
staff of Kohelet.

To our beloved children- Irit and David Goldman,

וכל בניך לימודי ה' ורב שלום בניך אל תקראי ״בניך״ אלא

בוניך שלום רב לאהבי תורתך ואין למו מכשול

And all your children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be

the peace of your children (Isaiah 54:13).

Do not read your children [banayikh], but your builders [bonayikh]. Torah

scholars are those who build peace for their generation. Your lives are a

beautiful reflection of these words. We are so proud of the family and the

home that you are building together, and your

untiring work on behalf of Kohelet.

And mazal tov to your fellow builders, our friends Joel Hecker and

We're so grateful to be part of the Kohelet community! We appreciate:

- the Kohelet students... your energy, questions, creativity, love of Torah, and cohesiveness bring us joy!

- the Kohelet faculty... you guide our children's learning with skill and warmth, building connections to knowledge, Torah, and Am Israel with intention.

- the Kohelet staff and administrative leadership (past and present!)... your vision for and dedication to child-centered Torah education drew us in almost a decade ago and continues to inspire us.

- our fellow Kohelet parents... it's a privilege to be on this journey with you. From WhatsApp groups to walking-to-school groups, your friendship and community animate our day to day life. We are so lucky to raise our children in this village.

- the Kohelet board members, volunteers, donors, and their families... we see and are so grateful for all you do every day to make this community and this education a reality.

Mazal Tov to our dear friends, Frani & Joel (in the running for Netta's favorite Shabbat lunch hosts) and Rabbi & Ilana Gordon (your support in school, camp stone, and everything in between have been invaluable! It won't be purim without your ice cream truck).

Jonny and Ilana: You have shown us all that one need not be the loudest in the room to have the most lasting effect. Through the Torah you have taught, and the Torah that you live, you have molded, strengthened, and inspired a generation.

To be a leader, you do not need a crown or robes of office. All you need to do is to write your chapter in the story, do deeds that heal some of the pain of this world, and act so that others become a little better for having known you. Live so that, through you, our ancient covenant with God is renewed in the only way that matters: in life. - Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

THANK YOU to Frani & Joel & family, Irit & David and Ilana & R' Jonny for writing such inspiring & uplifting stories... offering chessed every day to heal the pain of this world... and making us all better for knowing each & every one of you!

May the Holy One reward their kindness with strength, health, and joy. May their hands be blessed for the work they do, their words be blessed for the comfort they bring, and their hearts be blessed for the love they share. Through their dedication, they sustain our prayers, our learning, and our acts of chessed. May they go from strength to strength, and may their example inspire others to join in building a community of holiness, compassion, and peace.

To all of our colleagues, fellow parents and friends at Kohelet,

Ever since we moved here 13 years ago, we have felt so blessed to be a part of this community. Kohelet warmly embraced our entire family when Jonny began teaching here in 2013 and we were so lucky to have Nitzan join KYLS's first Kindergarten class two years later. We have loved being able to send all of our kids to a school that aligns with our values and working here has been incredibly meaningful and fulfilling for both of us. We will miss all of our friends, colleagues and students so much and we look forward to seeing all of you in Israel!

A huge mazal tov to Irit and David Goldman and Frani Pollack and Joel Hecker. It is an honor to be honored alongside you. Your tireless dedication to the Kohelet community is inspiring!
