Dear Abra and Michele,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and deepest appreciation for your outstanding leadership, dedication, and vision in guiding our educational programs. Your commitment to nurturing Jewish learning, fostering spiritual growth, and building a vibrant, inclusive community is truly inspiring. Through your tireless efforts, you have enriched the lives of our students and families and strengthened the foundation of TBJ. We are proud to celebrate your achievements and grateful for the wisdom, compassion, and creativity you bring to your roles. May you continue to go from strength to strength in your sacred work. With admiration and gratitude,

MAZEL TOV to our amazing Mom and Mima on this well-deserved honor! We are incredibly proud of you and your unwavering dedication to every child, caregiver, teacher, and staff member who is part of TBJ's ECC community. As your family, we know that everyone in this building is your family, and you are a true role model to all of us and reflect the very best of our community's values. Your warmth fills every classroom and every heart. You lead with compassion, joy, and wisdom. It is really remarkable to consider the magnitude of your impact - you have ushered generations of students and parents throughout this community, and have left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of thousands.
We are so fortunate to get to learn from you every day. Today we celebrate not only an inspirational preschool director, but the most loving and devoted Mom and Mima we could ever ask for.
We love you so much!
XOXOXO

To Our Dear Friend, Colleague and Leader, Michele Feingold,
Your dedication, guidance, and unwavering support inspire us everyday. You model what it means to lead with heart, purpose, and kindness. Thank you for helping each of us grow, and for creating a community where children, families and staff all thrive.

And to our colleague and wonderful friend, Abra Lee, 
Mazal Tov on this well deserved honor!
Your wisdom, warmth, and love of learning inspires us all! 
With love always,

Dear Michele and Abra-

Sending the greatest thanks, hugs and kisses to you both!  

Michele: there is no one more dedicated, precise, or caring than you! You know the name of every student and parent in the ECC, can spot a crooked bulletin board from three classrooms away, and somehow also make sure every blueberry at the Blueberry Festival is perfectly juicy for our little ones. I love working alongside you in my second (and sometimes first!) job on the PTO. You make everything run seamlessly (and beautifully), and we're all so lucky to have you!

Abra- thank you for being so dedicated to ensuring our children's religious education is meaningful and fulfilling!! You do everything you can to make the REC engaging, thoughtful, and welcoming! We feel so lucky to have Jackson under your care and can't wait for Noa to join the fun soon, too!

 

Congratulations Michele and Abra on this well deserved honor! Michele - we are so fortunate to have had you in our corner so many years ago! You told us to give Carly the gift of time and you were so right - even when we didn't want to hear it! Thank you for your words of wisdom and for being the most incredible cheerleader - we are so lucky to have you in our life. The ECC has only continued to grow bigger and brighter because of you. We love you! Abra - thank you for making religious school such an enriching and memorable experience for Carly - especially during the pandemic. Somehow you made what seemed impossible possible and kept everyone engaged and happy! Watching her become a Bat Mitzvah and confirmed at TBJ was something we will never forget and it is in large part due to you. Through Collins, Heritage and LHS - you were always the sweetest and will hold a special place in our hearts forever!!! With Love and Admiration,
