Message from Ellen Green,
Assistant Director of Institutional
Advancement, Parent and Alumni
Relations
Spring has sprung for most of us and we can finally say
goodbye to “Old Man Winter.” The Office of Institutional
Advancement has been very busy over the last quarter
organizing and implementing many successful
fundraising projects due to your continuous support of
and interest in the American Hebrew Academy.
The end of another school year is fast approaching. It is
always a bittersweet time of the year when the Class of
2105 gets ready, with great anticipation and excitement,
for their senior class trip and of course graduation day.
Ellen Green, Assistant Director of
Institutional Advancement,
Parent and Alumni Relations
As the Academy matures, so do its founding faculty, gracefully of course! At the end of this
academic year, my, good friend, colleague, and founding faculty member, Mr. Charles A.
Newell, Jr., will be retiring. His contributions to the Academy are numerous. Chuck has
been a history teacher, a department chair, our Commodore of the Boathouse, and so very
much more. But he will be most celebrated as a stellar teacher, advisor, and mentor to our
students over the past 13 years. We will honor him and celebrate his long and distinguished
career at the Academy with a dessert reception on May 4, 2015.
Included in this issue of Pathway to the Future, Derek L’Atid, are ways you may honor our
seniors and pay tribute to Charles Newell. In addition, we recognize all of our Academy
donors who have made charitable gifts thus far this current fiscal year, as well as to thank
our devoted Academy volunteers.
On behalf of the Academy I wish to express my sincerest appreciation to you all for your
invaluable support.

From a leap of faith to a
fulfillment of the
American Dream at the
American Hebrew Academy:
the story of Eva Moshkovich
The American Dream is one of rags to riches. It is a story in which a penniless
immigrant creates success, the ideal fairy tale in which the United States is the land of
opportunity, a place where dreams can come true. For Eva Moshkovich, who grew up
in Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, the American Dream is no myth.
At the American Hebrew Academy in Greensboro, NC, foreign students are put on the
fast track to achieving their dreams through the transformative power of education.
The Academy, founded in 2001, is the only international Jewish college prep boarding
school in the world, where intellectually
adventurous teenagers from all over the
country, and the world, come together
in a unique environment on a 100-acre
lakefront campus.
Eva Moshkovich was born in 1992
and raised in Beltsy, Moldova, part of
the town’s small Jewish community.
Through the generosity of two
Greensboro residents, Irene Cohen and
Shelly Weiner, Eva was able to attend
high school at the American Hebrew
Academy, graduate on the honor roll,
continue on to a rewarding college
education at Mt. Holyoke and launch a
career as a computer scientist.
Eva Moshkovich ‘10

Eva shares: “Coming to the American
Hebrew Academy changed my life
significantly. It made it possible for me
to be where I am in life now. Since my
first coming to the Academy 8 years ago,
I went from not knowing how to turn
on a laptop to becoming a computer
scientist with a great job that I love! I
will never forget the look on the face of
Continued...
the IT person when she gave me the laptop and I examined it carefully and then asked
how to turn in on.”
These achievements would not have been possible without Irene Cohen and Shelly
Weiner, who, along with Frank and Nancy Brenner, sponsored Eva’s education at
the American Hebrew Academy. Cohen and Weiner are Greensboro residents who
are both extremely active in both Jewish education and Jewish philanthropy, and
sponsoring Eva at the Academy was for them a high point in their commitment to
support the needs of Jewish youth from around the globe.
Irene Cohen shared her thoughts: “There is no greater sense of pride than to see a
young person come into her own, go out in the world, and succeed. The students who
come here are so lucky to receive this education, and Eva is a perfect example of a true
life rags to riches story.”
Shelly Weiner expressed her admiration for Eva and what she was able to achieve.
She speaks of Eva with great pride, if she was one of her daughters: “Eva has always
been goal oriented, even when she came here at fourteen. She had gone out and taught
herself English because she wanted to come to the United States and the Academy so
badly.”
Weiner, who was herself born in the Ukraine, is committed to Jewish education
because of the confidence it imbues: “The more knowledge you have, the more secure
you are in who you are, in yourself, your family, and how you want to live your life.
The Academy is unusual in that it encompasses all parts of Judaism in its approach. It
is not just another Jewish school, it is truly exceptional. And to have such a school in
Greensboro is so unusual and really amazing.”
Irene continued: “The Academy is a dream, really, the manifestation of a dream. It
was Chico’s dream, and it’s amazing that a man who lived a modest life, even though
he could have lived in luxury, dedicated himself to founding this school, because what
was important to him was to establish the Academy for young people to get this kind
of education.”
Cohen and Weiner were connected to Eva through the Greensboro Jewish Federation,
which forged a relationship with the town of Beltsy, Moldova in 2000. The Federation,
in cooperation with the American Joint Distribution Committee, runs an annual week
long summer camp for Jewish youth, built and dedicated a Jewish Community Center
complete with library and computer lab, and coordinates medical assistance for
Jewish citizens of Beltsy.
The goal of the partnership, according to Deborah Kintzing, who runs the program on
behalf of the Greensboro Jewish Federation, is to rebuild Jewish life through moral,
material, professional, and educational support to this region.
Kintzing met Eva as a young girl through the summer camp program, and like Cohen
and Weiner, speaks warmly of Eva and her journey: “For a child to take this step, to
come to the United States alone at 13 years old, speaks to her inner strength.”
But Kintzing also spoke of the strength of Eva’s parents, when they made the choice
7
The story of Eva Moshkovich...
to send Eva to the American Hebrew Academy: “When a parent chooses to let
a child take advantage of an opportunity like moving to the United States and
going to the American Hebrew Academy, they are letting go of their child. That
child will not go back to a life in Beltsy, Moldova after they see the opportunities
available in the United States. It is a difficult choice for a parent to make, to
hand over your child to strangers, and hope that your child will do better than
you were able to do.”
Eva knows that she was fortunate to be sponsored by Cohen and Weiner, and
to have the opportunity she was granted: “I think I was very lucky to get to go
to AHA. And luck did play a big role there. I heard about AHA from a group of
people from the Greensboro Jewish community, who traveled to Moldova and
organized a summer camp. I went to the camp several times, and heard about
AHA. Decided I wanted to go… They knew my English was not nearly good
enough, so it was a leap of faith that AHA administration had to take when
deciding whether to let me in or not. I am very thankful that they believed in
me and decided to give me a chance. And this changed my life.”
Eva Moshkovich was born in Beltsy, Moldova, just after the dissolution of the
Former Soviet Union. Eva’s parents were professionals who were both involved
in the available Jewish activities, especially her mother, who worked part-time
teaching Hebrew and Jewish history and traditions.
Eva does not remember
facing blatant anti-Semitism
during her childhood, but
remembers the lack of
options, and says she always
knew that she was going to
leave Moldova for a brighter
future. When she was 12
years old, her family got
their first computer, and an
internet connection followed
the next year. For Eva, this
opened doors to what would
become her vocation.
“When I was 13, we got
internet, and I started
spending some of my time
learning the things I can do
online. I was familiar with
computers and internet
before, because I would
sometimes go to my father’s
8

workplace in the evenings to
do things on a computer, but it
was very different to have one at
home,” she explained.
Shelly Weiner shared: “This is a
young woman who has always
had goals, a very innovative
young woman, who, knowing
little about our society here,
worked hard to teach herself
English on the computer, and
read books to equip herself for
American culture, and I think that
is very clever.”
In Moldova, Eva was not able to
take advanced courses in school,
and found herself bored in the
classroom. There is no question
that had she not been able to
come to the American Hebrew
Academy through the generosity
of her sponsors, her path would
have been very different.
Shelley Weiner (l) and Irene Cohen (r)
“At the American Hebrew
Academy I learned how to learn. In Moldova, the education system was not stimulating
enough for me to need to study for more than half an hour a day. At the Academy, the
curriculum was hard, and especially since I barely spoke any English when I first came, I
had to study a lot. The ability to study is a very important skill, which will always be useful.
As a programmer, I will be using it for the rest of my life. AHA prepared me really well for
college and beyond.”
Irene Cohen spoke of her pride: “It is such a rewarding feeling to see her success. We are so
proud of her. When I talk about Eva and her accomplishments, it’s as if I am talking about
my own child, or grandchild. We are just truly so so proud of her and the way she has done
things, it is truly just amazing.”
Cohen and Weiner spoke of Eva’s transition to life in the United States, and at the American
Hebrew Academy. They purchased everything Eva needed for her dorm room, always made
sure she had pocket money, and taught her about American customs. They also encouraged
her to try everything that was now available to her at school, from challenging academic
courses, to fulfilling Jewish life electives, to the wide range of athletic and art activities
offered to students at the American Hebrew Academy.

The story of Eva Moshkovich...
Continued...
And so Eva was active in many things on campus: “At AHA, I was able to try
a lot of things that I would not get to try in Moldova. Almost each trimester I
would take some sport. During the 4 years I got to do yoga, rock climbing, and
swimming. I was on the swimming team for about two years and even took a
lifeguarding class and then worked as a lifeguard at the swimming pool at AHA!
I played tennis. I also went ice skating several times as a school trip. I also got to
participate in several plays, and even got an acting award my freshman year. In
college, I also got to take different classes such as table tennis and diving. I also
got very interested in tango, and plan to continue to go to tango events from
time to time even now after graduation.”
After graduating from the American Hebrew Academy, Eva attended Mount
Holyoke College in Massachusetts, a top tier college. And it was her experience
in computer programming in high school that allowed her to not only decide on
her major in Computer Science, but opened the doors to jobs and internships.
Eva worked as a Web Design assistant at Mount Holyoke her sophomore year,
and then spent a semester abroad in Budapest, Hungary, at the prestigious
Aquincum Institute of Technology which led to a summer internship in
Budapest afterwards at LogMeIn. After graduating from Mount Holyoke in 2014
with a degree in Computer Science and a Math minor, she deferred graduate
school in favor of a position in Hartford, CT at Conning, a leading investment
management company for the global insurance industry, which specializes in
the field of programming economic scenario generators.
Eva has achieved great success, earned through hard work and dedication. But
she is also grateful for all the help she received along the way: “There were
people who helped me during my high school years. Irene Cohen and Shelly
Weiner were my host families and they made it possible for me to go to the
American Hebrew Academy, which changed my life. The impact these amazing
people had on me changed my life.”
Shelly Weiner, herself a Holocaust survivor, has always believed in the impact
that individuals can have on the lives of others. Her own life was saved when
she was a child, and has always wanted to help others as a result.
She told a story about taking Eva to see a play: “Eva turned around and asked
me, ‘Why are you doing this for me? Nobody in Moldova does this for other
people.’ And I told her, we do o it because we want to see you succeed, and
this makes us happy of course, but we hope that one day you will have the
opportunity to do this for someone else.”
Cohen added: “Sponsoring Eva was one of the most rewarding things I have
done in my life. There is no greater gift than helping a gifted young woman
receive an amazing education at the American Hebrew Academy, and seeing
where hard work and the opportunity to succeed has taken her.”

Student-led philanthropy
initiative has become
Academy institution
In 2005, a group of American Hebrew Academy students established the Four
Corners Tzedakah Fund as a student-led, student-run philanthropic fund whose goal
is to bring about positive change in the world. The success of this initiative is the
fulfillment of the Academy’s goal of educating the next generation of Jewish leaders –
in business, education, science and technology, and also in philanthropy.
Since its establishment, the Four Corners Tzedakah Fund has raised an average
of $6,000 per year. At the end of the school year, the students donate the money
they have raised to various charities voted upon by the student body. In the past,
organizations such as Invisible Children, a children’s hospital in Moldova, and
the Make a Wish Foundation have been recipients. Four Corners also sets aside a
portion of its money as tzedakah for the Academy’s scholarship fund in recognition
of the school’s support of the organization.
“At the Academy, we strive to educate the next generation of Jewish leaders,” said
Hillary Zaken, American Hebrew Academy’s Director of Communications. “Our
students are well aware of the impact they can have by giving back to the community.
They are all involved with Tikkun ‘Olam community service projects, and know
that philanthropy can exist on a large or small scale. Four Corners exemplifies the
philanthropic leadership our students have initiated on their own.”

On February 15, 2015, during
family Weekend, the Four
Corners Tzedakah Fund hosted
their Eighth Annual Silent
Auction to raise funds for
charitable causes. The students
involved collected items from
the Academy community
as well as from Greensboro
merchants to auction, including
art, travel tickets, gift cards,
and Judaica which raised over
$5,000.
Four Corners is led by a group
of seven students chosen each
Four Corners’ Silent Auction
year by the student body. This
year’s team included Abby
Shay, Sophie Goldstein, Madi Morris, Abril Fleitas, Rachel Sharkey, Allie Naude, Charlie
Freedman and Elana Fauth. Faculty Advisors Dr Scott Culclasure, Mackenzie McIlmail, and
Dr. Karen Dresser guide and supervise the students’ fundraising efforts.
Faculty Advisor Culclasure offered thanks to the Academy community and the Four Corners
board, for their contributions: “By supporting our Eighth Annual Silent Auction, you have
not only contributed in tangible ways; you have also demonstrated the value of giving
simply as a response to having been given.”
It was the inspiration given by Academy founder Chico Sabbah z”l and his family that
inspired the establishment of the Four Corners Tzedakah Fund. Sabbah, who had dedicated
himself to philanthropic ideals, founded the American Hebrew Academy in 1996.
Sabbah dreamed of developing a first of its kind Jewish community in which Jewish
teenagers from around the world and from all Jewish backgrounds could come together to
enrich their knowledge of Jewish culture, history, and religious practices, both traditional
and modern while preparing for admission to college and university and future positions
of leadership in the Jewish community. The students at the Academy have inherited that
dream.
In addition to fundraising, Four Corners works to educate students about pressing needs
around the world as a way of encouraging thoughtfulness to the allocation process. The
Fund’s stated goal is to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of philanthropy as
an acknowledgement that the Academy itself was founded through the vision, commitment,
and generosity of the Sabbah family.
Four Corners Tzedakah Fund, now in its 10th year, has become an American Hebrew
Academy institution inspiring students to build an education not only in academics and
Jewish studies, but in philanthropy as well.

On Purim we emphasize the
importance of friendship and
community by sending gifts of food,
Mish’loah Manot, to friends and
family far and wide. The Academy is
very grateful for the many
participants in this mitzvah this year.
Your efforts helped us to raise
$15,000!
Thank you also to our dedicated
volunteers who worked so hard to
package each Purim gift bag. This
was a monumental task this year as
Mother Nature was a bit
uncooperative.
