Today, our seniors watched The Children of October 7, a powerful documentary presented by Montana Tucker featuring firsthand accounts from Israeli children who survived the October 7 attacks. Before the film, Maya Cohen ‘25 urged her classmates to carry these stories with them as they head to Israel next year. We will never forget—and we won’t stop sharing the truth until all our hostages are home!

Our 9th grade culinary students are diving into their pastry and baking unit—and had the special opportunity to learn from Orly Gottesman (Frisch ‘05), founder of the successful restaurant chain Modern Bread and Bagel! Orly shared how she turned her passion for gluten-free baking into a thriving business. Entrepreneurship students joined to hear about her business model and the inspiring story of how she built it all from the ground up.
Orly, you have always made us so proud—and as your Frisch yearbook bio foreshadowed, great things were always in your future!✨🥯

Remembering Maoz Morell z”l
This Yom Hazikaron, we honored the memory of Maoz Morell z”l, cousin of our beloved Mrs. Adina Kramer. At just 21, Maoz gave his life in Gaza, heroically saving 12 fellow soldiers while under fire.
A quiet and humble soul, Maoz carried Mesilat Yesharim in his pocket and lived by goals of kindness, discipline, and resilience.
“You are missing from us,” said his 13-year-old sister. But his legacy lives on—of strength, humility, and selfless courage.
Our round robin skits told the story of Israel’s founding through the eyes of heroes like David Ben-Gurion, Rav Kook, Louis Brandeis, and even a special appearance by King David! These skits, performed by our talented faculty, highlighted the rootedness and indigeneity of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel from the inception of our people thousands of years ago through the present, the Jewish return to Zion in modern times, as well as the proud history of American Zionism, whose values have always echoed America’s call to freedom.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Mazal tov to our very own Ilan Romm ‘25 on winning second place at the International Chidon HaTanach for Youth in Jerusalem! An incredible achievement, reflecting years of dedication and mastery of over 400 chapters of Tanach.
Mazal tov as well to Elad Yanir (אלעד יניר) from Israel on winning first place! What an inspiring accomplishment for both finalists!
We honor you. We remember you.
