The Fisher Family - Maimonides School
Maimonides School scholarship adbook 2007-2008/5768 2007-2008/5768 34 Philbrick Road • Brookline, MA 02445 • 617 232 4452 [email protected] • www.maimonides.org This book is dedicated to Jennifer & Scott Tobin, with affection and respect. 1 In 1937, the door opened on a bold experiment in Jewish learning. Rabbi Dr. Joseph Soloveitchik, lZvf, founded Maimonides School to engage the hearts and teach the minds of Jewish children. Its ambitious dual curriculum would pair proficiency in Torah education with excellence in general studies, preparing students to contribute to the modern world while invigorating their attachment to Judaism and a halachic way of life. Its atmosphere would inspire boys and girls equally to a love of learning, mitzvot, chesed, Am Yisrael, and Eretz Yisrael. From its first class of six students, this vision has blossomed into an energetic educational center of almost 600 students, learning together in Kindergarten through Grade 12. Students from Greater Boston and beyond, and from a wide range of religious backgrounds, are welcomed into a school community by teachers who reach out to motivate and educate. Student life begins with a full academic schedule and continues beyond the classroom with stimulating clubs, sports and activities. Chesed and tzedakah efforts are part of daily life, demonstrating students’ compassionate awareness of their relationship to the wider world and their willingness to take action. Indeed, the values fostered by this school community endure; Maimonides graduates have earned an enviable reputation for leadership and accomplishment in every field of human endeavor. For over six decades, they have brought the Rav’s vision to life—Torah life, and contemporary life. Maimonides students are at home with intensive study, academic achievement and schedules brimming with activity. More important, Maimonides students are at home with halachic life, indelibly connected to Judaism, and dedicated to perpetuating the sacred tradition. From the youngest to those on the eve of graduation, these are lives shaped by head and heart, intellect and love. They are both outstanding students and extraordinary people. We invite you to discover for yourself this unique treasure of Jewish education in Boston, and share it with your children. 2 Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik, lZvf 3 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD For 70 years, Maimonides School has educated bnei Torah -- spectacular young men and women who have actively embraced the Mesorah lived and taught by our school’s revered founder, Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik, l”z. From kindergarten, through high school, to yeshivot in Israel, to universities and graduate schools, and ultimately to the heart of Jewish communities all over the world and in Israel, imbued with a love of Torah and equipped to operate at the highest level of society, intellectually and professionally, Maimonides has been and continues to be a source of energy and lifeblood to the Jewish community. In this context, we have the privilege to honor and embrace Jennifer and Scott Tobin this year. On every level -- as deeply committed bnei Torah themselves, as the parents of four wonderful children in our school, as dedicated, effective and powerful lay leaders within our school community and our broader Jewish community -- Jen and Scott model beautifully the outcome we pursue in our school. Jen and Scott live their lives in modernity, as successful professionals, as successful parents, as inspiring leaders within our community -- all the while, in the beautiful and visible context of their Torah values. That the Tobin Family is in the midst of making aliyah, up to the Land of Israel, is a poignant overtone to this year’s celebration. As our school celebrates 70 years of the principles espoused by the Rav -- the centrality of Halacha, the demanding standard of excellent education equally for girls and boys, a visceral and tangible connection to Medinat Yisrael, and the important of living chesed within our kahal -- we are mindful that the State of Israel has just celebrated its 60th “anniversary.” That the Tobins are choosing to make their home in Israel is a beautiful link between the community we work so hard to build at the Maimonides School, and the Land we love and yearn for. Maimonides School’s myriad achievements this year – in the beit midrash, classroom and laboratory, on the ballfield and the stage, are enhanced by the almost tangible presence of Israel in the very atmosphere. From the Elementary School children’s singing of Hatikvah and their Shulchan Ivrit, from the Jerusalem time clock in the auditorium to seniors’ classes on Israel advocacy, Zionism is a cornerstone of the Maimonides experience. And nearly 200 alumni who reside in Israel are living testimony. 4 Amidst these milestones for our school and our people, I thank everyone for their support, from the teachers and administrators to the volunteer leaders, committee members, donors, room parents, event planners. For 70 years Maimonides has personified a school community, and with G-d’s help that will provide an impregnable foundation for the future. Jeffrey Swartz Board Chair 5 Message from the Executive Director Maimonides School is thrilled to culminate its 70th year with a successful Annual Campaign and Gala in honor of Jennifer and Scott Tobin. The school begins its eighth decade with renewed commitment to its mission, pride and gratitude for its achievements, and confidence that future challenges will be successfully met by hundreds of dedicated and capable professionals and volunteers. Our school community is inspired by the generations whose efforts we have been blessed to inherit. The Tobins represent a new generation of leadership that is reinvigorating Maimonides school. They have devoted their time, imagination, skills and resources to the full range of school activities and priorities, from the classroom to the Board room, from PTA projects to financial security. They and their children serve as an authentic model for engaged and committed families. Our school family, with the usual mixed emotions, salutes the members of the Class of 2008 as they close this chapter of their lives. This is our school’s largest senior class, and its record of academic effort, extracurricular accomplishment and commitment to chesed will be hard to duplicate. We welcome the seniors to one of the country’s fastest-growing Jewish organizations – the Maimonides School Alumni Association. We note with sadness the passing of Mr. Abraham Levovitz, beloved leader, mentor, friend and president of our school. Mr. Levovitz’s efforts over several decades were largely responsible for the stability and growth of our school. He is profoundly missed. As the campaign draws to a close, I extend heartfelt thanks to the Development Committee, Philip Levy, Debbie Swartz and Jenn Weinstock, and the dozens of volunteer solicitors who are the backbone of this fundraising effort. The energy and creativity invested by Risa Gewurz and Allison Mael, chairs of the Annual Gala, are sure to result in a spectacular event. Thanks and kudos as well to the administrators and staff of the Accounting and Development Offices, whose behind-the-scenes efforts and loyal service are cornerstones of any successful campaign.

Soloveitchik, lZvf The “Builders of Maimonides” The Children of Maimonides School 7 Jennifer & Scott Tobin Every institution depends on a core of committed, passionate volunteers like Scott and Jennifer Tobin, honorees of Maimonides School’s 2008 Annual Campaign. “The notion of participating is inherently connected to who Jen and I are as people,” Scott explains. “It’s in our blood, it’s in our being. It was passed on to us by our parents and grandparents.” Adds Jennifer, “The motivation is that we feel Maimonides is our community. We get a lot from Maimonides, and we want to contribute to it in return.” Scott and Jennifer Tobin grew up in Long Island, New York. He graduated from Brandeis in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies and a concentration in international relations. She is a 1993 Brandeis graduate, earning her degree in neuroscience. They have four children: Benjamin, 10 and a Maimonides fifth-grader; Coby, 8 and a Maimonides second grader; Avi, age 5. and Zachary, almost 3. During their six years as Maimonides School parents, the depth and breadth of the Tobins’ commitment and involvement have served as a model for all school families. Scott shared his professional expertise as a member of the Development Committee in 2004 and joined the Board of Directors the following year. He chairs the Board’s Investment Committee and is a member of the Strategic Planning Committee. He also organized a letter-writing campaign among Elementary School students to American forces stationed in Iraq. Jennifer began her volunteer service on the Recruitment Committee in 2002 and is currently co-chair of the Parent-Teacher Association, after serving as a room parent for several years. She also started the popular adult women’s Wednesday night basketball program, now in its second year in the Maimonides gym. Earlier this year the Tobins chaired a hugely successful and unprecedented comedy night. “Community involvement,” Scott asserts, is “inherently connected to the responsibility we have as members of the Jewish community. Our lives would certainly not be as fulfilling if we weren’t activists in some form or another, whether it be encouraging the students to write letters to soldiers or bringing the community together for a comedy night, hosting our children’s grades in our succah, or just serving pizza at school on Rosh Chodesh. They’re all one and the same.” 8 “We’ve had super role models,” Jennifer says. “We are very fortunate to be friends with people who have been part of Maimonides since its inception. Because of that we know how hard it was to create this school in a time when there was nothing else like it here in Boston. And when we see people that are still coming to the Maimonides dinner long after their children have graduated, it’s a sign to us that this really is a true community that cares about Jewish education. They taught us the bigger picture, that in supporting Maimonides we also help make Boston a viable and beautiful place to live as an Orthodox Jew.” Jennifer feels her children “are definitely proud of the fact that we’re at the school so much, that we spend so much time in the building, whether it’s for Family Learning or just being in their classrooms. For them academics is just one aspect of Maimonides. It’s also their community center where they feel secure and comfortable, and free to be themselves. Most importantly, it’s not just a school. It’s a place where the whole family is involved.” “It’s our hope,” Scott says, “that just as our grandparents instilled in our parents, and our parents instilled in us, that we will instill in our children the responsibility of being doers and making a difference in the communities that they will one day call home.” Scott joined Battery Ventures, a private equity and venture capital firm in 1997 and has been a general partner since 2000. Jennifer conducted clinical research on aging and memory at the Einstein College of Medicine in New York and Massachusetts General Hospital. The Tobins, who reside in Brookline, are actively involved in a number of other Jewish organizations, including AIPAC and CJP, and also helped launch Mercaz Ma’asei in Israel, a national service initiative and training center. Its mission is strengthening Israeli society through professional volunteerism and developing the next generation of civic leaders. 9 In Memoriam Rabbi M.J.

The Adbook was distributed to everyone attending the school’s Annual Gala, which took place on June 1 at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. Nearly 400 seniors, parents, teachers, friends and supporters attended the Gala, celebrating a memorable school year and a successful Annual Campaign. Highlight of the event was recognition of the school’s honorees, parents Jennifer and Scott Tobin, who exemplify a new generation of Maimonides School volunteer leaders. The Tobins were introduced by a video tribute and by remarks by Zev Gewurz, their friend and neighbor. The honorees, who plan aliyah in the summer of 2008, spoke about the importance of service to the school. They accepted an engraved Kiddush cup as a gift from the school community. Also in the spotlight at the Annual Gala were members of Maimonides School’s Class of 2008. Seniors were introduced individually, to prolonged applause, and several fulfilled roles in the program, including a dvar Torah by Felicia Kuperwaser and a tribute to faculty by Sarah Cassel, outgoing co-presidents of the Student Council. Evan Gale led the singing of national anthems and Yehudah Leib Ahearn the Birkat HaMazon. Rabbi David Shapiro, Rosh Yeshiva, offered memorial tributes to two pillars of the school community who died over the past year, Rabbi Isaiah Wohlgemuth z”l and President Emeritus Abraham Levovitz z”l. Also speaking were Jeffrey Swartz, who chairs the Maimonides Board of Directors, and two former executive directors, Joshua Wolff ’89 and Leora Joseph. The event began with an extended dinner reception—a spectacular buffet from Catering by Andrew. As guests arrived, they were greeted by music provided by the Maimonides Jazz Band. Chairs of the Annual Gala were Risa Gewurz, Allison Mael and Jennifer Weinstock. 2007–2008 Maimonides School Scholarship Adbook Supplement / 1 dwbkl RABBI DOVID SHAPIRO RABBI GERSHON SEGAL Helen & Ernst Weglein 2 / 2007–2008 Maimonides School Scholarship Adbook Supplement חנוך לנער על פי דרכו (גם כי יזקין לא יסור ממנה )משלי כב In honor of our children’s wonderfully talented and dedicated teachers Morah Rosalie Koblick Rabbi Avraham Preil Ms. Sharon Pywell Rabbi Dovid Reisman Rabbi Roy Rosenbaum Morah Raphaella Serfaty Mrs. Katerina Sherman Mrs. Malka Simkovich Ms. Lora Smid Ms. Karyn Spero Dr. Steven Steinsaltz Rabbi Jon Bloomberg Rabbi Nathaniel Berman Mr. Hal Borkow Mrs. Aliza Baronofsky Mr. Tomer Ben Shoham Mrs. Katie del Hierro Mr. Christopher Dore Mr. Refael Fadlon Mrs. Maria Guzman Dr. Jerald Halpern Mr. Marc Kates Debbie & David ’85 Schiff Yaakov, Ilana, Talia and Avigail ❧ JEN & SCOTT We join the Maimonides Kehilla in saluting all of your wonderful accomplishments on behalf of our school, our community and Klal Yisrael.
