OUR MISSION The N. E. Miles Jewish Day School strives to create a family of learners who value lifelong study,

respect human diversity and are able to make informed choices about their lives. Our goal is to

provide a stimulating and nurturing environment, encouraging each student to feel positive

about him/herself and others while preparing each student to be knowledgeable, caring and

contributing members of the Jewish people, the United States of America, and the world. As a

community day school, we seek to imbue our students with a love for G-d, Torah, and Israel and

to teach respect for diverse viewpoints. Our unique program endeavors to

integrate Judaic and General studies, incorporating the highest values of

Judaism and American democracy.

A LETTER FROM OUR HEAD OF SCHOOL Hello friends! I am so excited that you are able to join us at the Friedman Center for Jewish Life, and so very grateful for what that represents: a generous and involved community of past and present parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, board members, donors, and friends who wholeheartedly believe in our school’s mission!

As you know, we are in the final throes of our Capital Campaign - aptly named Building for the Future. With our renovations winding down and our teacher training revving up, this school year has indeed been a year teeming with joyful learning, exciting discovery, unbridled creativity and enormous growth.

Tonight we gather as a community, eat, have fun and fundraise together to benefit our exceptional Day School. There are many people to acknowledge and thank, but three in particular deserve a shout out! Thank you to Craig McClure for being the glue that held our team together, and to Barbara Aland, and Stacey Eddy for co-chairing the Gala this year! You both led a fantastic and enthusiastic group of volun-teers and as a result of your leadership, this evening is a rousing success!

I would also like to thank the Day School’s administrators, faculty and staff and our many corporate and individual sponsors, for without you, this evening would not have been such a success!

I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch, but I will… and say thank you to you all in advance for your very generous support! Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for everything you do to help the NEMJDS thrive as the truly exceptional place that it is.

If you haven’t already done so, please come by for a tour…it’ll be my pleasure to show you what your support has done for our community Day School.

Kosher Sensitive

Certified Kosher

Food items labeled “Certified Kosher” are hechshered** or have been determined by the school mashgiach*** to be Kosher, or can be cooked in your home according to your family’s practice of Kashrut.

*Kosher foods are those which Jews are permitted to eat under the laws of Kashrut found in the Torah and in subsequent

Rabbinic law. Kashrut laws designate which foods may be eaten and establish requirements for food preparation.

Different streams of Judaism interpret these laws differently.

** Many food companies are Certified Kosher, which is noted by a hechsher, or Kosher symbol, on the packaging.

***A mashgiach is a specially trained person hired by a restaurant or food production company to ensure that the laws of

Kashrut are strictly observed during food preparation and service.

estate in the southern Rho ne Valley, dating back to 1549. The wine is

produced by using a much larger percentage of old vine Mourvedre,

which can be up to 60% of the blend, depending on the vintage. Out of

the entire Cha teauneuf-du-Pape appellations, this wine can probably

be aged the longest. Cha teauneuf-du-Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin

is black purple to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of smoke,

camphor, blackberry, cassis, sweet cherry, white flowers, licorice, and

Chinese black tea. The wine has superb richness, huge tannins, massive

concentration, and a monster finish – according to Robert Parker, Wine Advocates,

it is rated a 95 (an outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character).

Mason, Adison and Kyra -

When you were small, we dreamed of the young Jewish adults you

would become - confident, independent, caring and mensches. We

chose the Day School to help guide you on your journey. And here you

are today, just months away from becoming B’nei Mizvah and we are so

proud. You are hard working students who love learning. You are

confident in who you are as individuals. You have strong Jewish

values. You are loving, nurturing and committed tikkun olam - making

the world a better place. And you are not afraid of a challenge. We are

watching our dreams come true. You are all incredible individuals!

We love you very much!

Love, Mom and Dad
