Itay had a short professional career as a soccer player on the Israeli National Team playing a midfield position. He then went on to serve in the Israel Defense Force for three years in the Air Force. After serving in military, Berger attended Law School in Israel and began his professional career working for one of the largest law firms in Israel, specializing in commercial and real estate law. After only two years of practicing law, Itay Berger accepted a family offer to enter the diamond industry. He began working for Diamonds Direct’s parent company, head-quartered in Israel. After studying and mastering the fundamentals and intricacies of the diamond trade, Berger was asked to relocate to Charlotte, NC to serve as Vice President of Diamonds Direct’s first retail store, Diamonds Direct Southpark in Charlotte, NC. With great dedication and focus Berger developed the Charlotte store and set his sights on opening Start Over new locations across the US to showcase Diamonds Direct’s exceptional business philosophy. In 2005, Berger started the Diamonds Direct Foundation, a 501-C3 non-profit organization that focuses on giving back to the communities where their businesses are located, in particular to women and children organizations. Diamonds Direct has been honored as one of the top 20 independent jewelers in the US, due in large to Berger’s dedication to the business. Berger has since opened four more locations- Raleigh, NC, Birmingham, AL, Richmond, VA and Austin, TX, and is in the process of developing several others.

Restart Sections Honorees & Chairmen Samuel & Peggy Nitka Start Over IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Restart Sections IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII G O L D Pa g e Samuel and Peggy Nitka are proud of their Jewish heritage and support education amongst many other worthy causes. The Nitkas reside in Brooklyn and are proud parents to 3 beautiful children. Samuel is the president of Crown Equities Group LLC, specializing in Real Estate .

Samuel and Peggy are Start Over true Jewish heroes whose absolute commitment to the needs of the community is a model for all of us, and we are blessed to have them in our midst. Restart Sections Dedicated to The Lubavitcher Rebbe Whose passion for excellence in education Is the passion and inspiration for Bnos Menachem School for Girls. When Bnos Menachem opened our doors in 1999, we chose to grace our school with the name of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, thus “Bnos Menachem”, Daughters of Menachem, with the sincere anticipation that the school would model its method in the ways of the Rebbe’s teachings and the students would be representative of the Rebbe’s vision for young women in today’s society. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII D e d i c at e d t o T h e R e b b e The Lubavitcher Rebbe, stresses the tremendous importance of education, educating children and educating women, noting that the woman, who is the mainstay of the home, sets the tone of the home and the direction in which she leads her children. Using the Rebbe’s directives for guidance, we share with each young woman the mitzvos that pertain to her, and their meanings, so that she will be confident and capable to answer those who may question her. The messages she has absorbed through warmth and understanding will be easy to communicate to others. The Rebbe’s constant encouragement and unwavering vision to prepare the world for the arrival of Moshiach, is an actuality. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Our Sages declared that it was through the merit of righteous women, that our forefathers were redeemed from Egypt. In the merit of today’s women, we will merit the forthcoming redemption of our people. We embrace the challenge and responsibility to raise young women with finesse, purpose and privilege, instilling within them confidence, competence and compassion. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII D i g n i ta r y G r e e t i n g s Rabbi Shmary Gurary Dear Friend and Supporter, Thank you for celebrating with us at the Gala Dinner for Bnos Menachem School. Tonight, we are reaffirming our promise to Educate, Encourage and Empower every student to reach her full potential. We are hoping to provide the necessary classroom tools to enable every teacher to say “I can reach every student” and every parent to say “Bnos Menachem cares about my child.” Indeed, Bnos Menachem utilizes tremendous resources to demonstrate our concern for the physical, emotional and spiritual well being of every child. Start Over IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Offering a good education means combining a comfortable environment with a structured curriculum, and satisfying the tremendous thirst for knowledge. Our school hopes that every graduate will become an ambassador of Chabad, an exemplary model of our faith, and a representative of Bnos Menachem, wherever life takes her. With these expectations in mind, we need to make sure that she is fully equipped to pursue her dreams and utilize all her formative years to reach her goals. Restart Sections IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII D i g n i ta r y G r e e t i n g s Bnos Menachem takes great pride in our acceptance policy, welcoming many eager students, without the means to pay for a basic education. All are enveloped by warmth and understanding, respect and admiration. We want them to achieve! We want them to succeed!
