It is with deep appreciation and heartfelt gratitude that we join the Hebrew Day School community in honoring Rabbi Weiser on the occasion of his retirement, and in remembering his beloved wife, Mrs. Betty Weiser, of blessed memory.

     Our family has been profoundly touched by their dedication and love. Both of our daughters were fortunate to have Mrs. Weiser as a teacher. Her warmth, patience, and unwavering belief in each child's potential left a lasting impression-not only on our daughters, but on us as parents.

     She brought joy, dignity, and a deep love of Torah into her classroom every day.

Rabbi Weiser's more than 40 years of service to the school has helped shape generations of students with integrity, wisdom, and a strong Jewish identity. His leadership, humility, and commitment to Torah values have elevated the entire school community.

     Now, a generation later, our grandchildren also had the privilege of attending Hebrew Day School, continuing the legacy of learning and values that Rabbi and Mrs. Betty Weiser helped build. We feel incredibly blessed that our family has been guided and nurtured by such extraordinary educators.

     May Rabbi Weiser go from strength to strength in this new chapter and may Betty's memory

continue to be a source of blessing and inspiration for us all.

 

With admiration and affection,

Deborah and Maxwell Brookler

Dear Rabbi Weiser, It is impossible to express in words the gratitude we feel to you and Betty (a'h) for all you have done for our family and the Jewish community in San Diego. The fact that multiple generations of our family and extended family have a strong Jewish education is due to you and the incredible Hebrew Day School that you have created. We feel so blessed that you and Hebrew Day have been part of our lives for so many years. Yasher Koach for all your amazing efforts, and for creating the foundational pillar of Jewish education in San Diego. Your impact is truly immeasurable, and will be felt for generations to come.

With gratitude and love, Abe, Pam, Benjamin, and Yael Broudy

Tribute to Morton Vogelson (a'h)

 

San Diego Hebrew Day School is honored to be the recipient of Mr. Vogelson's Legacy Gift. Mr. Vogelson chose to extend his commitment to our school with a Legacy Gift to benefit our Endowment Fund. His vision in providing this perpetual support benefits future generations of San Diego Hebrew Day School students.

 

"It is my hope that all Jewish children in the San Diego community will grow up as delighted and grateful to be a Jew as I am. To me charity and community are closely linked.

If we don't help each other, who will? The giving of charity is greater than all offerings."

Tribute to Leonard and Ruth Zanville (a'h)

 

Mr. and Mrs. Zanville took it upon themselves to promote, support, and give leadership to Hebrew Day School. In 1971 they dedicated the school's science lab as the Hattie Zanville Memorial Science Laboratory, and each year an award is given honoring the memory of Leonard's mother.

 
Leonard stated in 1968: "Jewish education places a special emphasis upon wisdom, and Torah education is the wisdom that deals with human life. The San Diego Hebrew Day School has made learning, which is the great ideal of the Jew, a reality for hundreds of Jewish children, and will continue to educate thousands more in the future."   

 
We gratefully acknowledge their generous support and thank Karen and Howard Langfus-for creating the Leonard and Ruth Zanville Scholarship Endowment in memory of their parents.
